    1. REYNOLDS Research
    2. On 2/5/06 (9:00:12 PM MST), in a posting to NY-LONGISLAND-L@rootsweb.com, Don Reynolds from Sydney (donkeen@optusnet.com.au) asked, "Researching the descendants William Joseph REYNOLDS of Long Island who migrated from Bradford, England about 1910. He married a Josephine DeLacey of Connecticut and they had at least two sons, William and Robert D. It is believed that Robert settled in Central Islip, Long Island.and raised a family of at least two sons Brian and Craig Reynolds I would be pleased to hear from anyone with knowledge of this family." For questions such as yours, you may want to contact the Central Islip Public Library (the library can suggest which local newspaper might have this information and other possible sources of information): Central Islip Public Library 33 Hawthorne Avenue Central Islip, NY 11722 Tel: 631/234-9333 Fax: 631/???-???? eMail: cisplib@suffolk.lib.ny.us http://www.suffolk.lib.ny.us/libraries/cisp/ The pertinent geography: Central Islip is a hamlet (unincorporated area) in the north-central section of the Town of Islip, in the southwest part of Suffolk County. There are 4 villages (municipal corporations) and 23 hamlets all or partly in the Town of Islip. 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 Central Islip in the Town of Islip is bordered on the north by Hamlet of Hauppauge and the Village of Islandia; on the east by the Hamlet of Ronkonkoma and the Hamlet of Bohemia; on the south by the Hamlet of North Great River, the Hamlet of Islip Terrace and the Hamlet of Islip; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Brentwood. And, as occurs in every one of Suffolk County's 157 communities (0 cities, 32 villages and 125 hamlets), the Hamlet of Central Islip has a different border than does the "Central Islip, NY 11722" postal zone (i.e., a place can have a Central Islip mailing address and not be in Central Islip and a place can have other than a Central Islip mailing address and be in Central Islip). Those places that have a "Central Islip, NY" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Central Islip are in the Village of Islandia and in the Hamlet of Hauppauge; and, at the same time, there are places in the Hamlet of Central Islip with a "Bohemia, NY 11716" mailing address. For those who have their copy of the 2005 or earlier editions 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 Central Islip in the Town of Islip, Suffolk County on pages 14 & 20 (map) and 21 (population estimate). I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting. Walter Greenspan Great Falls, MT & Jericho, NY . Cities, Towns, Villages, Hamlets and Postal Zones in New York State New York State is divided into counties. County A county is a municipal corporation, a subdivision of the state, created to perform state functions; a "regional" government. All counties are divided into cities, towns and Indian reservations. City A city is a unique governmental entity with its own special charter. Cities are not sub-divided, except into neighborhoods, which are informal geographic areas. Town A town is a municipal corporation and encompasses all territory within the state except that within cities or Indian reservations. Towns can be sub-divided into villages and hamlets. Village A village is a general purpose municipal corporation formed voluntarily by the residents of an area in one or more towns to provide themselves with municipal services. The pattern of village organization is similar to those of a city. A village is divided into neighborhoods, which are informal geographic areas. Hamlet A hamlet is an unincorporated area in one or more towns that is governed at-large by the town(s) it is in. A hamlet is divided into neighborhoods, which are informal geographic areas. Postal Zone "City" and "Town" A postal zone "City" and "Town" is an administrative district established by the U.S. Postal Service to deliver the mail. Postal zone "City" and "Town" may not (but are encouraged to) conform to municipal or community borders. Thus, postal zone location does not always determine city, village or hamlet location. Please be aware: In many areas of New York State, the problem of non-conforming postal zones leads to a situation where the majority of places have a different community name in their mailing address than the community where that place is actually located.

Surnames: WATKINS BOOTH ACKERLY HORTON CONKLIN HAWKINS HARLOW SATTERLY GOLDSMITH TUTHILL Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/jUB.2ACI/1131 Message Board Post: This is quite interesting and I don't have an answer so I'm wondering. Some names of my ancestors who migrated from the Southold area to Orange county (NY) are: Watkins, Booth, Ackerly, Horton, Conklin, Hawkins, Harlow, Satterly, Goldsmith, and Tuthill. All of the migrations appear to happen from the 1730s through to the early 1770s then stopped abruptly just before the Revolution. About the only ancestors who stayed (relatively) put were the Gardiners. I might also suggest that if you're researching any of these families and have reached a dead-end to check the Orange county New York records. Why they would leave the Southold area? One note I have regarding Timothy Hawkins (b. aft. 1712) says, "In 1772 went to New York Samuel Walker, Jacob and Isaac Slaughter, Moses and Timothy Hawkins." By, "New York," the note refers to Orange county. Is this a case of younger sons who might not ordinarily inherit much striking off on their own? Could it be the change of government from Connecticut to New York? I don't think it was anything having to do with revolutionary sympathies as both Suffolk and Orange were, largely, patriot in leaning. Any guesses?
