steadily from that point on with the greatest building development coming during the 1920-1930 boom. Stories of Near Rockaway's people provide interesting information and amusing lore about the early village, but a few men in particular, were unique. Joseph Haviland, the original mill owner, was given a grant of town land and the liberty to erect a grist mill at Rockaway swamp to grind the town's corn for 1 12 part thereof . Alexander Davison was the original trader of East Rockaway; he started off with nothing but an empty boat and came back with a ship full of lumber and supplies. Alexander and his crew often put out from the village dock with an empty ship, anchoring in the bay until they had a load of oysters and clams. They then proceeded to New York to trade part of the shellfish for staples, and sailed on up the Hudson to Albany to trade the remainder of the shellfish and the staples for lumber. The town's rugged individualist in the Revolution was Colonel Richard Hewlett of the Queen’s Royal militia, the only resident of Near Rockaway to fight on the loyalist side. For his valor, Colonel Hewlett was accorded the general treatment for Loyalists, confiscation of all his holdings and property. He then went to Canada, but in 1795 his wife and sons came back and regained possession of their property. In general, the outstanding characteristics of the founders and those who followed them in the development of this village were: courage to face problems, canniness in business matters, and confidence in their ability to succeed. Turning now to consideration of the members of our Senior Class, we hope that they, too, will be able to draw upon these same inner resources in finding places for themselves in this new world of today. 9
