he Post family has made significant contributions to the life and well being of the Brookhaven Hamlet community.  Early in the 20th Century, James H. Post, one of Brookhaven Hamlet’s early civic activists and benefactor, purchased (among other contributions) the Squassux Landing property and made its shore available to local boaters.  His daughter, Elisabeth Post and her husband, Thomas Morrow, were instrumental in establishing the Post-Morrow Foundation, which has been an important influence in preserving the area’s open spaces, wetlands, waterways, natural resources, and historic character.

This chart outlines the history of the Post family on Long Island from Richard Post, one of the 'founders" of the Town of Southampton, to Elisabeth Post Morrow and her husband Thomas Morrow.  More details of the people on this chart may be found in the Hamlet People database or by clicking the underlined names..
