On 1/28/04 (6:42:22 AM MST), in a posting to both LI lists (li-rooters@listserv.genexchange.com & NY-LONGISLAND-L@rootsweb.com), Honor Conklin (HCONKLIN@mail.nysed.gov) asked, "Does anyone have any information on Samuel Toe of Tew's Neck (later Lawrence Neck, now College Point), near Flushing, Queens. Where did he come from? Did he leave any descendants? Was he possibly related to the pirate Thomas "Tew" who claimed he was of the Rhode Island Tew's (the family doesn't acknowledge him)." Honor, you most probably have already gone down this route, but I'll ask anyway: Have you contacted the Queens Borough Public Library?: Queens Borough Public Library 89-11 Merrick Boulevard New York (Jamaica P.O.), NY 11432 Tel: 718/990-0700 Fax: 718/???-???? Contact information: http://www.queenslibrary.org/about/gen_info.asp Home page: http://www.queenslibrary.org/ I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. Walter Greenspan
