Near the end of this list I note "William Hewey" Does anyone have information on this individual? Is he well documented or should I explore him as a possible variation of William Huey [my ancestor] who bought land in neighboring Westtown Township in 1730? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Sandra Ferguson" <ferg@ntelos.net> To: <pa-old-chester-l@rootsweb.com> Cc: "cyndie eckman" <cyndiee@tampabay.rr.com> Sent: Wednesday, November 01, 2006 2:47 PM Subject: [PaOldC] Thornbury tax rate 1729 > George Pierce > John Willis > Jonathan Hatcher > Phillip Taylor & land in W.

Goodness, why would you NOT consider this just another spelling of the same name? What would you be 'out' to do so? It doesn't even seem much of a reach to me. I looked up both spellings in Futhey and Cope, and fine nothing under Hewey, but only a couple mentions of the surname Huey... A James Huey is listed on the taxable list of Westtown in 1753. A James Huey is listed as a land-owner, 1774, in Westtown A John Huey is on the London Britain tax list for 1753 The 1765 Chester archives contain only one; James Huey owned 165 acres in West Town...he even had 1 servant.
