Sold his Port Washington land/estate to Howard Gould who onsold to the Guggenheims. A PW contact suggests he (if correct one) later sold up and went "out West". My GF's brother was his coachman and also died in the 1930's; Walter Hewett established his own business (hacks, freight, and later taxis) there in the early 1900's. Can you tell me any more - are we getting warm at last. NY Historical Soc., and Cow Neck Hist. Soc., PW, have been unable to help. The link to Howard Gould/Guggenheims and his name is proven.
