A Collection of Hewat Pictures (click to enlarge)
In 1619 (the year of the Mayflower) Peter Hewat was exiled to
Crossraguel Abbey, near Maybol on the west coast, later sacked by the English, as shown here.
I don't know how Peter Hewat was related to present-day Hewats, but
either he or his father was the first to spell the name that way in
the mid 16th century. Peter had been a 'notaire' (lawyer) in Edinburgh, a member
of the Scottish parlement as well as a leader in the reformed Church and
the last "abbot" of Crossraguel. It was for opposing the church policy of James VI of Scotland
(who had become James I of England) that Peter was exiled. The belongings at the death of Peter Hewat, minister at Maybol were recorded on 18/01/1648 at the GLASGOW COMMISSARY COURT document CC9/7/30 which can be downloaded from the Wills & Testaments section of Scotland's People.
Dr Alexander Hewat (1739-1824) was the first historian of South Carolina and Georgia,
and the brother of Captain Andrew Hewat, a loyalist planter in South Carolina and my gggg
grandfather (courtesy of Dianne Kelly (USA) via Victoria Dunlop).

William's second son. Lizzie was a missionary in Egypt and tried to stay in touch
with Hewats throughout the world, as well as researching the family history.

I have a photocopy of all of the good stuff. Here is a transcript of a letter to
my GGGgrandmother Jane Johnstone, from her soon to be husband Andrew Hewat, who was studying to be a chemist
