14 Jul 1748 |
South Haven, Brookhaven, Suffolk, NY [4, 5, 6, 7] |
- [There is uncertainty concerning John's birth and death dates and places. Frost citing "Bostwick Genealogy" indicates a birth date of 14 Jul 1745 in Setauket, and citing Mallman's "Shelter Island" indicates a birth date of 14 Jul 1748. Frost also notes-- "Julia Wickham of Cutchogue, L. I. has in her possession a copy of an old Bible which is as follows: 'John Havens, born July 10, 174--, died June 18, 1810. His wife Abigail, born July 4, 1746, died November 9, 1801. Their children -- Mary, born May 5, 1770, Nathan March 6, 1772, died February 27, 1797; Jeremiah, July 6, 1774; Charity, January 8, 1777; Sarah, June 13, 1779; Abigail, April 23, 1782; Charles H., November 14, 1784; John, November 14, 1788; Sarah, May 6, 1790.'" An entry in the NYB&G Record indicated that Capt. John Smith died 18 Jun 1806 at Moriches, age 61. If 10 Jul 1748 is selected as his birth date, then his death is but a month shy of his 61st year.]
