On 8/7/03 (4:32:30 PM MDT), Rachel Caves ([email protected]) asked, "Can anyone possibly tell me which township the people living around Baiting Hollow would be listed in the 1790 thru 1840 federal census?" Baiting Hollow was/is a hamlet in the Town of Riverhead. Baiting Hollow is one of those many communities on Long Island where none of the places in Baiting Hollow have a "Baiting Hollow, NY" mailing address. The pertinent geography: Baiting Hollow is a hamlet (unincorporated area) in the north-central part of the Town of Riverhead, Suffolk County. There are no villages and 7 hamlets all or partly in the Town of Riverhead (Riverhead is the only town in either Suffolk or Nassau County without any villages within its borders). There are no cities and 10 towns in Suffolk County. There are 2 Indian reservations in Suffolk County. (I'm including after my name a NYS Geographic Glossary with the NYS definitions of county, city, town, village, hamlet and postal zone.) Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Baiting Hollow in the Town of Riverhead is bordered on the north by Long Island Sound; on the east by the Hamlet of Riverhead; on the south by the Hamlet of Riverhead and the Hamlet of Calverton; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Wading River. And, as occurs in every one of Suffolk County's 157 communities (0 cities, 31 villages and 126 hamlets), the hamlet and the postal zone that use the same name, have different borders. In this case there is no "Baiting Hollow, NY" postal zone and places in the Hamlet of Baiting Hollow have other than a "Baiting Hollow, NY" mailing address (these places have either a "Calverton, NY 11903 or a Riverhead, NY 11901" mailing address). For those who have their copy of the 2002 or earlier edition of the LI Population Survey or have already downloaded the report from the Long Island Power Authority web site (eMail me directly if you need instructions on how to access and download the report), you'll find the Hamlet of Baiting Hollow in the Town of Riverhead, Suffolk County on pages 14 & 26 (map) and 27 (population estimate). I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. Regards, Walter Greenspan . Cities, Towns, Villages, Hamlets and Postal Zones in New York State New York State is divided into counties.

About a month ago I was able to go to Albany and find info on my Dayton line. I was able to get a copy of my gggrandfather's death certificate. I was so excited. The information on the death certificate allowed me to further my search and it also left me somewhat puzzled (there was a piece of info that was different from what I was told). I had the opportunity to go back up to NY this summer. According to the death certificate, he was buried in the East Hillside Cemetery in Glen Cove/Greenvale. I contacted the cemetery and indeed he was listed as being buried there. BUT there was no indication as to where he was buried in the cemetery. The superintendant was very nice. He tried to help as much as he could. He took the time to find record of my gggrandmother who I know died prior to 1920. BUT there was no listing as to where in the cemetery she was buried. Luckily, the cemetery is only 5 acres, so my husband and I (and the bird!) searched for about four to five hours through the 5 acres without any success. I was disappointed to say the least, but I did at least find out when and where my gggrandmother died so I can now get her death certificate. In the cemetery there were several graves that just had rocks as markers, others used slate which just washed away, others had wooden crosses, and yet others had nothing. If anyone has Daytons or Dewars in their family and they know they are buried in East Hillside, I'd would greatly appreciate knowing where. My gggrandparents are Robert Henry Dayton: b. 1843, d. 1935 Cecilia A. Dayton: b. app. 1845, d. 1918 both born in NY. All records indicate they lived their entire lives on L.I. Any suggestions on how to find out exactly where they were buried would also be appreciated. Liz --------------------------------- Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
