Nicoll Floyd, † >

1762 - 1852  (89 years)

• Name	Nicoll Floyd
  Suffix	† >
  Born	4 Oct 1762	Mastic, Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [1]
  Gender	Male
  Elected	19 Jan 1802	South Haven, Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [2, 3]
  	trustee of the Presbyterian Church
  	He was one of the first trustees of the "Temporalities of the congregation of Southaven" at the time of its incorporation on January 19, 1802 following the Revolutionary War, and remained a trustee for many years.
  Religion	1828	South Haven (Presbyterian Church), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [3]
  	a member of the Presbyterian Church
  	He purchased for $25 pew no. 6 in the newly built church. This pew was for the use of his family and family's heirs "forever." Pew 6 were believed to be the third from the front on the left. (Many pews were purchased back in 1840, although the Floyd pew is not listed among them. Some families were still claiming their hereditary rights to their pews in 1889.) * Borthwick's assignment of pews is based on the arrangement of the pews in 1930 (and present). Yet, he reports that the interior of the church was rearranged at some point which placed the pulpit at the opposite end of the meeting house. Whether the pews were arranged in the same way then as now is problematical.
