General Oliver Delancey.

Born at Hampstead on Long Island in the then Province of New York,

Some interesting particulars of the services of Lt. Col. Hewlett
during the Revolution are to be found in Jones' Loyalist History of
New York. He was a brave and capable officer.

We cannot at this time follow further the fortunes of the Loyalists of
1733. Their privations and their toils were not in vain. History has
justified their attitude during the Revolutionary epoch, and their
merits are acknowledged by broad minded and impartial students of
history in the United States. The late Professor Moses Coit Tyler, of
the University of Cornell, gave it as his opinion, "That the side of

humane effort, all coincident with the beginnings of English
civilization in North America, nay with the beginnings of
civilization itself in that fast-anchored isle beyond the sea,
which is the beloved mother of us all. If between your ancestors
and ours, on
