I should be able to help you more, but it was 10 years and more ago when I was deep into research of this area and it's inhabitants. Unfortunately, having concluded my family researches of the 19th Century, I have not kept all the notes I had, and the memories have faded.

Evidently, you need to fix the Hewlett family trees from 1768/69 until the 1850's.

Gloucester County Records has an excellent set of documents re. Encroachments 1834. There had been a lot of illegal building over time and the Government decided to legitimize the situation. The result was a series of maps and attached lists of owners and or occupiers linked by numbers. (Q/RGf 1/6) for Blakeney Walk which included Soudley. There were two Samuel Hewlett's Nos. 17 and 27. As far as I can remember, neither was Bradley House. When I first saw the house I reckoned it was 1840's but may be wrong.
