An article in today's (October 9, 2003) NEWSDAY reports that a mass grave filled with human remains has been uncovered on Shelter Island, and experts say the unique way the bodies were positioned could open a new chapter in Long Island's American Indian history. The grave was discovered last week, as Walter Richards, 29, a Shelter Island police officer, was excavating his property on Osprey Road to build a barn. Police said workers, digging 3 to 4 feet into the earth, found scattered skeletal remains. So far, police said, skeletal remains from four to five humans have been removed from the site. An additional five bodies remain undisturbed, Police Chief James Read said.

Brooklyn Standard Union June 13, 1929 Courts LOSES DAMAGE SUIT FOR INJURIES WHEN BROKER’S CAR HIT Chauffeur Says He Gave Plaintiff Lift Without Employer’s Permission Riverhead, L. I. June 13.—A suit of $2,500 personal damages brought by Silvia CERRETA, of 111 Cooper street, Brooklyn, against Sherman B. JOOST, Wall street broker and Mayor of Quogue, L. I., was dismissed by County Judge George H. FURMAN yesterday. CERRETA had been given a lift in one of JOOST’s automobiles, driven by the JOOST chauffeur Martin FINLAY, April 4, 1928. The automobile hit a tree on the Montauk highway near Bay Shore and CERRETA suffered some bad cuts and bruises. But FINLAY testified today that he had no right giving ride in one of the JOOST cars without the permission of Mr. JOOST, and that he did not have such permission when he offered CERRETA the ride. On this ground the judge dismissed the case. Transcribed for http://www.bklyn-genealogy-info.com/ (Brooklyn Info Pages) byMargaret Ransom

Since the Y strand on the DNA is contained in males, only male Carpenters can participate. Male Carpenters from the United States of America, England (and the Commonwealth) & France are strongly encouraged to submit their Y-DNA. Some of the Carpenter name variants are: Carpender, Charpentier, Carpentier, Zimmerman. There are many other Carpenter branches of English descent in America, other countries and those still in the United Kingdom. There are many Carpenters of German and Swiss ancestry whose ancestral name of Zimmerman means Carpenter. Many of these line have been misidentified one way or the other. The Y-DNA testing will help sort out these lines. There are three main branches of CARPENTERS in New England (USA) who are believed to be related in England. These represent about 60 to 70 % of the Carpenters surnames in North America. These Branches are: 1) Rehoboth,MA branch. Founder: Captain William Carpenter b. 1605 in England & came to America in 1638. 2) Providence, RI branch. Founder: William Carpenter b. circa 1608/1611 in England & came to America about 1635. 3) Philadelphia, PA branch. Founder: Samuel Carpenter b. 1649 & came to America with his brothers and sister circa 1670. Many of the Carpenters in the Southern States (USA) may be related to these Carpenters from New England or directly from England. Or they may be related to the French or Swiss/German lines. There is much confusion in these lines. It is possible, but far from proven, that the English Carpenter ancestors came from France and are related to the French Carpentier (Charpentier) lines. These include the Carpentier lines that are in Quebec, Canada and other French speaking areas.

These places that have a "Brookhaven, NY" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Brookhaven are in the Hamlet of North Bellport and in the Hamlet of Shirley. At the same time, there are places in the Hamlet of Brookhaven that have a "Yaphank, NY 11980" mailing address.
