| 1339 | [smith.GED] History tells how he was granted a large land area now encompassing much of Smithtown, St James and surrounding areas by riding a Bull around it. Richard Smyth (Smith) was one of the early settlers of Southampton, Long Island, and it is there that we find the earliest established record of him, who later became the patentee of Smithtown, and whose activities made him a prominent figure among his contemporaries and gave him a well recognized position in the history of Long Island. It now appears most probable that he was the Richard Smith who fled from England 2 Oct. 1635, aged 22 years, in the ship John of London, bound for St. Christophers. We may suppose that ships sailing the West Indies followed a course which took them along the New England coast and that they would put in at Boston on the way. Under such conditions Richard Smith could have ended his voyage there or would have gone on to St. Kitts, later to find his way back if he concluded at New England offered more attraction than some point in the West Indies. If he did continue the voyage to the West Indies at that time, he would seem to have arrived in New England within a year or two later from his supposed contact with the activities of the Cambridge press at time of printing its earliest issues, in 1639 and 1640, we suppose him to have been in Boston or in Cambridge at that time, but it is not until his arrival in Southampton that we have a definite record. Southampton was settled by a group of men who lived at Lynn,in Massachusetts Bay Colony. Contracts made by them regarding transactions of their families and goods and for the acquisition of land on Long Island were dated at Lynn, 10 March 1639/40 and 17 April 1640. The movement was made to Southampton in June of that year. The advance of settlers had at first selected a site at Cow Neck, on the Sound, on the west end of the Island, but finding that the Dutch claimed the territory and would be likely to make it unpleasant for any English there, they chose a new site, further east, where they would not disturbed. Originally belonging to the Indians, the land which Smithtown rests was first given to Lyon Gardner by Montauk Indian Chief Wyandanch, a gesture of gratitude as Gardner had rescued Wyandanch's daughter from a hostile tribe. Gardner, the first Englishman to settle on eastern Long Island received the land as a gesture of peace and friendship. Gardner retained the land until 1663, when he sold it to Richard Smythe for an unknown price. It wasn't until 1665 that he received a patent of confirmation from the Governor of colonial New York, Richard Nicoll. The patent was granted on condition, that ten families would settle in Smithtown within three years. Thus, 1665 marked Smithtown's official beginning, paving the way for future settlers. Smythe himself settled in what is now Nissequogue. There he coexisted with the local Nessequake Indians. While Smythe's relationship with the natives was peaceful and friendly, no known descendents of the Nissequogue are alive today as smallpox wiped out this population. After Smythe's death in 1692, Smithtown was divided between his children and grandchildren. Additionally, he left land for the building of a grist mill on Nissequogue River, one which operated until 1909. The land remained in the Smith family until 1735, when the grandchildren began to sell plots of land to outsiders. Around this time, a commercial center grew at what is now the Village of the Branch. Like most of Long Island at this time, agriculture formed the main component of Smithtown's economy, with many large and productive farms by the mid 18th century. As of 1776, a census revealed 716 people had been living in Smithtown with almost half under the age of 16. Generally, the residents were strongly patriotic, resisting British occupation for seven years after the Battle of Long Island. After the war ended, a milling complex known as the New Mills was started 1789 at what is now Blydenburgh park. Additionally, 100 acres of forest was cut down and used to dam the Nissequogue, creating "stump pond". The pond recived its name from the stumps of the cut trees which remained visible under the surface of the water for many years after its creation. In 1783, Smithtown recieved official recognition as a town from New York State. Judge J. Lawrence Smith, a descendent of the original Richard Smyth, wrote A History of Smithtown in 1882. The book served as an important link to Smithtown's past. Like many works of non-fiction at the time, the book was filled with hyperbole. Remarking on the longevity of its residents, Smith claimed that one man in 1739 had to lived to the age of 140.
