IPREFACE.
Thirty years of interesting study examining many and various town, county, State, church, family Bible, and other records (at all times taking notes), have enabled me to compile therefrom the within matter, which I hope will give as much pleasure to some of the other descendants of the early settlers of Long Island as the gathering of it has given me.
As “to err is human,” I must ask indulgence for errors, and offer to endeavor to correct them if brought to my notice.
Several pages in the fore part of the book are devoted to deeds, wills and records of the early Powells, with some accounts of the coming of the first Thomas, progenitor of all the rest.
The Powell genealogies follow in the order of the first Thomas. Then, Powell descendants of his oldest son; then, Powell descendants of his second oldest son ; then, Powell descendants of his third oldest son, and so on through the Powells.
Three of the children of Thomas Powell having married into the Willets family, I have deemed it proper that the genealogy of the Willets family should come next. Edmund Titus’ genealogy fol-6

lows; then, Henry Willis’ genealogy; then, Capt. John Seaman’s genealogy ; then, William Hallock’s genealogy; then, John Carman’s genealogy. All these were original settlers, and the first Thomas Powell’s children married into their families.
The other genealogies of old Long Island families follow in alphabetical order.
Lastly, the will of John James, the first town clerk of Hempstead, and some other interesting matter.

Last will and testament of Thomas Powell Sen late of Bethpage now of Westbury in the limits of Hempstead in Queens County on Nassau Island in the Colony of New York

Ancestry.
“We represent the hereditary influences of our race, and our ancestors virtually live in us.
“ The sentiment of ancestry seems to be inherent in human nature, especially in the more civilized races.
“ At all events we cannot help having a due regard for our forefathers. Our curiosity is stimulated by their immediate or indirect influence upon ourselves. It may be a generous enthusiasm or, as some might say, a harmless vanity, to take pride in the honor of their name.
“ The gifts of nature, however, are more valuable than those of fortune, and no line of ancestry however honorable, can absolve us from the duty of diligent application and perseverance or from the practice of the virtues of self control and self help.”
“ They haunt your breezy hillsides, and thundering floods ;
They linger by your gliding streams, and mid your moss draped woods;
They sit beside the green old graves; in shadow and in sheen, And move among your household gods, though voiceless and unseen.Records.
19
“ Then ye, who make your happy homes, where once their homes have been,
Deem also this your heritage, to keep their memories green ;
To shield within your heart of hearts, the glorious trust you hold, And bear unstained the names they bore, those brave, proud men of old.”
Thomas Powell (progenitor of all the Long Island Powells — most if not all of these in the State of New York — many in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Maryland — and some in the other States) was born in 8th month, 1641. The names of his parents and place of his birth do not appear to be on record in this country.
The various branches of his descendants claim that he came from Wales, and we have reason to believe that tradition is, in this case, correct.
In 1619 First Journal of House of Delegates for Virginia says Burgesses were chosen. William Powell for James City, George Yeardly Knight and Govenor of Virginia, and others.
A great-grand-daughter of Thomas Powell Ist of Bethpage, told her children that the Virginia Powells were relatives of the family.
The Court Records of Huntington Dated— 1662 first introduce him to our notice as giving written testimony in the suit of law, brought at that time against joanna Wood, widow of Jonas Wood Hal. Jonas Wood Hal was drowned when attempting to ford Peconic River near Riverhead, in 1660, consequently T. Powell was not more than 19 years old at the time of the transaction.

After relating the circumstances of the case Thomas Powell gave testimony in writing that, “ What was in my Master’s book—that particular about Master’s Good Wood and Good Higbie touching the six pipes of wine and three hhds of rum,— when it was writ my Master read it to him or them and asked if it was well, and one of them answered it was.

This appears to have been the first land purchased by T. P. although the Records show that he had a home and corn in 1662.
In 1667 Thomas Powell was Constable, John Todd, John Rogers Overseers, for Huntington, L. I.
Under the Duke’s Laws, promulgated when the English took possession in 1865, 8 Overseers were to be chosen the first year, to hold office 2 years, & 4 to be elected every two years afterwards, and a22
Records.
Constable was to be elected every year out of the Overseers of the previous year.
The Constable and Overseers managed the Town affairs, and had power to make orders & rules concerning fences, highways and similar matters. Constables were to attend Courts, and they had power to arrest, those who were overtaken with strong drink, or found swearing, or Sabbath breaking, Vagrants night walkers, provided taken in sight of Constable, or proven information from others or if in beer or disorderly places
“ Every Constable shall have a Staff six feet long with the Kings arms on it, as a badge of his authority ”
The Town Court had Jurisdiction of assault, Slander, and disorderly conduct generally, One offense was defined “ as giving false news and lying about another.” The penalty was a fine of 40 shilling if Paid ” if not paid to sit in the stock or be whipped 40 strokes and give satisfaction.
T. P. was then 26 years old.
Huntington Records show that Thomas Powell was frequently elected to fill important positions in the Township — the first of which appears to have been in 1663, when at the age of 22 he was made Recorder, this office he held most of the time for about 20 years.
In 1666 Thomas Powell, John James, James Chichester, Ebenezer Platt, Isaac Platt, Thomas Platt John Bailey & Jonas Wood; were Trustees of the Freeholders of the Town of Huntington, and their successors, and the Patent was issued in their names, on behalf of the Company.
1684 T. Powell and one of the others were sent to Gov Nichols, to obtain a pattent from him. TheseRecords.

patents were both at Huntington a few years since, probably are there still.
The court consisted of a Justice of the Peace (or in his absence) Constable and two Overseers.

The following is on record at Huntington 1670. Whereas, Henry Whitson of Huntington, deceased in the year 1669, and after the will was proved according to law, the estate being divided by order and consent of the widow of Henry, and Thomas Whitson son of deceased, and 2d Thomas Whitson being under age,—he with the consent of his Grandfather Foster and the rest of his friends have thought good to make choice of Thomas Powell of Huntington to be his Trustee and Guardian of him the said Thomas Whitson, for the care and supervision of the Estate of him the said Thomas Whitson until he accomplish the age of one and twenty years, during which time the aforesaid, Thomas Whitson doth promise not to bargain sell or alienate any of his Estate without the leave and consent of his said Guardian, but in all things expedient be subject to his advice and counsel,

Records.
In 1679. It was agreed that Thomas Powell and Thomas Whitson take in an addition to their land at Cow Harbor,
In 1689. Thomas Powell gave a deed jointly with Thomas and Martha Whitson for a piece of land in Huntington.
In 1700. Thomas Powell gave Thomas Whitson a Deed for one third of all his Bethpage purchase of land,—and they together built the two houses which were afterwards their homes, and the homes of their respective descendants, for many, many years. The places are both owned by descendants of T. Powell to this day—have never been out of the families.
In 1678 the Council ordered the Constable and Overseers of Huntington to distrain for Church and Ministers Rates, but the order does not appear to have been attended to for several years. T. P. was Overseer in 1681. Same year we find charged against him for Ministers Rates the follows sums, viz.:
1676. I.	T5-	OO.	1679. 1.	10.	09.

In 1692 he was ordered by a Writ from the King to appear at Court at Riverhead to show cause why this should not be taken from him per force. There does not appear to be any Rec. of a settlement of the claim in any manner, and it is thought that the Authorities let the case drop out of sight.
Meantime T. P. sold his property in Huntington and bought a large tract of wilderness, of the Marsa-paque Indians, called it Bethpage, took possession in 1688, built a house for his eldest son Thomas, (said house is now standing on the Bethpage turnpike, and has always been in possession of his des-Records.

The following is a copy of the boundaries of the two purchases, with the names and marks of Indians who made the sale.

1684 THOMAS POWELL for Huntington, THOMAS TOWNSEND for Oysterbay,
Chosen to settle the boundary between the Towns.
1688. T. P. Our Surveyor was still busy laying out lands for the Town. After this period he appears to have been more engaged with appointments in Friends meetings than in public business. He was evidently very useful as a member of the monthly meeting, held part of time at Jericho and part of the time at West-bury. The last mention of his name on the records were on this wise.— 28, i2m0 1721 Died Thomas Powell Sen’r being well respected as a worthy Friend, —and died in unity with Friends.
Thomas1 Powell divided two thirds of the land which he purchased of the Indians and named Beth-page between three of his sons, namely Thomas Powell the second, whose house is still standing on the Bethpage Turnpike. John Powell whose house was north of the pond.
The site is now known as the Mott Place and Elisha Powell, his place was north east of the Meeting house & Friends burial ground. The whole purchase covered an area of five miles from north toRecords.
2 7
south and about three and a half miles from east to west, of this Thomas Whitson had one third, not all lying together in one piece, but divided out in various different parcels & pieces.
In this way the homes of the different families as they became more numerous were scattered over the premises in all directions.
Of the other sons of T.1 P. it appears that Caleb, Jonas & Wait were settled in Huntington first, and that probably Jonas & Wait lived after a while in the neighborhood of Oysterbay & Jericho.
Solomon lived at Westbury.
In 1727. Friends Meetings were held once a month on first days at “Thomas Powell’s house.
In 1744. A meeting house was built, near where the present one stands.

3, 30, 1739. To the Monthly Meeting of Friends at Westbury:
Dear Friends — These lines may acquaint you that I am under concern of mind for my misstep in ye way that I was married.
Which was on this wise. I having made my application to her that is now my wife, not doubting but that we might come before the meeting and be allowed to pass the same, and having gone so far that we could not reverse our desires and being discouraged from making application to the preparative Meeting by some of the members thereof, did unadvisedly and without ve counsel and advice of Friends procure a license from the Governor and was married by a Justice of the Peace.
Which hasty and unadvised marriage, contrary to the practice and good order used and established amongst Friends I do condemn, and do desire that for the future I may walk more circumspectly.
From your friend,
RICHARD POWELL.
Richard Powell’s acknowledgment was acccepted by the Meeting, as satisfactory, and he remained a useful member of the Society the rest of his life.44	Powell Family.
Extract from the minutes of Westbury Monthly Meeting of Friends held in 1762-3.
“ In the matter of Henry Powell marrying out of the unity of his Friends, to his first cousin, which was again resumed and considered of, it appears to be the sense and judgment of the meeting that inasmuch as he was sufficiently treated with, in a dissuasive manner to desist from proceeding in marriage with his near kinswoman before marriage, and he hath not received the counsel and advice of Friends, but gone contrary to the rules of our Discipline, and left Friends. Therefore, he is disowned as a member in unity with us, until he is sensible that he has gone contrary to the order of Truth and condemns the same with sincerity of mind to the satisfaction of Friends.

Portions of land were also given to the single daughters for their homes, and the rest of his large land estate was ordered to be sold and the money divided amongst them all.
WAIT2 POWELL (Thomas1) m., had no children : His will proved 1750, made in 1746.
{Joseph Clement. Sarah Seaman. Samuel Willis.
Gave ^50 to Wait4 the minor son of his (cousin) Nephew. The Estate to Wait3 Powell jr., father of said minor.
1710, Nathaniel Seaman and Thomas Powell were appointed by Westbury Monthly Meeting of Friends to speak to Wait2 Powell and John Fry about their attending the marriages of two of their neices, Hannah and Mary Willets, daughters of Richard Willets, dec., said marriages were accomplished by the assistance of a Priest.
1724, Another Committee reported to the Monthly Meeting that they had spoken with Wait3 Powell about his marriage out of the order of Friends — also with his uncle Wait2 about assisting him in said marriage.64

Thus with no children of his own he, Wait2 Powell, seems to have been a convenient uncle to help other people’s children to have their own way.

RICHARD WILLETS, said to have come from the west of England, was at Hempstead, L. I., in 1657, probably he was there at a much earlier date, as he then had 6 gates, 6 cattle, 6 milch cows, and 28 acres of land. Only 12 men in the town paid more taxes for public charges than he did, and none paid twice as much. He died 1664 or 5.

1662. Richard Willets was chosen Townsman by vote.
24 day of March, 1666 or 7, widow Willets lately of Hempstead, now of Oyster bay, sells unto Joseph Williams of Hempstead, the home lot and housing next to the lot of Joseph Langdon on the north side of it, “said home lot and housing I did lately dwellWillets Family.	73

She joined the Society of Friends, became a. minister, had meetings at her house, suffered distraint of property at the hands of the Authorities on account of her nonpayment of Ministers’ and Church Rates.
The youngest son, Richard2 Willets, died at Jericho 14, 3 mo. 1703, his widow lived till 1757, “having seen her granddaughter’s grand child, and having her understanding and memory to admiration to the last.” Richard2 Willets and wife Abigail (nee Powell) were both active members of the Society of Friends, and great unanimity seems to have subsisted between the two widows, mother in law Mary and daughter in law Abigail in their long continued widowhood.

Tradition says that Peter1 Hallock came with twelve other heads of families to New Haven in 1640; same season crossed the sound and landed at Southold, Peter being the first to step on shore at a spot still called Hallock’s Neck. Also, that having bought a large tract of land of the Indians, he went back to England for his family. Wife was unwilling to come, but Peter promised to give her two daughters (by a former husband) considerable land, and the family all came over in two or three years; meantime the Indians had resold his land, and another party had possession. The records of this period are lost. In 1654, according to Southold records, Wm.2 Hallock was in possession of a large property there, and was quite a man of business in the town. He died in 1688 or 1689. Will makes his wife Margaret executrix. The children named in the will were :

E., at the time of the persecution in England. He betook himself under the protection of the Netherlands, in order that he may, according to Dutch Reformation, enjoy freedom of conscience, which he unexpectedly missed in New England.
In 1642. The Director granted and conveyed to him an absolute patent with manoral privileges. He added some families to his settlement, at Maspeth, L. I., in the course of a year, but the war breaking out, they were all driven off their lands, some were killed — and almost all they had was lost. They fled as all refugees did, to Manhattan, and Master Douthy was minister there. He was without means and his land was seized by the Director; Douthy appealed but the Director said there was no appeal, his decision must be final, and for his remarks, Doughty was sentenced to imprisonment 24 hours, and to pay 25 Guilders. The deed was for 6,666 acres of land, at Maspeth, from Gov. Keift. Col. Rec.

Tradition says that Nathaniel Merritt of Peeks-kill, being a Tory, (or shall we say Loyal to his King) his neighbors set upon him to do him harm, and that he took his little Jesse into a small boat and rowed for New York. The rebels sent word ahead, so that when he reached N. Y. a mob on the dock seized him and some cried string him up, but the Mayor hearing the cry, went to the mob and telling them he would shut him (N. M.) up they desisted from their rash purpose. The Mayor then put him in the prison, and sent the son home to his mother in Peekskill. How N. M. got away is not told, but we next find him gathering a Company together as Militia men in the Kings service on Long Island,
himself Captain, his son John a Corporal or---------.
Soon tradition comes in again, and says, the wife got a pass for herself and her son Jesse and joined her husband on L. I.; finding her husband about to fight against the Rebels, she said to him, “ I can live in a cave, or on bread and water, or even starve if need be, but this I cannot stand. Tradition or no tradition, he passed his Company over to another Captain and opened a store at Raynortown, neither he nor his son ever went into the battlefield, but after the war was over they deemed it safer for them to join the exiles, and they all went to what was then calledMerritt Family.
243
Nova Scotia, now New Brunswick. Frederickton the capitol of N. B. was then called St. Ann, Tradition also says that Nathaniel Merritt’s daughter Anne, wife of John Ogden, died on the way to N. S. and was buried at Sea.
Nathaniel Merritt was tax collector in North Castle, Westchester Co., in 1758, also engaged in the settlement of the Leases and Releases between Pierre VanCortland and Robert Gilbert Livingston.
The Lieut. Gov. and the Assembly appointed him to survey 4151 acres of land in 1760. He was constable of Cortland Manor from 1663 to 1666. In 1664 he surveyed a farm at Croton River in the tenure of Hicks Seaman, served as one of three arbitrators in a difference between J. McChain and Isaac Kronkhite, he was a merchant at Peekskill until 1776. In 1778 Loyalist in Long Island Capt. Nathaniel Merritt and his son John. In 1780 he had a store at Raynortown, L. I. Aug. 3, 1783, Captain Nathaniel Merritt’s Company left New York in the ship Cyrus and arrived at St John’s river the nth day of Sept. They were supplied with rations about 3 monrhs.
In 1784 he was negotiating with Zephania1 Kingsby for a store at Gage Town, N. Brunswick. N. B. was then separated from Nova Scotia, and Nathaniel Merritt’s Company settled in that province. All his sons, and his son-in-law John Ogden were in company with him in the store at Gage Town in 1785, and there are store accounts at Waterborough, Queens Co. New Brunswick as late as April 15, 1788, and others at Amityville, Queens Co., L. I. as early as June 13,
1788-
N. Merritt was Notary Public, Registrar, Surveyor and farmer as well as merchant during the five years244	Merritt Family.
that he was in N. B. In 1788 Thomas Wetmore was registrar and N. M. passed the Book of Records over to him on the 23d of February, sd book contained record of the deeds &c. from No. 1 to No. 132, of Queens Co., N. B. N. M. sold his real estate in Waterborough to John Leonard for the consideration of £200. It consisted of two lots Nos. 12 and 14 of Coll Spry’s grant on the St John river. May 1, 1789, N. and son Jesse Merritt were in partnership in two stores, one at Jerusalem in Obadiah Jackson’s house, remained there till 1793, and Jesse’s daughter Elisabeth, was born there, as may be proved by the store records. The other store was in Huntington Township. In the course of 1793 N. and Jesse Merritt bought 118 acres of land on Josiah’s Neck, and in 1794, John and Sarah Hewlett, and Charles and Martha Hewlett of Oysterbay, sold to them Mill &c. at Oysterbay, West Neck for over £200, but they soon dissolved partnership and Nathaniel went to Brooklyn, and opened a store and public house in 1696, his wife died 23, 11, 1800. In 1802 he was boarding at Henry Whitsons, in Bethpage, town of Oysterbay, L. I., he built a small shop there. Last record in his book Jan. 15, 1803, says put ^56, 14s, 6d, in Henry’s desk. He (N. M.) died at his son Jesse’s 17, 4, 1803, in Bethpage just across the street from Henry Whitson’s. His will was dated Dec. 19, 1800.
Jesse Merritt, son of the above, born at Peekskill, 20, 2, 1769, was with his father on L. I. in 1781 when £t,i 15s, 6d, was paid for his schooling. The home was then at Raynortown, (now 1888, Freeport) he (J. M.) next appears as one of the company on board the Cyrus, bound for St Johns river.
1785. Feb. 10, although 10 days less than 19 years old, he (J. M.) came into possession of lot No.Merrilt Family.	245
12, of Coll Spry’s grant, which lot he afterward sold to his father. In Sept. 1785 he was in partnership with his father in the store in Waterborough Township, Queens Co. New Brunswick.
April 17, 1787.
This certifies whom it may concern, that Mr. Jesse Merritt, Deputy Surveyor, has attended my office for some time to qualify himself as a Deputy Surveyor, having before studied the theory of that business, and I do on a strict examination find him qualified in all respects to execute that duty.
GEO. SPROULE,
Surveyor General.
Surveyor General’s Office, St John.
There is an Acc’t of Records and papers delivered by Mr. Jesse Merritt (Deputy Clerk to James Cluert Esq.) clerk of Thomas Wetmore, Esq. the present clerk of Queens County, the eighth day of Oct. 1787.
1 st the charter of Queens Co.
2d and 3d Deeds, &c., &c., &c.
Jesse Merritt requested and became a member of Jericho Monthly Meeting of Friends in 1788. He was married (by Friends ceremony the 6 of 5, 1789, at Bethpage) to Mary Cornelius, dau. of John and Mary (Powell). A warm friend of Elias Hicks he went with him as companion, on his very trying journey through the then far West in 1828. They traveled with their own conveyance over mountains and through wildernesses in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indiana, taking six months for the trip. They held and attended many meetings, and his account of the246
Merritt Family.
opposition they met with is interesting, but sad. Besides his meeting business of which he did much, his store, farm and surveying business he was very useful in the neighborhood, being often called upon to write Wills, Deeds, &c. and to execute many kinds of offices necessary in the care of people’s property.
His wife died 9, 11, 1840.
He died 30, 3, 1843.
In 1794. The partnership of Jesse Merritt with his father was dissolved, Jesse having become a strict Friend could not longer sell intoxicating liquor. An auction disposed of the goods, and he (J. M.) purchased the place of his father-in-law at Bethpage and thenceforth he and his family lived under the same roof with his father and mother-in-law, taking care of them in their old age, and making additions and improvements to the property until they died; he in 1814, and she in 1826.
Jesse and wife occupied the place during their lives, and transmitted it to their only son John C. Merritt, who has deeded it to his youngest son John C Jr.
This property was purchased of the Indians by a Friend in 1695, as per deed which says he has had possession 7 years. A house was built in 1700, on the site occupied by the present one, and many friends have enjoyed the hospitality of the several occupants, none of whom gave friends a warmer welcome than Jesse Merritt.

Francis Weeks was at Dorchester, Massachusetts, in 1636. When John Smith (Miller) was banished with Roger Williams, he asked to be allowed to take a boy named Francis Weeks with him, to Providence. The boy went and was allowed to join the 14 settlers, and signed the agreement, some time later, when he became of age. In 1657, he was on Long Island with his wife Elisabeth (Luther) and some children.

In 1640. Mary Williams, widow of Thomas1 lived north side of the plains ; a memorial of her by Clement Willets says, “she was a worthy woman and justly deserves our grateful remembrance, to me she was like a mother — and not to me only, but to many of328
Williams Family.
her poor neighbors also, who felt the benefit of her bountiful hand. She was very careful not to let her left hand know what her right hand did.”
The original deed from the Indians to Robert Williams for the Plains in Oysterbay, was executed on the 20 of May, 1648.
Robert appears to have resided a part of the time in Hempstead, was living there in 1659. The Indian Deed for Oysterbay was executed in 1653 to Robert Williams and others, he was one of the patentees of Dosori’s, O. B. in 1668. Some accounts sav that he was born in Wales, and was a brother of Richard Williams, of Huntington, and a near relative of Roger Williams, of R. I., all of which may be true; I have not seen any of it verified, suffice it he was our Ancestor, and disposed of 1-3 of his property in Jericho to his wife’s sister, Mary (Washburne), widow of Richard Willets ; in 1667 — thus paving the way for many pleasant Ancestral homes in that vicinity.

When Lyon Gardiner came from Saybrooke Fort, to L. I., in 1638, he was the first settler .within the present bounds of Easthampton, and his settlement of Gardiner’s Island in 1639 was the first English settlement in what is since the State of New York, being one year anterior to the settlements, at South-old and Southampton.
Lyon Gardiner wrote in his Bible :
“In the year 1635, July 10, came I, Lion Gardiner, and my wife, Mary, from Worden, a town in Holland, where my wife was born, being the daughter of one, Derike Willemson, Deurant, her mothers name was Hackin, and her aunt, sister of her mother, was the wife of Wouter Leonardson, old burgomaster. We came from Worden, to London, and from there to New England, and dwelt at Saybrooke Fort, 4 years, it is at the mouth of the Connecticut river, of which I was Commander; and there was born to me a son named David, 1636, the 29th of April, the first born in that place, and in 1638, a daughter was born to me, called Mary, the 30th, of August; and then I went to an Island of mine own, which I bought of the Indians, called by them Mannehonake, by us, the Isle of Wight, and there was born another daughter, named Elisabeth, the 14th of September, 1641, she being the first child of English parents, that was born there.”Gardiner Family.	337

In the Spring of 1640, a company of dissatisfied and restless men, who had been in Wethersfield, Conn, about 6 years, having sought in vain to end contentions there; looked about for a place to remove with their minister, Rev. Mr. Denton. He had been a minister, in Halifax, England.
New Haven people bought Rippowams or Stamford of the Indians, and offered it to the Wethersfield people on certain conditions.
Twenty-nine men agreed while at Wethersfield, to begin the settlement, others came in later. These people are spoken of as part of Capt. Mason’s 500, who came to New Hampshire, in 1631-3.
In 1636, there were Articles of agreement between the Governor of Manhattan, and the Indians on Nassau Island, relating to, and extending over that part which was afterwards settled under the name of Hempstead.
In 1643, John Carman and Robert Fordham made the first purchase of the Indians, for themselves and others. In 1644, Gov. Kieft issued a patent, Bearing Date the 16th day of November, 1644.
Thomas1 Gildersleeve, father of Richard2 came to L. I., in 1664. They both sent in their allegiance to Connecticut Colony.

Powells (Boughton Moncheusy, Co. Kent, Ednop Newtown), descended from Ethelystan, Glodrydd, Prince of Ferlys, of this family was Richard Powell, of Ednor, author of the Pentarchia, a short History of the Royal Tribes of Wales and their descendants, written in 1623. Sir Nathaniel Powell, of Ewherst, and H. was son of Meredith Powell, and grandson of John Ap Howell of Ednop.
In 1623, living in Virginia on the eastern shore, Thomas Powell and wife Gody.
In 1626, patent granted to Capt. Nathaniel Powell and nine others, Land on the northerly side of the James river.
His share was 600 acres.
In 1626, patent granted to Capt. William Powell and others in the territory of Tappahanna over, against James Ciltie. His share was 750 acres.
In 1635, July 24. From London to Virginia in the ship “Assurance,” Samuel Powell, aged 19 years, and Elisabeth Powell, aged 17 years.
In 1635, a warrant from the Earl of Carlilse, sent Thomas Powell, to Barbadoes or Virginia.
In 1635, In the Brig “ Matthews,” from London to Virginia, Thomas Powell, aged 21 years, and in June, in the “ Thomas,” James Powell, aged 12 years.NEW HAVEN THOMAS POWELL.
From 1638 to 1681, there was a Thomas Powell living in New Haven with wife named Priscilla. They were members of the first Church there, and we find by the Church Records, and his Will dated 1681, that they had five children, viz : (he d. 1681.) Hannah b. 1641, baptised 1643. m. 1661, Thomas Tuttle, she d. 1710.
Priscilla b. 1642, baptised 1644, m. 1666, John Thompson.
Mary b. 1645, m. 1669, Ephraim Sandford, of Milford.
Martha b. 1651, died early.
Esther b. 1653, died early.
No connexion has been traced between these New Haven Powells and our first Thomas Powell, of Long Island, and the subject would not have been alluded to, if Thompson’s History of L. I. had not suggested that he, of Newhaven, was identical with the L. I. Thomas Powell,— and we should not have gone to N. H. to search for a possible father of our Thomas.
