  Gender	Male
  Reference Number	H108a  [1]
  Religion	21 Oct 1827	South Haven (Presbyterian Church), Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY   [3, 4]
  	a Presbyterian
  	On 21 Oct 1827 he was ordained as both an Elder and a Deacon. In 1828, he purchased a pew for $10. This purchase entitled him and his family to use the pew for his lifetime.
  Died	12 Dec 1841  [2, 5]
  Notes	[It is not certain that Zophar Petty lived in the South Haven/Fire Place hamlets. Some sources suggest that he resided in Middle Island. However, the South Haven Church minutes record the baptisms of his children there. It should be noted, however, that the Middletown (Middle Island) and South Haven churches were yoked at the time, and both were served by the same pastor.] [I am not entirely certain that the Zophar Petty recorded in the South Haven Presbyterian Church records is the same Zophar recorded in Ralph Clymer Hawkins' "Hawkins Genealogy," but it seems likely as I could find no other contemporary Zophar Petty's. However, neither R. C. Hawkins nor the Hawkins Association "Supplement" records Zophar Petty's descendents.]
