John Hulse, (ii) ^^[1]

1706 - 1751  (45 years)

• Name	John Hulse
  Suffix	(ii) ^
  Born	1706	Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [1, 2]
  	Address: "the south central part of the town"
  Gender	Male
  Possessions	26 Mar 1735	Fire Place (now Brookhaven Hamlet), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [1, 3, 4]
  	one or more meadow lots on Fire Place Neck
  	Seversmith indicates that "the home of this John Hulse was on the site of the present Beaver Dam Road, at the head of Bay Road, in Brook Haven village, Brookhaven town, then called Fireplace. He was a yeoman, and of apparently quiet and conservative inclinations." The house being referred to was likely Historic Site ID Br28 at 255 Beaver Dam Road, corner of Fire Place Neck road. It is unlikely that the present John Hulse lived in Fire Place. While he signed a petition for a new road (Beaver Dam road), this may merely indicated that he owned meadow lots, not that he had a dwelling house there. More importantly, in John Hulse's will he leaves to his eldest son, John Hulse, "my now dwelling house in Brookhaven [Setauket] and all that part of my home lot, to begin at my well  and so extend by the street fence half way to Nathaniel Satterly's land, ...."  This certainly suggests that he was living on the north shore.  He also leaves to his other sons Nehemiah and Joseph property in Setauket and elsewhere in Brookhaven Town.  And he leaves "to my three sons all my meadows and upland at South..." with no indication of a house. His executors are to sell "all that lot of land and swamp belonging to me at the Fire Place Neck," and elsewhere, and the proceeds used to pay his debts, funeral costs, support of his daughters, repairs to his dwelling house, and support of his sons as they are bound to trades. I think that Nehemiah, as part of the distribution of the "meadows and uplands at South" among the three sons, may have received the property at the corner of Fire Place Neck and Beaver Dam roads, including what was to become the "Hulse family cemetery" lot.   It is Nehemiah that eventually builds a dwelling house on this lot, not John. The precursor to the present Beaver Dam Road in the Hamlet of Brookhaven was an east-west road laid out at the south end of the owners' fifteen acre lots, near to the Great South Bay. Owners of these lots signed a petition to the Town Trustees requesting that a new road be laid out along the north of their lots -- the present Beaver Dam Rd. The petition is informative as it identifies the owners of the lots at the time — Thomas Hulse [perhaps John's uncle or cousin], Daniel Rose, Eleazor Hakins [Hawkins], Thomas Rose, Nathan Rose [Sr.], William Helms, Richard Hulse [perhaps John's uncle or cousin], John Hulse [present], John Hule [Hulse?, his son] Junier, Nathaniel Bayle, John Wood, Jeames Tuttel [Tuttle]. He obviously was not one of the original purchasers of these lots in about 1665, but acquired his interest later.
