Could some kind soul give me some clues on how to find info on a person in 1727 Southhold. I am trying to find any info on Charles Hole b c 1700. Here is the only proof I have he was in Southold: 'Abstracts of Unrecorded Wills, Vol XI, Prior to 1790', pages 39-40: 'In the name of God, Amen. February 8, 1727/8. I, HANNAH KNOWLING, of Shelter Island, ...... I make Charles HOLE, of Southold, and my daughter, Mary Merrow, executors.' (One witness was Henry Merrow) Left a grandson John Merrow; dau. Hannah Hopkins; grandsons William Hopkins and Cornelius Paine; son-in-law John Par and his dau. Mary; my son Elisha Par. I believe Charles migrated to NJ c 1737- around the same time as Badgleys (sp) and WILCOCKSIE families. Charles marr. Sarah (SMITH??). He was a school teachers and witnessed many wills in NJ, and he died in Eliz., Essex Co. 1749. I have searched for him in the HOWELL family but cannot find a Chas. in the proper time frame. Also tried the HOHL/HULL line, with no luck. I have to do any searching by mail or on-line, so any help appreciated.
