BY DANNY?McCARTHY
CLEMENT M. HEALY's Images of America THAT WAS COPYRIGHTED TWICE IN 2005. THE FIRST ONE WAS SO IN-CORRECT LISTING THE BIRTH AND DEATH DATES OF SOUTHOLDER EZRA L'HOMMEDIEU. I INFORMED ERIN VOSGIEN OF ARCADIA PUBLISHING COMPANY THAT PRINTS THAT BOOK AND SHE SAID SHE WOULD LET CLEMENT M. HEALY KNOW THAT THE BOOK WOULD BE RE-PRINTED.
WELL IT WAS YES AGAIN IN 2005 HAVING THE DEATH DATE ONLY OF EZRA L'HOMMEDIEU AND NOT HIS BIRTH DATE.
~ Folks there is so much in-correct with this paperback. ~
ONE EXAMPLE IS THAT SHELTER ISLAND IS NOT A PART OF THE NORTH FORK. IT WAS FORMERLY A PORTION OF SOUTHOLD TOWN -YES- YET IN 1730 IT BECAME ITS OWN OFFICIAL DESTINATION SEPARATE FROM SOUTHOLD TOWN.
1730: Twenty families lived on the Island by this time. Shelter Island formally became a town. Before Shelter Island became its own township, it was under the management of Southold Town on the north fork of Long Island. [Here's a capital idea: SHELTER ISLAND-info SHOULD'VE HAD THIS: THAT SHELTER ISLAND BECAME ITS TERRITORY IN 1730. }

Laurel, Jamesport, Northville, Aquebogue, Roanoke, Riverhead, Calverton, and Baiting Hollow) was described as "Aquebogue".
Frankly Speaking
Farming was so crucial to the North Fork. The farming hamlet of Laurel was originally known as Franklinville. The name Franklinville was a tribute to Benjamin Franklin. It was realized that the name Franklinville was taken by another New York State town. And so, the residents changed the name of the North Fork Franklinville to Laurel. Thus, the post office name became the Laurel post office.

Southold Town Historian Antonia Booth reminds us that Southold Town reached all the way from Plum Island to Wading River until 1792. According to the Rev. Charles E. Craven’s A History of Mattituck, Long Island, New York: “When the town of Riverhead was set off in 1792, the west line of the Howell farm {in Aquebogue} became the dividing line between Southold and Riverhead.” When the Riverhead Town was formed from Southold, a hamlet known as the “Middle District” was divided by the new town lines. The Middle District became known as Franklinville (named after Benjamin Franklin). The Franklinville Academy was there and at five dollars a term, boarding students from all over Long Island received a fine education.
“Franklinvillagers” didn’t have a Post Office. Mail came to Jamesport. The Franklinvillagers wanted a Post Office of their own in 1898. They learned that in Cattaraugus County, 50 miles southeast of Buffalo, there was a Franklinville Post Office already. “Sequana” was an Indian name proposed, meaning spring. “Laurel” was suggested as well, and the hamlet was renamed with the residents calling it Laurel. The Laurel Post Office opened on February 5, 1898 at Oliver A. Atwood’s General Store, as Mattituck-Laurel Historical Society & Museums Curator/Historian Norman Wamback shared in his May 2008 Peconic Bay Shopper article all about post offices on the North Fork. Oliver Atwood’s General Store is now the location of Elbow Two Restaurant.
Franklinville Academy opened in 1833 and after 57 years of uninterrupted county-wide educational service, Franklinville Academy closed its doors. Esther P. Boucher De Graff wrote in her August 1954 paper Old Franklinville: “I might mention in passing that the Franklinville district school stood on the corner of Main Road and Aldrich Lane, the site originally chosen for the church. There was a large rock in the front yard on which the schoolchildren sharpened their pencils during recess.”?

A fascinating book about the north part of Long Island, it's history and cemeteries. Some interesting stories are told of how this part of the island was settled, including information about 11 towns. There are quite a few individual gravestones pictured, I would have liked even more of them plus a bit more history about them. This is …?Read more
