Based on the history of George Hewes as an individual he Spent time in debtors prison. Owed debts to multiple people and fled with unpaid debt. Saw conner and followed him. Recognized him from the stables. Where conner rented horses. Hewes lived in another area with his family and came to the area to do his failed apprenticeship across from Conners stable. Leads me to believe he had unpaid debts to him as well. And made up the story to avoid debt. Hewes is not listed on any rosters and sought a pension after the war claiming to have worked with the militias. None of his stories add up and has a history of dishonesty. Whereas Conner does not.
