General Notes

William Hewes, first in the American line, came from London, England, with his wife, Deborah, about 1674-5 and not later than 1684, and located on Ouldman's creek, Salem county, N.J., where he died in 1698. His only child appears to havebeen William Hewes, Jr., who succeeded his father on Ouldman's creek, and in 1689, was married to Sarah Bezer, a daughter of Edward Bezer. The junior Hewes, like his father, was a member of the Society of Friends.
