I haven't had a chance to check this particular Richard TOTTEN yet. My "Richard" was married to Mary WOODMAN BAMPTON TOTTEN. They had three children: Emma Louise, Josephine Davis, and Washington Agustus (unusual spelling...he was the one born in Central Park, L.I. now Bethpage). Washington Agustus' wife was Maude (last name unknown)...according to notes in one of my great aunt's papers "Aunt Maude was buried in the Quaker burial ground". So there is a Quaker connection, but I'm not sure how early. Maude and W.A. TOTTEN had a daughter, Elizabeth, but I cannot locate them after either the 1900 or 1910 census in Oyster Bay. Emma Louise TOTTEN married a HEWITT (George, I believe a native of Ireland b, c. 1813, not the "HEWLETT" family of L.I. as I thought earlier). I have found them also in Oyster Bay in a census report. We have pictures of my great grandmother Josephine TOTTEN SCHULTZE with her sister Emma Louise TOTTEN HEWITT and her family either in NYC or on Long Island in the early 1930's with my great aunt "Dollie" CLARK (nee Josephine SCHULTZE). Somewhere we have a picture of W.A. TOTTEN's house in Oyster Bay. The next time that I find it I'm going to send a JPEG of it to the Oyster Bay Historical Society. We also have a photo of my g grandmother's childhood home that my great aunt May labeled as family homestead "Hicksville". Yikes! I've rambled enough for now...I check out your links right away! Thank you so much for your kind assistance. Roberta Schultze
