Joseph Hewes Was Neither Born Nor Was He Raised On or At Maybury Hill.[edit]

1. Joseph Hewes was not born in the United States because the United States did not come into existence until 1776 and Hewes was born in 1730. Analogously, Hewes was not born in or at Maybury Hill because the small stone house built in the vernacular style was never called Maybury Hill until after Hewes had left home.

Hewes, the son of Aaron and Providence Hughes/Hewes, was born in 1730 and he moved to Philadelphia about 1750. The farm where Hewes was born and raised was not called Maybury Hill or Mayberry Hill until after 1750 and probably not until about 1850.

We know this because the property bordering the Aaron' property was called Mayberry Hill. See John F. Hageman, Princeton and its Institutions Vol, 1, (Philadelphia: J.B. Lippincott & Co., 1879), p. 47. Available a https://archive.org/details/historyofprincet01hage/page/n3/mode/2up

Thomas Leonard owned several plantations around Princeton. In his 1755 will Leonard left the property called Mayberry Hill, located next to Aaron Hughes, to his nephew. See also, Constance Greiff, Mary Gibbons, Elizabeth Menzies, Princeton Architecture: A Pictorial History of Town and Campus Princeton, N.J.: Princeton Univ. Press, 1967) #22.

2, The house currently called 'Maybury Hill' is a beautiful Georgian Style house. Hewes was born and raised in a small vernacular style stone house which still remains as part of an enlarged structure unseen behind a modern facade. 'Maybury Hill, as it is described in the current article, is not identical to the house that Joseph Hewes was born and raised in.
