Hicks was a Loyalist and was the first to appear in front of a committee of nine colonials formed by the New York Provincial Congress in 1776 to investigate "domestic enemies" "disaffected to the American cause". He met with this committee in June 15, 1776, indicating his loyalty to the king and was subsequently put on parole.[3] References1. ^Greenbook-Mayors of the City of New York, retrieved on September 8, 2008 {{PreConsolidationNYCMayors}}{{Authority control}}{{DEFAULTSORT:Hicks, Whitehead}}{{NewYork-mayor-stub}}2. ^Whitehead Hicks-Historical Society of the New York Courts, retrieved on January 24, 2017. 3. ^Studies in History, Economics and Public Law.
