Hi William,
Yes, I'd be surprised if we weren't 'cousins.'I found the son I was talking about.His son John, b. 1709 m. Hannah Salmon of Southold.Joshua used to take a boat over and visit the Salmon's, Bailey,s (his wife's family - his wife died young at the time of the birth of his daughter Mary, b. July 29, 1716) and his son from time to time.But as I read through some of the diary entries, William, I guess it was Robert, his third-born son, who married Mary, daughter of Judge Benjamin Young who moved to Long Island.There is an entry for Wed. June 9th 1725:"I went to So-hold Stephen Thos & Abigail. [three of his children]Robert was Maried to Mary youngs the Daughter of Benja Youngs Esqr of So-hold on Thursd Last June the 3d.I Stayed at So-hold till Saturd 12th and then I went to Easthampton & Robert & his wife & Stephen & Abigail.I Stayed their till Saturd. 26, & yn I came to So-hold & left Abigail at Easthampton to Live a while with Ms White."
So, William, even though John m. a Southold girl, I suspect it was probably Robert from who you are descended.Hope you can make the tie.Blessings-Chuck
