Yes, but they had no incentive to do something. Some were Quakers who refused to aid soldiers because they didn't believe in fighting. Others were loyalists. There were also merchants trying to make a living and the British were paying them for services. And those who wanted to help were probably disuaded by the British soldiers with guns scattered across the city.
