Hi Paula; Unfortunately the author of the two Weeks books followed the Massachusetts families more closely and with more detail. The Long Island families were quickly mentioned, but not in detail. Book II states " The fllowing are known or believed to be of the Oyster Bay family ".....but, follow this. George of Hempstead, L.I. was son of George, son of Thomas (died Feb. 18, 1761, aged 74 y. 6 m., 14 d) who had BROTHER EZEKIEL.....but I can't find a son named Ezekial under Thomas. I did find Ezekial, born May 4 and Baptized June 8, 1729, son of Joseph 3 ( Thomas 2; Thomas 1) . Joseph married Hannah Lewis.. Ezekiel married March 28, 1756, Sarah (b. 1730) Haviland, of Oyster Bay; died March 26, 1808; she died Nov or Dec. 7, 1808. He lived at Comac and was driven from his home by the British 1778. May have moved to Conn. Children listed; Jesse; William; Lewis; Sarah; Freelove. That's about it.......have I hit anything for you ???? Don't be affraid to write back should you find some more leads..........but.........nothing more, whatsoever on Ezekiel. Chow for now....
