Following up with some more information about the ongoing discussion about Newtown Creek in the 1600s as originally posted on 2/3/05 (1:11:32 PM MST), in a posting to NY-LONGISLAND-L@rootsweb.com, wherein Terri (taire@webtv.net) asked, "Wondering if anyone can enlighten me concerning Newton Creek, LI. Apparently, it existed back in the 1660's." In addition to pointing out that Newtown Creek is in northwest part of Long Island and, circa the latter part of the 17th century, was the border separating the Town of Bushwick in Kings County from the Town of Newtown in Queens County ... According to a posting by Ned Smith (ehlsmith@worldnet.att.net) in March 2002 to the Suffolk County Rootsweb, in the 1600s there was a 'Newtown' area in the Town of Brookhaven: "It was mostly early records from the 1600s which referred to a Newtown area in the Town of Brookhaven. The name fell out of use soon after. As you say, it was never a postal address, nor was it an official jurisdiction." Ned also made a second posting, " ... (T)here is a neighborhood called Newtown in the Hampton Bays area of the Town of Southampton." Separately, I've asked my contact at the Suffolk County Planning Department if he can shed any light on this 'other' Newtown that was in the Town of Brookhaven. I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. Regards, Walter Greenspan
