Are there any published records of the Presbyterian churches in Southold/Southampton areas from the late 1660's early 1700's? * * * * * * ~ ~ ~ ~ Please check our Home Page ~ ~ ~ ~ * * * * * * http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/a/n/d/Sharon-D-Andreasen/ ~~~~~ Speak kind words/hear kind echoes ~~~~~ -----Original Message----- From: dutch-colonies-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:dutch-colonies-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of David Roberts Sent: Friday, March 23, 2007 2:06 PM To: dutch-colonies@rootsweb.com Subject: [DUTCH-COLONIES] Dutch Reformed & Presbyterian Although this would relate more to ethnic English rather than ethnic Dutch churches, most of the English "Puritan" or Congregationalist churches on Long Island which were established in the mid-17th century became "Presbyterian" by the early 18th century. This would involve the congregations at, among other places: Southold, Southampton, East Hampton,

I'm guessing that what you want is baptism and marriage records as opposed to church history. Perhaps since those were English towns, they seem to be more like the towns in Mass. in that you are more likely to find that info in town records than church records for that era. For Southampton -- Births from 1660 to 1778 are in The Daughters of the American Revolution Magazine, vol 87, no. 3 (Mar 1953), pp 409-412. Marriages 1660-1768 and Deaths 1677-1813 are in the same vol 87, no. 11 (Nov 1953), pp. 1247-1250. For Southold -- Births, marriages and deaths. In "Southold, N. Y., Town Records, Vital Statistics from Libers D. and E., in the Town Clerk's Office" NYGBR vol 38 no. 3 thru vol 39 no. 2. These are organized by family -- just the way they were entered, I assume. The time period is from roughly mid 1600's to mid 1700's. Also there is "The Salmon Records" in NYGBR vols 47 thru 49. These are "a private register of marriages and deaths". "The lists extend from 1696 to 1811..." It starts with deaths in vol 47, p. 344. Marriages begin in vol 49, p. 64. Regards, Howard hswain@ix.netcom.com

Diane: To add to what Howard sent you, you might search http://longislandgenealogy.com There is quite a bit of material on that site. Also RootsWeb has a Suffolk County site and a LongIsland site, but neither are too active. You might post a query on either of those sites. The LIRooters site used to be VERY active but it too has tailed off. There were a couple of Southold "experts" on LIRooters at one time. Try the Suffolk County Historical Society in Riverhead also. Of course, Southold & Southampton were 99.9% English in the early days. The NYG&B published a book "Long Island Source Records" some years ago - re-prints of articles from the NYG&B Record. I know that book had a long run of Southold records. My friend, however, is working on her daughter-in-law's Hempstead ancestry & she has a pile of my Long Island references - including this reference.
