On 3/13/04 (8:57:33 PM MST), as part of a posting to both NY-LONGISLAND-L@rootsweb.com & GEN-NYS-L@rootsweb.com, George Shaw (georshaw@enoreo.on.ca) asked, "Looking for information on the ancestry & descendants of Timothy: 1. TIMOTHY1 SHAW died 1779 in New Lotts, Queens Co.?, Long Island, New York." New Lots was a town in Kings County; however, the Town of New Lots was not created until 1852 when the Town of New Lots secedes from the Town of Flatbush. Kings County then consists of 2 cities (Brooklyn and Williamsburgh) and 6 towns (Bushwick, Flatbush, Flatlands, Gravesend, New Lots and New Utrecht). Then in 1886, the Town of New Lots was annexed into the City of Brooklyn. Kings County now 1 city (Brooklyn) and 4 towns (Flatbush, Flatlands, Gravesend and New Utrecht). I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. Regards, Walter Greenspan
