Most of the children on this profile have a Shrewsbury POB so I suspect some of them belong to George (Hewlett) Hulit, Hulate (abt.1650-abt.1722), who was from Rhode Island and died in Shrewsbury.

This George, according to findagrave, lived and died on Long Island. Anyone looking at these families, be careful of conflation.

The Shrewsbury George was a Quaker, I don't see any Quaker sources for this one (but both need research).

Hi I have a question about George Hewlett’s birthplace. His profile shows he was born in NY, but other sources show he was born in England. Such as Long Island Surnames (from his sons record) https://longislandsurnames.com/getperson.php?personID=I00689&tree=Hewlett

Are there sources confirming NY as the birthplace, or is this an error?

according to his father's profile, the family arrived in Mass Bay in 1636 so an England POB is the best guess.
