• Notes

  [This John Post (Jr.) is reported to be the ancestor of the Post's of Bellport, NY. I have been unable yet to find the lineage connection. John, Hiram, and Nathan Post mentioned by Bigelow may be this John's son and grandsons. This John was reportedly born 1732 and died 1799. The John recorded by Bigelow for the shipyard transactions occurred in 1833. Hiram and Nathan were found in the 1850 census in what appears to be Bellport, with birth years of about 1800 and 1804 respectively. The John mentioned by Bigelow was not found in Bellport or the Town of Brookhaven in 1850. This suggests that the John recorded by Bigelow may be Hiram and Nathan's father (and this John's son), who had died by 1850. (see Bigelow, p.19)]
