From: Harry Merrihew
My ancestor David Merrihew was taxed in the Beekman
Patent until 1768
and I had found no reference to him until 1786 when he
was in Albany
County. I recently found an obituary record for
one of his sons
which said the son was born in Long Island on August 22,
1774 and that
he moved from Long Island with his parents as
child. I am looking
for any information on the Merrihew family on Long
Island in this
timeframe. I have checked the 1776 census for
Suffolk County with
no luck and David does not appear in Revolutionary War
records.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I am
looking for
any and all information on my 4th great-grandparents,
Ephraim and
Catharina/Katrin Baker. Ephraim Baker was born
about 1750 perhaps
in the Long Island, New York area. He married
Catharina/Katrin
unknown before June of 1775. In June of 1775, they
purchased land
in Rochester, Ulster, New York. Ephraim’s will was
probated on
May 8, 1829 in Middletown, Delaware, New York. In
1829 he and
Catharina had 10 living children: Catharina, Frederick,
Henry, Ann,
James S. Benjamin, Sally, Ephraim, William and
Mary. Ephraim’s
wife, Catharina was still living.
I am trying to locate the names of Ephraim’s parents and
the maiden
name of Catharina.

I am
looking for
the death and burial of my Uncle, Sydney Thomas Wayman,
who was born in
1869 in London England. I know little about him,
but it seems
that in his old age he lived with his granddaughter
[name unknown] who
was a doctor, on Long Island. This is an
incredible long shot, I
know. I do know that he was living in April 1946
as he appears on

I like to know who “and others” were in the
Midwout patent of
Stuyvesant to Jan Snediker, Arent van Hatten and
Johann Megapolensis
. Does that mean the original document (which I
believe has been
lost probably to the English about 1684) said “and
others” or does this
mean the transcribed version simply did not list all
names and
concluded with “and others”?
Certanly one of the “and others” would be Thomas
Swartenhout who
actually had a letters patent for 116 acres in
1651. I would
appreciate any details about the receivers of this
patent or individual
patents for Midwout 1651/52.

nothing.

Good
evening. I
am in El Paso, Texas. Only recently did I
discover your Long
Island site. I must say - IT IS FABULOUS!
My query possibly cannot be responded to.
I was born in Wurtsboro, NY (Sul
Co). Due to family
problems, my mother (Divorced of separated), farmed me
out to various
families so that she could make a go at life with
limited
responsibilities.
One place I remember was in Jamaica,
LI. She put me
with a family by the name of WALLENSTEIN (Various
spellings).
This was around 1935. I don't recall their
address since I was
too young to remember.
My mother's maiden name was
ROSENCRANS.
I remember a farm and bording house
situation near Liberty
- the DOMBECKS (Various spelling), where people from
New York City
would visit on vacation during the summer. I
sincerely believe
that the Wallensteins visited this farm and that is
how my mother
became acquainted with them.
Genealogically I am interested in the
Wallensteins - what
possible reason could there be for my mother to place
me with
them.
I think they were Jewish?????

me a list of
the 30 people buried there sometime ago and I have been

I will be happy to pay reasonable expenses if someone
can visit the

available. Perhaps
by seeing how the graves are grouped, I can begin to
identify some of
those I do not know and, of course, I hope to gain
further insight from

I am looking for information involving the Smith family
of Hempstead,
Long Island, NY. My Great-Great Grandmother was Harriet
Smith
(1840-1875) who married Benjamin Franklin Sammis
(1833-1881) on
February 28, 1858. While doing family research at the
Long Island
Studies Institute, I ran across a document naming
Margaret Smith the
executrix of the will of Samuel B Smith. In that
document all of
Harriet and Benjamin's children are named along with
Stephen C Smith,
George A Smith and Wesley Smith. I am looking for the
link between
Harriet Smith Sammis and Samuel B Smith. I have checked
the Census
reports with no luck. In Greenfield Cemetery near
Hempstead the two
family plots (Smith and Sammis) are adjacent to each
other although
Samuel B Smith is not in the Smith plot. It would be
easy to assume (a
no-no for genealogists) that Samuel B Smith is Harriet's
father or
brother. Does anyone have information on Samuel B Smith
and/or Harriet
Smith Sammis of Hempstead? I am also looking for any
further info on
the Smith family of Hempstead. Any help would truly be

I am
searching for
information on Long Island concerning my ancestor,
Musco Wright, who
was in the First Battallion of Pennsylvania Loyalists
in the King's
American Regiment during the Revolutionary War. He was
commanded by
Col. William Allen and Capt. Joseph Swift. He spent
most of the
Revolutionary War in Pensacola, Florida with the
British. He survived
the Battle of Pensacola, Florida ( Mar. 9-May 8, 1781
).Musco's
regiment was allowed to go to Long Island, New York
until the war was
officially over.
Their
ship arrived
in New York on July 23, 1781. The rest of their
garrison had arrived a
week before. All of the troops were posted to Newtown,
Long Island,
where they would remain as prisoners on parole for
exactly a year. This
inactivity would last until July 24, 1782, when the
Pensacola survivors
were officially exchanged and allowed to do duty.
Musco Wright's rank
was changed from private to corporal.
The
corps embarked
on board the " Bridgewater " for River Saint John in
Canada on Sept.
12, 1783. According to muster rolls, Musco Wright was
in Guanis,
Newtown, and Yellow Hook on Long Island in New York.
Also
with him when
he came to Long Island was his wife, Mary ( maiden
name unknown ) and 3
of their children ( names unknown ) who had followed
him to Pensacola,
Florida during the war while he was stationed there.
Also in his unit
was his friend, William Grier, and his wife and
children.
Could
you check
your Loyalist
resources for any information concerning Musco Wright
and his wife and
children
on Long Island in Newtown for the time period of 1781
- 1783,
inclusive?

Re your good commentary on

is the JOHN GARDINER you mention the 17thC London
merchant, John
Gardiner,
who was active in the English Crown's West India trade
& also
Warden
of the Merchant-Venturers in 1626? Might you have a line
on THAT
particular
John Gardiner, if he's NOT 'your' John
Gardiner? If this is
the
same man, is your JG a Londoner who also
traveled to Africa
in
the mid-17thC, either as a merchant / privateer or in
some official
capacity for the Court of Charles II? Have you any
information at
all on these matters, please? (This is part of
a big &

parents/siblings came to New York (Brooklyn) ca Aug.
1845 from
England. She went by Carrie M.
Wallin, but her name
may have been Caroline or Clara
originally. The history
goes she was orphaned by both parents and she and her
siblings were
sent to live with others. Carrie & Mary Ann
lived in Cayuga
Co. NY for awhile. They may have been put on an
orphan train to
go West (western NY). Are
there records of orphanages or societies on Long
Island for the
1840's-1850's? IN 1900 Census she lists place of
birth as "Long
Island" and this has been the tradition in our
history.
Would there be a birth
record for her
anywhere? Her siblings (all b.
England) included:
John T. Walling who died
in Napa, CA
in 1920--joined Army & served in Union during Civil
War, I have all
history of him.
Mary Ann Wallin who m.
Horace John
Christian of Mentyz, Cayuga Co., NY--I have all her
history.
Richard Wallin (might have
added a
"g"), served in Military during or before Civil
War. Nothing more
known.
Susan Wallin, nothing more
known, age
11 in 1845.
Thomas Wallin or Walling,
age 4 in
1845, nothing more known.

I
am
looking
for
background
information
on
a Moses Reeves born New
York about 1810 (he was age 40 in 1850
census of Cayuga County,
NY, Town of Ledyard).
He had a wife Susan age 41;
sons Nelson <O> age 19; Moses age 17 and two
daughters Susan age
12 and Margaret aged 11. I have found this family
in 1860 and
1870
in Lansing, Tompkins
County, NY
and Candor in Tioga County.
How is Moses
connected to Experience (---) (Woolley) Brown, wife of
Ebenezer
Brown? Experience died in Tompkins Co. 25 March
1848, had a dau.
Calista who md. Charles N. Wager. The mother of
Charles N. Wager
was a (Miss) Reeves; the father of Charles was Andrew
Wager. The
Moses Reeves connection came up in the
probate abstraction:
Dianna Wooley, a daughter of Experience Brown
declines Adm.
In favor of Moses Reeves, of Ledyard, (Tioga
County
is shown but it should be Cayuga Co.), NY, a creditor.
I
have not found them in the Reeve(s) book by Baker which
I used
for my known Reeve line; in checking the Reeves
names listed
on the Long Island
web-site, I feel I
am in the right neighborhood. Perhaps these Reeves
were “lost”
when they moved “West” to the Finger Lakes
area ? Also found in Tompkins
County
(cemetery)
is a Mehitable Reeves, who was age 87 when she
died Aug 27,
1850. It has been suggested by earlier research
that perhaps
Experience
had a sister Patience; I found a Patience
married to a
Francis Woolley . “Mehettable Reaves” is
living with them
although Patience is only 49 whereas “Mahettable” is 87.
How do any of them tie into Ms. Reeves who md. my Andrew
Wager and
is the mother of Charles N. Wager and siblings?

a violent gale set in from the north-west and the
temperture changed to
piercing cold. Eight Men were cought out in this
storm with a conoe and
an
eight man periauger clamming in Jamaica Bay, evening
came and they had
not
returned and the Anxiety of their friends and

afternoon so the search effert could be made....The
periauger was
discovered driven on an island of sedge where the
frozen bodies of
SAMUEL LEVERICH, AMOS ROBERTS, and great

Christopher Foster and Wife
Frances
<Stevens>
I have just finished going over all of my information
on the Foster family connected to my Sayre family and
nowhere have
I found the surname for Frances (<Stevens>),
except in
the Ancestral File. Of course, with no source
documentation
unless one can view the film with the charts/information
on it (I
cannot), it is up for questioning: how valid is
this surname for Frances;
what
source(s)
used?
Has
anyone
been
able
to check this out in
parish registers in England
or other records? A will, perhaps?
Anything? Have we
found out for sure where in England Christopher was born
– information
I have by Banks says he came from Ewell Parish, Surrey,
England – but
of course, that does not mean that is
where he was born or was residing at the time of
emigration. (The
marriage
given on the Ancestral File is 24 Dec 1628, in Ewell, Surrey). Were the parents
of Frances
a Jerome Stevens and wife Alice (---)? Unfortunately, I
am out of the
loop for new findings that may be in libraries because I
no longer have
access to them where I live, so wondering if
something new has
come to light since my first go-around with these
ancestors several
years ago. ?

Hi: My
name is Jerri Jopling. I can fill in a little more
of the
Woodhull line. My grandmother was Helen Wooodhull,
daughter of
Benjamin Nelson Woodhull. She married Harvey
Charles
Jopling. They had three boys William, Richard and
Gary. My
father is Richard Jopling. He was born in
1934. I don’t
know when my Uncle Gary was born. My grandmother,
Helen, died in
childbirth around the time that my father was 11 years
old. She
and the baby both died. The baby was a girl named
Juanita I
believe. They are both buried together in
Champion, Alberta.
Is there any chance anyone would be able to fill in the
Jopling side
for me? I believe my grandfather’s father was
named Thomas Ralph
Jopling or Ralph Thomas Jopling. They emigrated
to Canada
from North
Dakota.
That
is
about
all
I
know.
I
was pleasantly surprised to find all
of the Woodhull information going so far back. Oh,
also
– my Aunt Florence Woodhull I think died in the early
1970’s.
I believe she served in the US Army as a nurse during
World War
II. My Uncle Arthur (Edwin Arthur Forrestt
Woodhull) was a house
painter living in Los Angeles,
California.
He came
to stay with us in Visalia,
CA for a
little
while. He died I believe in the 1970’s as
well. I’m not
sure when Aunt Gladys died ( and maybe she hasn’t – I
assume so
though). I believe she was living in Cardston, Alberta.

My family owned a large resort hotel in Glenwood Landing,
Long Island
on the North
Shore.
It
was in operation in the 20’s and 30’s as my mother remembers
going
there as a child and she was born in 1923. The hotel
was called
Karatsonyi’s. I don’t know when it was eventually
closed, but
I do know the family sold the land to LILCO, and its now

the

Looking for information on
Francis
Drake and Phebe Vail married 1723 in Southold, Suffolk Co.
and their
family. I am also interested in Richard Drake of Southold
and how he
might connect to this family. I am researching Francis Drake
of
Blooming Grove, Orange Co., NY. He had an Aunt Abigail
Parshall and a
brother Joshua. He was born ca 1735-40 and appears to have
migrated to
Orange Co. from Long Island between 1755-1776. He is listed
as a son of
Joseph Drake of Orange Co. in the book "Drake Genealogy in
the line of
Samuel Drake of Lower Smithfield Township, Northampton Co.,
PA" by
Lillian Drake Avery but DNA testing has proved
that he did
not belong to this "Dutch
Drake" line found
in Orange and Sullivan Co., New York.
Currently, there
are three Drake lines that are very closely related to
Francis Drake of
Blooming Groove. One line is Francis Drake of Dansville,
Steuben Co.,
NY who married Betsey Elizabeth Seeley in 1809. In letters
written
1880, it is claimed that his father was Francis Drake who
had the
following children: Francis, Joshua, Samuel, Julia, Sally,
Betsey,
Catherine, Jemima and Peter. The second family is Francis P.
Drake born
1801 who married Mary Ann Carpenter in Tompkins Co.late
1820's and
migrated through Ohio and settling in Wood Co., WV by 1849.
The other
line is descended directly from Francis Drake of Blooming
Grove through
his son, Francis who Anna Corwin in Orange Co. and lived in
Lansing,
Tompkins Co. The names Francis, Richard,
and John are carried in all of these three Drake family
lines. Any info
or lead greatly appreciated!

As a
child growing up on Long Island in the 1950's, I
remember learning
a poem, I think it was called "Thirteen Tribes", I don't
recall the
author. It begins:
"Thirteen
tribes
of
common
stock
Peopled
this
isle
called Paumanok (sp?) Before
the white man came along And took it over for a song."
It
then goes on to describe each tribe. I have tried every
search engine I
can think of with no success. I'm not sure this is an
appropriate
question to even ask this group, but since your
site has a
considerable amount of info on the Native Americans of
Long Island, I
thought I'd give it a try.

My great great grandmother was Mary
Powell who
according to the Powell family tree on your website was a
descendent of
Thomas Powell. She was the daughter of Solomon Powell born
1756 and had two brothers with children Thomas and
Solomon. Mary
marries John McFall. She is buried in Brooklyn with some of
the Powell
family including brother Oliver and possibly her mother. Her
daughter's
death certificate lists her birthplace as Babylon. I note
there is a
Powell's point in Babylon. If anyone has information on the
Solomon
Powell family Please contact me. Bill Stafford Seattle

STELLENWERF/TRAVIS
FAMILIES
Amos and Jane Travis Stellenwerf owned the Lake House Inn in
Islip from
about 1850 to his death in the 1890s (Jane died in the
1870s).
Amos's family is from Kings County (Brooklyn) and Jane's
seems to have
originated in Oyster Bay; one of her brothers, John, was a
famous
sharpshooter, and another brother, Jacob, was a very wealthy
"Captain." Amos's family goes back to around 1700 in
Brooklyn. Am looking for any information on these
family lines,
particularly, the very early Stellenwerfs (aka Stellingwerf)
of
Brooklyn. Thank you.

A query from Australia. My father, Franklin
Osborn came from
Minnesota
after WW2 and married an Aussie and stayed. His line is
fascinating.
His
grandmother, Nora Osborn(e) is directly descended from the
Thomas/Mary
Osborn
who first settled in New Haven, CT. Nora married a John
David Osborn in
Indiana before moving to MN. Tracing John D.(b.1858) to his
father,James H.(b.1830) in Ohio and further back his father
was James
O. who came from New Jersey and settled in Auglaize Co,
Ohio, probably
in the 1820s. James (b.1791)married an Elizabeth ?(b.1794)
in New
Jersey, but have no idea who his parents were. Any clues? I
have found
your website very informative.

BENJAMIN GOULD pre 1677-17??.
John Roe
sold 15 acres of land at Old Man's to John Franklyn in
1671. Benjamin Gould in turn, was buying some or all of the
same land
from J. Franklyn.
On Sept. 11, 1677, John Roe made a trade with
Benjamin
Gould--John would receive the land at Old Man's and Benjamin
would
receive 5 acres in Newtown and the promise of choice of 2
cows to be
delivered in May.
The name Benjamin Gould next appears as a
witness to Job
Smith's will in 1715, then as registering ear marks in 1724,
later as a
constable.(Smithtown)
The time range gives room for 2 Benjamins and
the fact that
my Joseph was born in 1723 Smithown leads me to believe they
are father
and son.
There appears a William Gould
that perhaps
can be a brother of Joseph.
My Joseph lineage came from a family Bible and
the above
information is all I have found before the Bible
information.
Any information about Benjamin and offspring
would be
greatly appreciated or any other connect, uncle, etc.

end)
were married in 1873 and resided in NYC. Did they have
children? Who

How or where can I find information and/or
photographs of a
carriage building establishment at 77 7th Street, Long
Island City
believed to have been in business at least through
the 1890's? John J. Murphy was listed in the 1892
Directory as
"carriage builder" and his son Thomas J. Murphy was
"blacksmith" at
least
certainly in 1893 when his daughter was born and "painter"
in 1899 when
he died. They worked and resided at 77 7th Street and
88 8th
Street.
The Stony Brook Carriage Museum has no record of the
carriages built by
"Murphys"...so did the business have some other name?

Hello folks,
I'm trying to link my Reed ancestor
to any family in colonial Long Island. He was a Loyalist who
fled with
his
family over land to Ontario in the 1780's, early stories
claim the
spring
of 1780, or 1781. His name was William Reed and his wife, at
least when
he
fled, was Nancy Nesbitt. He had 4 sons "grown", William
Jr.,John,
Samuel
and Solomon. They may have been married when they left,
spouses
surnames of
Etherly, Lake sisters and Dixon. The family also included 5
daughters,
Susan,
Elizabeth, Abigail, Nancy and Sarah. Samuel's obituary in
Ontario,
states
that he was born in Long Island but a lot of the info on
this family is
conflicting.
I would appreciate any clues anyone could give me as to how
the family
could
have lived in Long Island when William was traditionally
from
Connecticut,
somehow connected with the South Carolina Militia OR Prince
of Wales
Loyal
Regiment OR Butler's Rangers OR Delauncey's Brigade AND
"settled on the
banks
of the Delaware River!!"

I have an original document dated the 31st of
August 1771
that contains an inventory of the Estate of Benjamin
Birdsall witnessed
by his wife Martha and son Benjamin. Included are the
names of
Samuel Townsend, Peter Underhill, Isaac Ketcham, and several
others. The Estate includes servants, farm animals,
farm
equipment, and furniture. I believe this particular
Benjamin
Birdsall was born June 10th 1713 and died on the 20th of
August
1771. This is only speculation on my part. I
also believe
that there is an Oyster Bay connection. Any assistance

Eugene Kelly born in Brooklyn Aug. 1891 and Walter Kelly
