Just found this marriage announcement in The Huntington Long Islander, Friday, August 30, 1839; Page: 3:
"On the 21st inst at the Friends Meeting House, Westbury, Jacob H. Willets of Bayside, L.I. to Sarah A. daughter of John W. Powell, of the former place."

I agree about hunting for particular Powells on Long Island. My Powells there seem to be just with those three, Thomas, Abigail and the one daughter Abigail; surprisingly enough, I have (so far) run into no connection with Thomas and Abigail's other children, nor any other LI Powell lines. Do you know anything about my Pearsalls? Or those associated Willets, Cocks & Titus lines?

Yours is the line I keep "bumping into" but I've yet to determine a connection. In particular, I am researching William POWELL who married Abigail BRUSH and lived in NYC. I find them as late as 1850 but nothing beyond. I've not been able to determine any other children other than Pearsall Brush POWELL (b 1798), who is my husband's direct-line POWELL (3ggrandfather). I think that looking for Powells on Long Island is like looking for "John Smith" in "England"!

Jeannine, Have direct-line Powells and a few related-by-marriage Pearsalls. No Brush, though. Powells: Thomas and Abigail (8G grandparents) through their daughter Abigail who m. Richard Willets. Pearsalls: Martha who m. 7G uncle Henry Cock, Henry who m. 6G aunt Mary Titus, and Sarah who m. 6G uncle John Titus. I have no idea how these Pearsalls might have been related, and would love to learn. Mary and John Titus were brother and sister; were Henry and Sarah Pearsall?

Greetings from Beautiful British Columbia! I am researching POWELL, BRUSH, PEARSALL and related families from late 1700's and early 1800's. I would love to connect with anyone else searching these names on Long Island and in NYC.

I am researching the Emma T. and Ferdnand Carlson family originally of Brooklyn, Queens, then later Elmont, NY... They had two daughters, Mabel T. and Lillian. Mabel T. married Evert Soderlund, living also in Elmont. No information on Lillian. Emma T. was my aunt (b. 1894).

Carol, Thank you for the information sent. Reuben Hall was my GGGg/father. HIS Grand son, my G-grandfather was the George, who married Ida A. H. Keyes...
The HALL'S were one of two families who gave land for the Cemetery and the 1st Methdoist Church. (I have the land records on them.)
I oftened wondered when IDA came to Bayville. Their first child, George (Not a jr.) was born in 1890.

This give me another avenue to search.....Thank you Soooooooo much. Dale

Dale,as Linda mentioned, Linda and I are related. We have been working together for quite a few years now. I have records from the Methodist Episcopal Church of Bayville. Reuben Hall was received into the church on Sept. 22, 1872. Other HALLs are Catherine,joined 1864, Josephine and Phebe (joined Mar. 13, 1868), Catherine (joined Nov 11, 1871), Augustus Sarah Jane, Fanny, Edward, and Asa (all joined Aug 4, 1872), ,Bertherina A (joined Jan 31, 1875), Mrs. Ida A.H., (joined Jan 4, 1882), Sarah, state in life is widow (joined April 1883), George (joined Feb 3, 1884), William E. (joined Sept 13, 1891), Unfortunately, it does not give any relationships, parents, etc. in these records.There were no death/funeral records on the microfilm. The microfilm is located at the Locust Valley Library, Locust Valley, N.Y.
