Edward "Ned" Hector was a Black soldier who fought in the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, serving as a teamster and a bombardier with the Pennsylvania State Militia. Despite his service in the war, his requests for payment of his military pension were repeatedly denied. He ultimately received a one-time payment of just forty dollars.
Noah Lewis was born in Heidelberg, Germany, when his dad was stationed there during the occupation. He holds a degree in biology from Harding University and several technical degrees in electronics. He became interested in living history shortly after the death of his wife, Mary, following her delivery of their fourth child. Following her example, Noah would become a classroom helper at Bywood Elementary. While researching his family genealogy, he learned about Edward Hector. Although not related, Ned would lead him to a better understanding of Black colonial people's contribution to America. The teacher asked him to share this information with the classroom, so Noah started transitioning from electronic repair to living history. Noah Lewis is a living history presenter for schools, historical sites, and historical events. He is also a history researcher and writer and has been the subject of many newspapers, videos, advertisements, and telecast media. He resides in Upper Darby, Pennsylvania.
