I was just struck by the proximity of those graves in Blind Brook cemetery. Elisha Budd's daughter, Miriam Maynard, is buried on the original John Budd property. Through the web I've been in touch with a wonderful woman from that area, Alice Wolf. She used to summer on Hen Island and said that never did she recall seeing or hearing about a cemetery there. And it's so small you'd think you'd notice. After a little investigating, it seems that many from that area think that the Hen Island cemetery was moved to Blind Brook many many years ago.
It seems more likely that Joseph Budd was born in the 1670's. There is no record in Southold that Joseph was born in 1658. His sister Hannah and her husband Jonathan Hart were Joseph's guardians in 1689. His brother John who married Hester gave a bond in 1685 to be guardian for their sister Sarah. Then in June the 29, 1695 Joseph wrote:
Be it known unto all men by these presents that I Joseph Budd late of Southold, but now resident at Rye in the County of Westchester have the day of the date hereof received of John Tuthill Senr and Isaac Arnold, Executors to the estate of my honoured father John Budd of Southold deceased...
He then married Sarah Underhill in Oct. of 1695. He'd come into his inheiritance and quite promptly married. Sarah may have been born in NYC or Rye. I did find..Christopher Dean, of the city of New York, butcher in his will dated Oct. 24, 1689 mentions "My house and lot in New York by me bought of Humphrey Underhill and others, to be sold" Some research into the land records would help.
I don't know what the age of majority was considered to be in that time period - 18 21, 25? I have seen records where a husband and wife, 15 and 16, died on the same day.
I don't think Elisha was Joseph and Sarah's youngest son, considering he was born about 1705. They had been married about 10 years in 1705 and Joseph Budd left 10 children. In Joseph Budd's 1722 will "To my sons Joseph, Elisha, Underhill and Gilbert, each €10 when of age". If he named them according to descending ages, Gilbert would have been the youngest son and several of his children were minors.
This Amy Lyon may be a daughter of Joseph Lyon by an earlier marriage. Amy Lyon left a will in 1782 proved in 1784...To all Christian people to whom the Presents shall come, Know ye, I, EME HAINS, widow and relict of Godfrey Hains, deceased, of Harrison's precinct, Westchester County..and she names several grandchildren.
If this is Sarah Underhill Budd Lyon, then she was married to Joseph Lyon nearly 40 years and would likely consider his children and her children as all "her" children.
It does seem likely to me that her son, Elisha Budd, married his daughter, Anne Lyon.
Her son Jonathan Budd turns up in Windham, CT near alot of Lyons. He then made his way to Pennsylvania and was called of the "Windham Company."
