Excerpt from Chronicles of the Town of Easthampton: County of Suffolk, New York
The Chronicles of Easthampton were written, and originally published in the "Corrector" newspaper, about the year 1840. The narrative extends from the first settlement to the end of the American Revolution: a period in which the town was of most relative importance, and during which occurred the most interesting events of its history. Some branches of the subject, however, in themselves finite, have been treated in continuation or to their conclusion at a much later day. The writer has derived his materials from these sources:
I. The Town and Church Records, private letters and papers, and such traditions as have been thought worthy of belief.
II. Lion Gardiner's "Relations of the Pequot War, " Sampson Occum's "Letter on the Religious Customs of the Montauketts, " and other papers published in the Historical Collections.
III. The various writers treating generally of the Colonial and Provincial history of New England and New York, and particularly of the history of Long Island, to whom access could be obtained.
