[S11] gravestone, Oaklawn Cemetery, Brookhaven, Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY (); May, 2005. [S263] Undated manuscript in the files of the Town of Brookhaven Historian's Office which by various notations appears to be an inventory of the gravestones in the old Homan Cemetery (#80), now abandoned and without gravestones. Likely prepared in the early 193. [S11] gravestone, Oaklawn Cemetery, Brookhaven, Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY (); May, 2005. A notation in the Oaklawn cemetery records reads: "Child of Silas & Hannah Homan, name worn off stone: Jonathan Howel." The meaning of this notation is difficult to understand. The stone is clearly readable. The stone appears to be old, was damaged and repaired at some point, and therefore likely not a replacement for an earlier gravestone. But most importantly, because of his age, Jonathan clearly could not have been a child of Silas and Hannah Homan. Possibly the notation originally referred to the Nancy Homan gravestone (#021.072.Homan11), and it's association with Jonathan Howel was due to a transcription error when names were transferred from older records to the more modern card files.
