 Includes NotesNotes for Recompence Sherrill:
Recompence was one of the leading citizens, not only of his town, but also of Suffolk County. His reputation as a man of worth extended as far as New York City, much further removed from East Hampton in those stage coach days than it is now. Two English brothers, Sherrills, heard of him while stopping in from their native land, in search of new fortunes. Actuated, doubtless, by a desire to see what manner of man bore their name in this far country, they journeyed out to the end of Long Island to see him. The fact that the memory of this visit remains to this day shows how deep an impression it must have made at the time of its occurrence. Visitors from England must indeed have been rare in that quaint little town, and the stir they made in that simple community is easily imagined.
