It originally occupied the east portion of Little Neck on the west side of Yaphank Creek, stretching from the Carman's River to the old South Country Road, which in 1741 would have been north of the present Montauk Highway (perhaps to about the present Sunrise Highway right-of-way. The west portion of Little Neck was occupied by the Hawkins farm. Their residences were grouped relatively close to each other.]

  Histories

  Map of Barteau Homestead & Cemetery at time of sale in 1886 by Stephen C. and Ida M. (Rose) Barteau to Silas Tuttle of Southampton. This map is of the original homestead and farm of Francis Barteau (iii)  as it existed at the time of its sale by Stephen Curtis and Ida Rose Barteau to Silas Tuttle in 1886.  Francis (iii) removed from Huntington, NY to Fire Place (now Brookhaven and South Haven hamlets) in 1741.  Francis was Stephen's third great grandfather.  It was drawn by Richard A. Thomas overlaid on a modern Google map, and based on the description of the property in the 1886 deed (Suffolk County Deeds Libor 299, page 427).  Richard discusses the difficulties in transcribing the site description from the 1886 deed to a modern map, including ambiguities in the deed in two emails:  March 08, 2014 & November 3, 2015.
