On 2/3/05 (1:11:32 PM MST), in a posting to NY-LONGISLAND-L@rootsweb.com, Terri (taire@webtv.net) asked, "Wondering if anyone can enlighten me concerning Newton Creek, LI. Apparently, it existed back in the 1660's." Newtown Creek is in the 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. For more info, please see: http://www.forgotten-ny.com/STREET%20SCENES/newtowncreek/newtown.html I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. Regards, Walter Greenspan
