Chris, Thurmon, and others, Yes, it sounds as if you have the right area. The village itself would be into the island, rather than along the shoreline. There is a simple map and description that helps sort out the names on a site I found on Google, the address is www.nnp.org/newvtour/regions/Long_Island/mespath.html Also, the website for the First Presbyterian Church of Newtown is interesting and gives history of the earliest congregation and ministers there. The names mentioned are the same as in the transcriptions. Most of what I have learned about Newtown has been gleaned in little bits and pieces. The Riker book is often cited as a good source and Weygant used that himself. I do not have a copy but I seem to recall someone from the list quoting from it a while back. Think I will go to the history room of one of the libraries here and see what else I can learn and will let you know. In one of the most recent transcriptions, Maspeth Kell is mentioned, that would also be a creek or stream, from the Dutch word kil for creek. Hope this helps. Barbara
