| 1001 | That Audrey Frick was a daughter of Robert Wesley and Hazel Pinches Frick is inferred from the placement of her gravestone at the Oaklawn cemetery. | Frick, Audrey ^ (I15945)
|
| 1002 | That Catherine Rose was Joseph Terry's wife was tenuously arrived at in the follow manner: -- An 1805 deed of sale to Richard Corwin of a farm in Brookhaven Hamlet, NY indicating that the northern boundary of the parcel was the former Parsonage Lands owned by Joseph Terry, deceased. -- The Terry genealogy at http://longislandsurnames.com indicates that Joseph Terry's wife's surname was Rose, no first name. -- An article in the Patchogue Advance, 4 April 1946 indicates that Robert Ellison purchased the Parsonage Lands in 1805 from a "group of persons evidently representing the South Haven Presbyterian Church." This assumption was in error as the church would not have owned the property in 1805; instead they were likely Joseph Terry's heirs. They were : "Catherine Terry, Elisabeth Corbet, Julianer Rose, Barnabas Rider and his wife Desire Rider." -- Catherine Terry, being first listed, was likely Joseph Terry's widow. The longislandsurnames.com genealogy does not indicate that Joseph had a daughter Catherine, but does record daughters Elizabeth, Julia, and Desire still living in 1805. Since the note above was first posted, two family trees at Ancestry.com indicate that Catherine Rose was Joseph Terry's wife. | Rose, Catherine ^ (I17064)

| 1011 | The 1840 U.S. census enumeration was the earliest indication of a "Seaman" living in Fire Place, Town of Brookhaven—Abraham Seaman family. U.S. census records from 1790 forward were examined, including the indexes for the Town of Brookhaven, and the detailed enumeration records of the area between Bellport and Mastic, and no Seaman, or possible alternate spellings of the name, were found, either in the indexes for the entire town, or the examined detailed pages for the area of Fire Place. (While the enumeration pages did not themselves define the area, the examined pages were selected based on names of families known to have been residents of the area.) Two separate census data sources were examined—Ancestry.com and HeritageQuest.com. Although Bigelow and Morse indicated that the Seaman family first settled in Fire Place as early as 1779, this conclusion is not supported by the census record. If there were Seamans in the Town of Brookhaven earlier than 1830-40, it seems unlikely that they would have escaped being enumerated for five decades. It should be noted however that the Long Island Genealogies database indicates that Jonathan Seaman died in "Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY." and that all Jonathan's children and his grandchildren of the line of interest here were said to have been born in "Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY," referencing "The Clock Family Bible," (Suffolk County Historical Society Register, Vol. XV, No.2, 1989, pg.43-48). This source has been examined and makes no mention to their birth places. If the present family structure is correct, then Jonathan Seaman is a nephew to Samuel Carman, Sr. of South Haven—Samuel Carman's sister was Jonathan Seaman's mother—Sarah Carman. Both the siblings Samuel and Sarah Carman were of Hempstead, NY. | Seaman, Jonathan (i) > (I3446)

| 1020 | The following brief biography is from the website Tigertail Virtual Museum (24 Nov 2008): Born and raised until age seven in Brooklyn, New York and then in Bellport, Long Island in upper middle class surroundings. His mother is of Cuban/Spanish extraction; his father is Anglo-American. The family is a church going Episcopalian family. In his early teens George takes art lessons from the painter Malcolm Frazier, a friend of his mother, and then he attends Phillips Academy, a prep school, in Andover, Mass. in preparation for college. He doesn't really want to go to college -- he wants to go to art school, but the family insists on a college education. He goes to Harvard University where he studies English Literature, but spends much of his time doing what he wants to do: painting with his roommate, Francis Faust. At the beginning of the Second World War his family expects him to enlist in the services, so he does. During boot camp he is found to be medically unfit and discharged with ulcerative colitis. He is subsequently drafted, and again he is found medically unqualified. During the war he studies at the Art Students League in New York City, and in 1943 with Reginald Marsh. He also studies with Kenneth Hayes Miller and Harry Sternberg. Tooker stops attending church when he begins art school. However religion remains a major influence on his art. In 1946, he becomes both the student and a close friend of Paul Cadmus. Cadmus encourages Tooker to work with tempera rather than the transparent wash technique taught by Marsh. Tooker adopts a method of using egg yolk thickened slightly with water and then adding powdered pigment, a medium that is quick drying, tedious to apply, and hard to change once applied. In 1949 he travels for several months in France and Italy with Paul Cadmus looking at art. In the early 50s he moves to New York; there Tooker finds his life partner, another artist -- William Christopher (1924-1974). Bill and George share a loft in Chelsea; in 1953 after a fire in an adjoining lumber yard, they move to Brooklyn Heights and renovate a brownstone. They support themselves by making and selling furniture. In 1951 George has his first one-man exhibition at the Edwin Hewitt Gallery in New York . In 1960, George and his life partner, Bill Christopher, move to Vermont. They buy a barn in White River Junction and move it to their home site in Hartland. They cut the Barn down quite a bit and then add on additional rooms. In the 60s Bill teaches in the fine arts department of Dartmouth University. George teaches at the Art Students League in New York. Both come to Vermont on weekends. They commute mostly by rail. In 1968 they decide to live half a year in Malaga, Spain and half a year in Vermont. Bill finds the winters in Vermont difficult. So he stops teaching at Dartmouth and they both go to Spain for the winters. They plan to move there permanently. In 1973 Bill Christopher dies in Spain. George returns to the Vermont house. In succeeding years he occasionally visits their place in Spain. But eventually, he gives up going to Spain at all. His paintings are now focused more on introspection and have lost much of the sexual tension of his work in the forties and the social commentary of his work in the fifties. The years after Bill's death he finds difficult and leave him in emotional turmoil. He response he turns, in part, to the Catholic church, and he converts from Episcopalian to Roman Catholic. He paints pictures for the St. Francis of Assisi Church in Windsor, Vermont. These include a series for the stations of the cross and an altarpiece . George Tooker still lives and works in rural Vermont. | Tooker, George Clair Jr. ^ (I9309)

| 1030 | The New York Genealogical and biographical Record:To distinguish him from an older David Hait in the area, this David was known as "David Hait Jr.," until 1762, when the elder died, and afterwards as "David Hait Sen". He was also known as "Captain David Hait".In November 1759 the General Assembly of Connecticut appointed David "Hoit" to be a lieutenant of "the military company in the parish of Stanwich." In May 1773 he was appointed "Captain of the company or trainband in the society of Stanwich in the ninth regiment in this Colony." He continued in this role as the revolutionary War began. As shown below, David's sons Aaron and Frederick and his son-in-law Gideon Palmer also served in the 9th Regiment, Frederick in his father's company, but Aaron and Gideon in Captain Smith's. Captain David Hait's company of Col. Mead's 9th regiment marched to New York City 13 August 1776. David requested permission to return home to Connecticut several days after arriving in New York. He said that his wife had died, leaving his family "in Difficult Circumstances." He left his unit believing he had such permission, but was returned as a deserter.In May 1777, a committee of the Connecticut General Assembly recommended that "David Hait Junr. of Stamford Capt: of a Military Company in sd. Town...ought to be sent for to appear before this Assembly to answer to the...Allegations against (him)." He stood before the committee 1 October 1777, and after hearing his explanation, the General Assembly ordered that Hait "pay the Cost arisen in the premises allowd. to be two pounds, one shilling & six pence cash...that Exn. issue against them...for the same."He ma be the private David Hait on a company pay roll dated 1779 in Stamford, serving 26-27 February under Captain Reuben Scofield in Mead's 9th Regiment, and on a company pay roll, serving 18 June to 18 July (year not stated) under Captain Reuben Scofield, in the 9th regiment commanded by John Mead. There are other younger David Haits in the area, but this could be the former Captain David Hait, stripped of his rank.On 3 May 1783 fifty-four "inhabitants of Stamford & Greenwich, within Stanwich Society, in sd State" signed a petition to the General Assembly asking for relief from taxes. they claimed they had suffered losses from "expos(ure) to the continual inroads of the Refugees station'd at Westchester." Among the signers were David Haut and his so Frederick Hait, as well as known neighbors and associates of the Haits: William White, Jacob White, John Todd, John Mackay (a witness to David's will), Jonathan Waring, and Benjamin Brush.On 18 May 1784 David purchased a tract of confiscated land...Sylvanus Hait, David's younger brother, was a Loyalist in the Revolutionary War and moved to New Brunswick, Canada, in 1785, where he received a land grant. the confiscation of his estate and that of another brother, James, were recorded among the probate records of Stamford.

| 1031 | The Ormond reference records erroneously: "The tradition of political liberalism is a long one in the Fraser family. Malcolm Fraser’s fifth great-grandfather, Simon Fraser (c. 1668-1747), Twelfth Lord of Lovat is referred to in English histories as "The Jacobite Fox." He was imprisoned for his political views at the age of thirteen, and at sixteen joined the insurrection in favor of King James. He was impeached for high treason for his activities in furthering the lost cause of the Stuarts. At the age of seventy-eight, he was beheaded in the Tower of London, and it is recorded that he was the last man to be the victim of this cruel form of capital punishment." Marie Fraser of the Clan Fraser Society of Canada notes there are "discrepancies in the inventive ancestral connection of Malcolm Fraser to Simon Fraser Lord Lovat [Malcolm's claimed 5th great grandfather], whose eldest son Simon (1726-82) married in 1765, without issue; or his youngest son Archibald (1736-1815) who also left no legitimate surviving male issue." | Fraser, John (I5441)

| 1032 | THE PLAIN DEALER January 16, 2000 By Evelyn Theiss; Plain Dealer Reporter From her Bratenahl Place apartment with its view of brown-gray treetops and an even grayer Lake Erie, Louise "Ligi" Ireland recounts how, as a 19-year-old summering in the south of France, she had to fend off an amorous Harpo Marx. "Someone introduced us and he was very nice and asked me to dinner," she said. "I thought we'd have a lovely talk about the movie world. But as soon as dinner was over, he pounced on me. "I ran, but he ran after me - he gave me some exercise!" She never did end up meeting his brothers. Ireland, 94 - "I've never lied about my age, I'm proud of it" - has many such anecdotes about a life that took her from a childhood in Rome and Washington, D.C., to Paris and New York, where she crossed paths with some of the most prominentle of the century. Her secretary, Suzanne Koporc, began hearing the lively tales in 1993 after she started working for the woman everyone calls "Ligi.” "We started writing them down," Koporc said. When Ireland's three children would come to visit from their of-state homes, Koporc would share the stories. "So many times they'd say, 'I hadn't heard that!' she said. Soon, Koporc transferred Ireland's longhand notes to a computer. Ireland and Koporc continued to work together and the result is a self-published book called "Ligi: A Life in the Twentieth Century.” It is available at Apple tree Books in Cleveland Heights for $28. Names tell the story "Ligi" is the acronym based nickname of Louise Ireland Grimes Ireland, who was born into the Ireland family in 1904 in Bar Harbor, Maine. Louise Ireland married Charles Grimes, a prominent lawyer who in the 1930s worked with special proser Thomas Dewey, the future Republican presidential nominee, to bust New York City's rackets. Ten years after Grimes' death in 1957, his widow renewed her acquaintance with her cousin R. Livingston "Liv" Ireland of Cleveland. The two enchanted each other and six months later, because Ohio did not allow marriages between first cousins, they married in Washington, D.C. Liv died in 1981. By then, Ligi Ireland loved Cleveland and decided to stay. That is a bare-bones synopsis of her life; her book fleshes out the details. Having outlived her peers, the polite yet earthy Ireland feels free to share her opinions about some of her famous acquaintances. Such as Benjamin Spock, the famed baby doctor turned author and peace activist, whom Ireland met when he was a medical student in New York. Spock married Ireland's school chum, Jane Cheney. "On Sundays, the medical students' only day off, he would invite us to his apartment and turn on the phonograph. He used to swing his partners around so fast we were practically thrown out the windows.” Ireland had an inkling that Spock wouecome an acclaimed physician. "He extended his studies more than other medical students," she said. "He was very interested in psychology, in what happened to the emotions, as well as in medicine." Ireland's children were two of Spock's first pediatric patients. Later, Ireland recalled, "He got famous and divorced his wife and married a woman half his age.” Spock, who in the 1960s taught at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, crossed paths with Ireland once in Cleveland. "By then hd become very stuck up," Ireland said. Louise Ireland's childhood was unconventional, considering the privileged family into which she was born. Her ancestors include William Floyd, a signer of the Declaration of Independence, and James Duane, New York City's first mayor. Louise's mother, Arline, divorced her husband, Jack Ireland, while she was pregnant. Since divorce was considered shameful in New York's Victorian society, Arline took her infant daughter to Italy, where they lived in Rome. They spent sus in Maine. They also traveled Europe. When Louise was about 10, Arline introduced her daughter to Paris fashion. "I remember the fashion showings in the salons of the famous couturiers - Channel, Worth and Lanvin. I'd sit with the other ladies andh the parade of beautiful clothes," Ireland said. Arline bought outfits for herself and her daughter. "Then I'd wear three or four dresses on top of each other when we went through U.S. customs," Ireland said. Returning to America When World War I erupted, Arline sold her villa to Guglielmo Macroni, inventor of the wireless. Some of the fine Italian antiques she took with her are in Ireland's Bratenahl apartment today - gilt-edged mirrors, an ornately carved sideb. A life-size portrait of Arline and her sister Jessica, painted by a Florentine master in their villa's music room, hangs in the entry. Mother and daughter moved to Washington, D.C., where one of Ireland's good friends was Felicia Patterson Gizycka, daughter of newspaper publisher Cissy Patterson and later, the wife of Washington columnist Drew Pearson. Another good friend was Rosamond Pinchot, a "great beauty" who became a Hollywood actress. Then there was the train ride from Paris to Nice that Ireland, then in her 20s, shared with companions Tallulah Bankhead - "a very naughty woman" - and three of her girlfriends. Ireland writes that she cut the trip short after another frienld her, "Wake up! You are staying with the most notorious group of lesbians in this part of the world." Her life was not all parties and travel. While in her 20s, Ireland worked as a volunteer for birth control advocate Margaret Sanger. "I was very impressed with her, both as a person and as a pioneer for birth control and women's rights - cs I came to believe in and have supported all of my life," Ireland said. In her 40s, Ireland - who had studied at the Sorbonne and at Barnard College and developed a keen interest in early childhood education - co-authored two books on child psychology and parenting. "Before Dr. Spock wrote his book," she notesh a smile. If there was a common theme in Ligi Ireland's life, it was her taste for travel and adventure. "You were in your 60s when you learned to scuba dive," Koori reminds her. Today, Ireland confines her travels to visits with her children; she stays current on world events, though, and tracks them at a map table in her living room. Wearing a sea-blue sweater with red and yellow fish embroidered on it, Ireland reminisces about how she loved the sea, and sailing Liv's boat the "Pandora IV" down to the Bahamas. Mention of the Bahamas triggers her memory of performing what she calls one of her "parlor tricks" - standing on her head, no matter the setting. "I remember I did that on a dock there," she said, after Liv dared her to show up a brawny sr who was flexing his muscles. "Not very refined, I know, but I never thought about what other people would think," Ireland said. "My whole life, I just always wanted to have fun." | Ireland, Louise Davis (I5512)

| 1033 | The present Charles C. Carman is occasionally confused with Charles Justus Carman of the adjacent hamlet of Fire Place (now Brookhaven, NY). Charles Justus Carman was a 5x cousin, once removed, from Charles C. Carman. The confusion may have arisen because of a photograph of a house with an unidentified couple in front, labeled C. C. Carman on the back, in a collection of photographs of the Post Morrow Foundation, Brookhaven, NY. This led to a supposition that C.C. Carman was perhaps a local resident. No evidence has been found, however, that Charles C. Carman ever resided in Brookhaven. Charles C. Carman has not been definitely found in any census after 1850. In 1850, he was a hotel keeper in Brooklyn. His sister, Emeline Carman did marry South Haven resident Gilbert Miller. Gilbert was a nearby neighbor of hotel keeper Samual Carman, Jr., and may have himself operated a small hotel. It is perhaps through this connection that Emeline Carman came to meet Gilbert Miller. | Carman, Charles C. (I6917)
|
| 1034 | The present Samuel Carman is occasionally confused with Samuel Carman, Sr. of South Haven, NY (or his son Samuel Carman, Jr.) They are actually 4x cousins. This Samuel Carman is believed to have resided in Hempstead and perhaps Brooklyn. However, his daughter Emeline did marry Gilbert Miller who was Samuel Carman, Jr.'s neighbor across South Country road from the South Haven Carman's homestead, hotel and mills. | Carman, Samuel [ii] > (I6902)

| 1035 | The record is unclear as Dorothy Woodhull's husbands. Mary Gould Woodhull and Francis Bowes Stevens in the Woodhull Genealogy: The Woodhull Family in England and America unambiguously records her husband as Thomas Helme. Others, including William S. Pelletreau in Historic Homes and Institutions and Genealogical and Family History of New York, Vol. 2, unambiguously record that her husband was Job Smith. The latter attribution seems the more common, but not necessarily more accurate. Since this family is fairly remote from my primary area of interest, I will leave it to others to sort out. -- MERGED NOTE ------------ 11. DOROTHY WOODHULL, 3rd generation, born (???), was the eldest daughter and fifth child of the Hon. Richard Wodhull (II.), and Temperance Fordham. She married William Helme, son of Thomas Helme (who was a resident of Brookhaven, Long Island, from 1675 to 1703). (See Genealogical Appendix, Note O.) Children (Three): (1.) Phineas Helme, married Mary Moffatt, of Blooming Grove, Orange Co., New York. They had seven children: (2.) A son, name unknown, who was a trader between New York City and the West Indies. He was taken prisoner during the Revolution, and died in an English prison. (3.) William Helme, Sr., married and had three sons: William Helme, Jr., who was a Captain of the Virginia Continental Line. | Woodhull, Dorothy > (I7325)

| 1037 | The Rev. John Youngs "gathered his flock and founded the Town of Southold, L.I." (Alvin R. L. Smith). It appears, however, that most of the flock did not come directly from England (although a few were likely acquittances or friends from Southwold), but joined with him after his arrival in Salem, MA. Southold (on the north fork of eastern Long Island), along with Southampton (on the south fork of eastern Long Island), were the first English settlements in New York State. Both were founded in 1640 by English Puritans. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Which Wife/Mother to Which Children? - An analysis by Norris Taylor It seems that the mothers of the children of John Youngs are not as clear cut as Selah Youngs assertions in his genealogy: The Youngs Family (1907). Here is my analysis of the Youngs children: John and Thomas are most definitely from the first wife, as their baptisms are recorded in 1625 in Southwold, England. (They, and no other grandchildren, are also mentioned in their grandfather's will made on November 21, 1625. They were given silver spoons.) Joseph was mentioned in the ship manifest. Selah Youngs says, pg 51, that he was called Jr. in Southold records to distinguish him from his cousin, Joseph Youngs, son of Joseph Youngs, and therefore was born after Jan 1633/34 (and before the migration in 1637). He thus appears to be likely from the second wife. Rachel and Mary are mentioned in the ship manifest. The mother of these two is in doubt. The first wife (Joan Herrington) certainly had time, if she died close to, or after, 1630, to have had more children than John and Thomas. If she didn't die until, say 1635, she may be the mother to Rachel and Mary, as well as Joseph. If she died in the 1620's, however and John remarried the second Joan (Harris), in 1630, there could be enough time (up to 1637) for Joan Harris to be the mother of these three. Mary Youngs Notes: Mary (Warren) Youngs refers to "Mary Yongs" as "my daughter" in her will of 1678. This apparently refers to Mary Warren's daughter from a previous marriage, Mary Gardiner, who married her step-son, John Youngs, ie Mary (Gardiner) Youngs. The 'Marey' of the ship's list appears to be "Mary", wife of Edward Petty and died in 1671 before Mary Warren made her will in 1678. Christopher: Selah Youngs concluded that Christopher Youngs was from the third wife, Mary Warren, and since he was not referred to in his grandfather's will of 1641 (Thomas Warren), concludes he was born in 1642. He apparently makes this conclusion because of her reference to Benjamin as her "eldest son" by her last husband. She referred to John Youngs as "eldest son of my said husband" and Christopher as "son of my said husband". He is apparently making this conclusion based on the word "eldest" in the phrase "eldest son" in referring to Benjamin, therefore concluding Mary must have had more than one son, and that only leaves Christopher as all other known sons are accounted for. However, I believe this is not conclusive. It is clear from the will that she was distinguishing her "children" by John Youngs from other "children" of John Youngs from other wives. She twice called Benjamin "my son" and once referred to John as "ye eldest son of my said husband". She referred to Christopher as "son of my said husband". If Christopher is not from Mary Warren, he is surely a son of second wife, Joan Harris. He is not on the ship's list of 1637 and therefore can't be from the first Joan, ie Joan Herrington. So, it appears there are two options, born 1637-1639 to Joan Harris, or born after 1642 to Mary Warren. The evidence that I am aware of doesn't seem to support one assertion over another. Perhaps there is a clue in the will or other records of siblings. Benjamin: He is clearly from Mary Warren. She says in her 1678 will: "my eldest son" and in another place "ordain the said Benj Youngs my son, sole executor...." Additionally, Benjamin is referred to as a grandson in Thomas Warren's will of 1641. Anne: The ship's manifest includes the names of six children, one of which is Ann. Selah Youngs does not include an Ann in the list of children for John Youngs, but, in a footnote on pg 40, describes the relationship of Anna (Palgrave) Woodbury, as his second wife's daughter. This must be who that Ann is. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- | Youngs, Reverand John > (I1147)

| 1044 | The Verspoor Branch Note 14 Leendert and Dinah DeKoning Verspoor came to the United States in 1851, settling in Sayville with their three small children when he was 37 and she 28. A fourth child was born in this country but died as an infant. Dinah is the great grandmother of my early childhood (BOT). I have a dim memory of an old lady, all in black, in a wheel chair (broken hip). Her mother died when she was a child, and she had a"cruel stepmother,,, so that the girl had to work on her father's boat. However, upon her father's death in 1854, shortly after they came to America, she inherited some property, and Leendert went back to Holland to claim it. This was probably the source of the family's Dutch jewelry. On his return, Leendert brought Dinah a Paisley shawl, which I had made into an evening coat about 1935, and still have. Leendert Verspoor is the man to whom the Dutch documents and medal pertain. In a bad winter storm on January 26, 1844 the merchant frigate DeZeeuw foundered in the rough seas at the mouth of the 8cheldte river. Leendert volunteered to take out his father's boat to attempt a rescue if the village poeple of Bruinisse would make him a crew. The rescue of sixteen people was successful, and in the ensuing months Leendert received two citations, some money, and a silver medal. Translations of the two citations and the medal are attached. Louis L. Otto has the citations, the medal, and a picture made to show the event. When the Verspoors settled in Sayville in 1851 they lived for a time in a part of the house owned by J, Wilson, located on the north side of Main Street just east of West Brook (now Greene's River). After Leendert returned from his trip to Holland to collect Dinah's small inheritance, they bought the house on Candee Avenue, next to Charles Radnor, ~here they lived cut their lives. This house was on the west side of the street, about opposite the office of the Suffolk County News. Leendert and Dinah Verspoor were charter members of the Dutch Reformed Church in West Sayville, organized in 1560. Note 1 The family of Ida and Sylvenus Titus James. Cousin Ida and Cousin Vene James lived on Roosevelt Avenue in Sayville. Of their children, Helen was a nurse, Irene James taught grade school in one of the south shore towns. Frederick, their eldest child and only son, lived in Port Washington and worked in New York City. I knew his family, and especially his daughter Edith, who graduated from Goucher in 1 940. Her husband was a Navy Man. Ethel James married an Englishman, they lived much of their lives in Hong Kong. Their children went to school in England, shere their grandmother, Mrs. Frederick James, lived with them after her husband's death. For a couple of years before ~is death, Vene James w~s a clsm~ming partner to Louis A. Otto on the south bay. Mush of his life was spent as hired Captain on the private yachts of familie~ on Long Island. Note 16 Hannah Verspoor Hiddink. John and Hannah Verspoor Hiddink had no children of their own, but they brought up her nmece Ida Verspoor, whose mother died when she WaS a small uhild. Judging by a photograph, Hannah was a beautiful young woman. She measured time as '~efore John died", and "after John died". She lived out her days in their home on North Main Street in Sa~ville, maintad~g everything as it had been "when John died". She rented out the tenant farm houses and the farm land, which extended to Lincoln Avenue and Hiddink Street. She always kept a large flower garden, with an enormous rain barrel from which water was scooped for the garden. The large old barn, sheds, etc., were maintained much as John had left them. I remember a large wooden squirrel cage (unoccupied) on her special sun porch v~ere her plants wintered in pots spread out along bleacher like shelves. There was a sitting room ~th horsehair sofas and a cheery nickel-plated iron parlor stove. We went often to her house for an afternoon call and tea. The front parlor was never entered except on state ocassions. There were one or two rooms upstairs, and a large porch, on the roof of which stood a large model of the house, itself used by the birds and the bees. Aunt Hannah died at age 92, spry and healthy to within a few months of her death, when she became feeble. She outlived all of her friends and much of her immediate family. When she became lonely or depressed she ~nt to the nearby cemetery to visit with her friends, returning cheered and at peace again. Her house was full of what would now be termed ,,antiques". The "Brown Girls" two elderly daughters of old friends, sought to profit on these, offering to buy some of the old china. Aunt Hannah did sell them "a worthless "pitcher with a chipped s~out for $2.50, but she had to paV Gerbers store $4.00 for a whole new one to replace it. She never sold anything els e. Translation of the documents accompanying the medal awarded to Leendert Verspoor 2 7 for his heroism on January 26, 18~4. Je Naintiendrai (This is the royal motto, in French) Ministry of Home Affairs The Minister of Home Affairs, as authorized by His Majesty the King, declares His approval and His appreciation in regard to the courageous and humane behavior of Leendert Vetspoor of Bruinisse, when he saved, on January 26, 18~4, at therisk of his own life, the shipwrecked men of the merchantman de Zeeuw, which was wrecked on the Banzert, west of the island of Schouwen. Because of this a gratification of twenty-five guilders will be awarded to the above mentioned Leendert Verspoor. The Hague, March 18, 18A4 (Signature, not legible) The Society for Public Welfare wishing to acknowledge and honor humane and generous actions, has thought to have to consider as such the endeavor of Leendert Verspoor of the 26th of January, 18~4; when aided by others, but unhe~tantly, he gave, with the ship of his father, aid to a frigate which had run aground and which was in great peril in the mouth of the river Schelde. In spite of the fierce wind and the high seas he saved, with much courage and thought and with great danger to his own life, sixteen crew members from an otherwise certain death. The Society wishes to make a public declaration of the acknowledgement, and gives to Leendert Verspoor this certificate, a silver medal, and twenty guilders, as a deserved tribute to his love of mankind, with the wish that the pleasing knowledge of having acted disinterestedly to the good of his fellow men be the most noble reward of his humane action.

| 1050 | There are ambiguities and inconsistencies for Edward C. Wayte in the published public record. While the census record for the Edward C. Wayte family in Brooklyn is in general agreement with the family's interment records and gravestones at the Oaklawn cemetery, Brookhaven, NY, and with family mentions in the local newspaper (the Patchogue Advance), the family has not been found in the 1940 census. Robert Ellis Wayte, identified as Charles C. Wayte's son (Mr. and Mrs. Charles C. Wayte), was married in 1943 and graduated from high school in 1942; records have been found suggesting that Robert Ellis Wayte (of Bellport, NY) was born in 1924. However, in the 1930 census, Edward C. Wayte was enumerated as being single, and neither Mary nor Robert were found in the 1930 census. However, his obituary clearly identifies Mary as his wife.
