• Notes

  -PETER WENNER, of Hicksville, has purchased the old Daniel PETTY farm of 350 acres at Middle Island for $9,000. This farm has been in the PETTY family since 1772. Source: Brooklyn Standard Union, 1 April 1906, LONG ISLAND NOTES Plowed Fields and Historical Archaeology:The Petty Homestead, Department of Anthropology, SUNY at Stony Brook The area presently known as Middle Island was settled by farmers from Setauket around 1730. Originally, this settlement was known as Middletown because of its geographic location. Later the name was changed briefly to Brookhaven until 1820, when it acquired its present name of Middle Island. The first structure associated with the project area illustrated on the 1838 U.S. Coast map (Figure 3), indicates a road leading to a structure owned by "D. Petty". This single structure is set back approximately 1600 feet from the Middle Country Road within a cleared area probably used for farming. A deed and title search of the project area revealed that the owner of this 1838 structure was Daniel Petty Jr. eldest son of Daniel Petty, Sr. The last will and testament of Daniel Petty, Sr., dated February 15. 1799, provides insight into the lives of the first documented residents of the area now Birchwood Park. While the project area was originally part of the Brookhaven Purchase in 1655, title to the land prior to 1776 is uncertain. It is most likely, however, that Daniel Petty, Sr. was in possession of this parcel by at least 1776 when his name appears in the census of the township of Brookhaven (Anon. 1984). http://www.longwood.k12.ny.us/history/midisl/kent.htm Inscription: Age 54 y
