Notes for Robert Jackson:

It is highly recommended that the viewer read the article concerning Robert's wives by Harry Macy!! This article is on this site in the Conflicting Data Section.
Quote from Jackson Ledger at HCPD: "Robert left England with John Winthrop 1630-31 but which Winthrop is not known. He was said to be of Scotch-Irish ancestry. He was our immigrant ancestor.
Quote fr website:www.rootsweb.com/~njmorris/rockawayrecords/jackson.htm: "Tradition has it that Robert Jackson came from Watertown, Mass. to Whethersfield, CT., from thence to Hartford, CT., and from thence to Hempstead in 1643 which perhaps was the first English settlement in the western part of Long Island."
Quote fr Rockaway Library document: "Robert Jackson...a founder of Hempstead, Long Island in 1643". That quote is not technically correct. A Jackson genealogist, Frank Jackson, has told me that Robert "was one of 50-55 proprietors who created the settlement. John Carman and Robert Fordham negotiated a purchase of land for the Hempstead settlement with the local Indians and if any may be said to have 'founded' Hempstead, it would be those two. Robert Jackson and Capt. John Seaman were two of the largest landholders. Richard Denton was the Presbyterian religious leader of the group."
Quote from O. B. Robbins' book "History of the Jackson Family of Hempstead..." pg 24. He is quoting a pamphlet written in 1883: "The settlers of Hempstead are supposed to have come from England with the New Haven Colony under the leadership of Gov. John Winthrop and Sir Richard Saltenstall, and before coming to Long Island in 1644, had previously settled at Watertown, Mass., and Weathersfield and Stamford, Conn. They were accompanied by their minister, Rev. Richard Denton, a graduate of Cambridge, who came with them from England. The name of the settlement is said to be from Hemel Hempstead, in Hertfordshire, whence they originally came."
Quote fr "History of the Jackson Family of Hempstead..." by O. B. Robbins: "Following is a copy of a record written by Chalon Lemuel Jackson: 'Robert Jackson born in Scotland in 1621, came to Boston, drifted south through Connecticut and Rhode Island into Long Island, laid out the City of Hempstead..."
Robert owned a tract of land at Southold as early as 1640. (Mary P. Bunker, "Long Island Genealogies" (Albany, 1895), P. 220)
quote from http://208.39.186.24/qt/archive/files/1609.htm:
Coming around the circle to Rustdorp or Jamaica, which was bought of the Indians in 1656 by Robert Jackson and the three Townsend brothers and others of Hempstead, the site of the plantation to be "neare unto ye bever pond."
From Bill White, "In 1656, Robert Jackson and others wished to improve their labors, (Jacqueline Overton, Long Island Story, New York, 1929, p. 46) and applied to the Dutch Council for permission to begin plantations toward Carnarsie and Jamaica. They also applied to Governor Stuyvesant for more liberty and for representative government."
From Don Norman's file: "After the Dutch surrender to the English on August 27, 1664, the colony was renamed New York. Governor Nichol called a convention of two delegates from each Long Island town to frame a code of laws to govern the colony. This convention was held at Hempstead February 28, 1665, with Robert Jackson and John Hicks representing Hempstead. The code of laws [Duke's laws] written at this convention remained in force until after the Revolution. Robert's will, dated May 25, 1683 and proved October 13, 1685, is found in Will book A in Queens County, NY."
Quote from Long Island Genealogies, Bunker, pg 338, "Robert Jackson's Will dated 1683 says wife Agnes, was a dau of William and Jane Washburn." [but this is not correct! See transcription of Robert's Will on this site on the Bios, Obits and Wills page.]

"Page 22: JOSEPH FOWLER, was b. in Dalbury Lees, in Derbyshire, before 1610; .... He and his brother Richard came to New England about 1650, and are said to have first located in Rhode Island. There may be some probability in this statement as most of the early settlers of Newton, Flushing, Hempstead and Oyster Bay were from that Colony. He was in Maspeth Kill, now Newtown (Riker's Newtown, p.38), in 1655; taxed £1 in 1656 for 20 acres at Middlebury; Dec, 12, 1657, he signed the remonstrance to the Governor of New York, protesting against the injustice to the Quakers. In the Town Records of Newtown, Book I, p.452, is a deed from Joseph Fowler of Maspeth Kills to Robert Jackson of Hempstead for 40 acres at Middlebury, which the said Fowler purchased from his brother-in-law Richard Betts; said deed is dated April 10, 1660.

840.Isaac Platt168,169,170,171,172,173,174,175, born 10 Apr 1633 in England; died 31 Jul 1691 in Huntington, Suffolk County, Long Island, NY.He was the son of 1680. Richard Platt and 1681. Mary Wood.He married 841. Elizabeth Wood Abt. 1664 in Huntington, Suffolk County, Long Island, NY.
841.Elizabeth Wood176,177, born Abt. 1645; died Aft. 31 Jul 1691.She was the daughter of 1682. Jonas Wood and 1683. Elizabeth Strickland.
Notes for Isaac Platt:
Jacobus, in Families of Old Fairfield, clarified published data about Isaac's marriage.He stated, "Isaac married (1) Elizabeth Wood, daughter of Jonas 'of Oram.'"Isaac did not, as so often stated, marry (1) at Milford, 12 March 1640, Phebe Smith.No marriages were entered in either town or church records there that early, and the statement is obviously due to carelessness in confusing him with another Isaac Platt of Milford who did marry Phebe Smith, but on 12 March 1740, just a century later.[That later Isaac Platt was the son of Josiah Platt and Sarah Burwell.]The "12 March 1640" marriage, however, was published in Clemens, American Marriage Records Before 1699, and has been picked up by other published works, such as Beers' Commemorative Biographical Record of New Haven County Connecticut.
Isaac was one of the ten grantees of the tract called "Paugasuck" on Long Island, which the grantees placed under New Haven's jurisdiction in 1655.He moved to Huntington before 6 April 1663 (see the printed Records of Huntington, 1:45), and as a resident of Huntington was made a freeman of Connecticut 12 May 1664. The record reads: "...Thomas Scuddor ... Isaac Platt are accepted to be made free, and the Commissioners of Huntington are to administer the oath of freedom to them... Hartford: 12 May 1664."
The town of Huntington stood on land purchased from the Indians in 1646 by Gov. Theophilus Eaton of New Haven Colony.The tract was originally called Eaton's Neck, and for a long time Connecticut claimed jurisdiction over Long Island.Connecticut did not relinquish the territory until 1664, in accordance with the decision of the commissioners appointed to investigate the Duke of York's patent.The inhabitants of Huntington were obliged then to take out patents from Gov. Nicholl.Isaac was among the 57 land owners of Huntington, L.I. in 1666. On 30 November 1666 Gov. Nicholl required the inhabitants of Huntington to take out a patent of confirmation; the names of Isaac and Epenetus Platt appear as patentees. On 2 September 1679 in Huntington, Suffolk County, Long Island, NY, Isaac Platt received a deed of land from John Green.On 15 May 1683 he received a deed of land from Jonathan Hamet.
Isaac was Recorder for Huntington in 1687 and captain of the militia there. Isaac was a slave owner.
In 1681 Gov. Andrus imprisoned Isaac and Epenetus Platt and others for attending a meeting of delegates of the several towns to devise means to obtain "a redress of grievances under his arbitrary rule."After their release, a vote was passed at a town meeting to cover their expenses. On 4 August 1683 he was mentioned as son in the will of Richard Platt of Milford, receiving L20 and three Bibles for his children. In 1688 when a new patent for Huntington was taken out, again both Isaac and Epenetus Platt were among the patentees.
The will of Isaac Platt of Huntington was dated 22 May 1691.It mentions wife Elizabeth and children Elizabeth, Jonas, John, Mary, Joseph and Jacob.

| Notes for Elizabeth Wood: Isaac Platt's younger brother Epenetus married Elizabeth Wood's sister Phebe, and it is a curious coincidence that the maiden surnames of the mother and of the wives of these Platt brothers were the same.But according to Coddington there was no connection between the Wood family of Roydon, Essex, and that of Halifax, co. York. On 22 May 1691, she was mentioned in the will of Isaac Platt of Huntington as wife Elizabeth. |

Children of Isaac Platt and Elizabeth Wood are:
| i. | Elizabeth Platt179,180,181,182,183,184, born 15 Sep 1665 in Huntington, Suffolk County, Long Island, NY; died Bef. 02 Feb 1730 in Huntington, Suffolk County, Long Island, NY; married (1) John Brush; born Abt. 1654 in Southold, Long Island, NY; married (2) Samuel Griffin 14 Jan 1685 in Huntington, Suffolk County, Long Island, NY185,186,187; died 1691 in Derby, New Haven County, CT. |
| Notes for Elizabeth Platt: According to Coddington, Elizabeth was born about 1645, although Frederick Sanford's Record of My Ancestry gives the date as 12 March 1640, without citing his source. On 22 May 1691 she was mentioned as child in the will of Isaac Platt of Huntington. After the death of Samuel Griffin in 1691, Elizabeth returned to Huntington with her two infant daughters.There appears to be no absolute evidence proving the marriage of Elizabeth (Platt) Griffin to John Brush, but John did have a wife Elizabeth in 1712, and many early genealogists, including the most authoritative MS genealogy of Alrick Man, believed her to have been the second wife of John Brush. The records regarding Elizabeth's marriage(s) are far from clear.Jacobus, Families of Old Fairfield, says that Elizabeth married John Wood of Huntington.Considering the Platt/Wood family relationships, this is a logical alliance.Henry Hoff: Long Island Source Records shows three children born to John Wood of Huntington: 1) "Eliphalet Wood son of John Wood was born the 14th day of febuery in the year 1677" 2) "John Wood the son of John Wood was born Aprill the sixt 1680."3) "Martha Wood ye daughter of John Wood was born ye sixt of Jenuery in ye year of our Lord 1683/4."Elizabeth Platt would be only 12 when the first of these children was born, so it is unlikely that she was their mother.Torrey lists two marriages for "John Wood" of Huntington which would be consistent with the children shown in the Huntington records.1) John Wood (son of Timothy?) & _?_ Rhodes.2) John Wood (son of Timothy?) and Elizabeth Conklin? (no date given).Regarding the marriage of John Wood and Elizabeth Platt, he says "Wood, John & Elizabeth Platt (no) (1685-); ca. 1687?, b 1687." The Platt genealogy, on the other hand, calls her Elizabeth (Brush). Here again the supporting evidence is conflicting.Torrey lists two marriages for Samuel Griffin, one to Elizabeth Platt, indicating she married (2) John Brush; the other simply to Elizabeth (___), b. 1685, indicating Samuel lived at Stratford, CT.For John Brush, Torrey gives two marriages: "John Brush & 1/2f Sarah Adams/Elizabeth [Platt] Griffin (1665-1740+); by 1682, ca. 1685, Huntington, L.I." and "John Brush & Elizabeth (_?_); b. 18 December 1700; Huntington, L.I." Since Jacobus does not follow the Platt/Wood line further, it seems likely that he was mistaken in this case, and that Elizabeth Platt, daughter of Isaac married (1) Samuel Griffin and (2) John Brush, perhaps as his second wife. |
