Entered upon Record the 24th of May anno 1670, by me Richard Terry Recordr. --- (See Town Records of Southold, L. I., Vol. I, fol. 86.)
Charles B. Moore, Esq., of New York, who has carefully studied the history of Hashamommock, thinks that Henry Whitney, while residing there, lived in the same house with Thomas Benedict.
As before stated, the date of his transfer of those lands gives no clue to the time of his removal, but the Town Records of Huntington, L. I., show that he was an inhabitant of that place, 17 Aug. 1658, when he bought of Wyandance, sachem of Pammanake, "three whole necks of meshepeake Land," -- "ffor the vse of the whole Towne of Huntington."
The following is a copy of the deed, endorsed "a deed for 3 Westward necks of Meadow," and "an Indian Deed for 3 necks westward of the six necks."
