| 566 | Somehow I don't agree that this is the correct placement of this Thomas Farrington who named his sons, viz, Thomas, born about 1740, Benjamin, born about 1742, Robert, born about 1744, Jonas, born May 26, 1754, and Marston, born 1756. The subject Thomas did not name a son Edmund, Edward, Matthew, etc. Margaret's father Cornelius Marston refers to his daughter Margaret as NOW the wife of Thomas Farrington of Westchester County, and refers to his property at Jamaica, Flushing and "elsewhere." Meanwhile, we have Thomas Farrington (9) born about 1650, Flushing, who was owed money in 1675 from George Tippett of Yonkers, according to the latter's inventory taken in 1675. Thomas Valentine, born November 29, 1712, died December 21, 1796, Westchester County, was a son of Matthew Farrington and Hannah Embree, who married Susan Oakley. One of Matthew Farrington's daughters, Jane Farrington, born in Flushing, New York married a John NORRIS. Until substantiated with further documented information, this cannot be accepted as an accurate genealogy. | Farrington, Thomas (I6296)

| 584 | The name Pontenier is French, beyond doubt, however, there is an absence of the name among the French that settled in New York, and therefore, must be a corruption of another French name. It is the strong belief that the names is "Parmentier" which took on the spelling of Palmatier, which was the name of a family that settled in Green County, New York. Source: Read Arnaud. The will of Willem Fitsoor, Duchess County, New York, mentioned his wife, Neeltie, daughter of Teunis Swart, various children and their spouses, including his daughter, Ariantie, wife of Daman Palmetier. The will was proved in Dutchess County before Justice Barent van Kleek, 29 Oct 1726. Ibid. "Parmentier was the name of one of the French families that came over with David DeMarest, Frederick de Vaux, Abraham Hasbroucq, Chretien Duyou, Mathese Blanchen, Meynard Journeay, Thonnet Terrin, Antoin Crispel, David Usillie, Phillippe Casier, Bourgeion Broucard, Simon le Febre, Justice Durie and Louis du Bois, all of whom spent years in Germany under the protection of the German Prince of Mannheim prior to moving to New York, as did the Houpline /van Oblinus, Vermeille/Vermilye families. This association with Lutheran Germans must have made the Huguenots comfortable with the Lutheran service of worship." Ibid. | Pontenier, Mary (I0643)

| 591 | Thomas Burling, Joiner: Family, Friends and Furniture, by Jane Thompson-Stahr, M.S.W., published in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol. 127, pp 24-29. Ebenezer left a will dated September 18, 1758, proved October 13, 1758, New York County Wills 21:139. His wife died after April 4, 1776 when she was mentioned in the will of her father. A notice in the "New York Post-Boy, November 6, 1758, "Ebenezer Burling, dec'd - house, farm and mill in Eastchester for sale by execs., Richard and Caleb Lawrence." (Kenneth Scott, "Genealogical Data From the New York Post-Boy 1743=1773", National Gen. Soc., Publication 35, 1970) Ebenezer and Mary were placed "under dealings" by Flushing MM for "undoe familiarity before marriage" (Flushing MM, Men's Minutes, 6 October 1737, HRR), their first child being born some four months after their marriage in 1737. They made amends, as Ebenezer and his wife for fornication was accepted" (MID 3:13, #127). Their first and second children were duly reported in the Friends minutes indicating they were reinstated. Nor was Mary the only Lawrence to get into marital difficulty with the Friends for her parents, Richard and Hannah (Bowne) Lawrence were condemned for "giving so much way to the marriage of daughter Elizabeth" who apparently married "out of meeting". In a monthly meeting held at Flushing the 7th day 12th month 1739. . . Hannah Lawrence accepted her fault in what misstep she took about her daughter Elizabeth's marriage and condemned it to the satisfaction of said meeting" (Flushing MM, Woman's Meeting 12 September 1739, HRR; also, FHL 0017354). No further children of Ebenezer and Mary are listed in Friends. Sometime between 1739 and 1746, births of Hannah and Thomas, respectively, in Flushing, it appears that Ebenezer and Mary moved from Flushing to Westchester County, New York since Thomas was born there. The next year Ebenezer purchased for 245 pounds, "seven acres of land, two acres of salt meadow, house, barn (and) grist mill," in the town of Eastchester. (Westchester Co.
