East Hampton History

As for Bezaleel, his "nuncupative" (oral) will recorded in the Suffolk County Clerk's office at Riverhead, L.I., gives these facts: His wife was Elizabeth Howell, sister of Arthur Howell of Southampton; he was brother of Joseph and Jonathan Osborn of East Hampton. He died at the home of his brother Joseph in East Hampton in 1686; the will mentions no children, although he may have had a daughter who married Ralph Dayton. East Hampton Town Records mention Bezaleel and his "share of whale," 1677. Brookhaven Town Records, under date Sept. 8, 1679, show that Bezaleel Osborn of East Hampton gives 50 acres of upland and 15 acres of meadow in Brookhaven to Ralph Dayton. The Daytons, Osborns, and Bakers all came from the same part of Kent. Tradition says that the grave of Bezaleel Osborn in South End Burying Ground, was marked by read cedar posts bearing the initials B.O.2
"Bezaleel, b. May 8, 1650, at Braintree, d. Feb., 1686/7, at East Hampton; m. Elizabeth ___. She m. 2nd Josiah Stanborough, who moved to Elizabeth Town ca. 1690..." Bezaleel wrote his will 11 Feb 1687, proved 7 Mar 1687, naming "his wife Elizabeth, his brothers Jonathan & Joseph, and the two sons of his brother-in-law Arthur Howell (Suffolk Co., L. I., Clerk's Office Session Book No. 1, p. 243)."[2] He had owned land in New Castle, Delaware, which Josiah and his brothers sold.

OUR HISTORY

Shelter Island's Sylvester Manor was established in 1651 as a provisioning plantation for the Barbadian sugar trade. Originally owned by an Anglo Dutch sugar consortium and worked by enslaved Africans, indentured or paid Native American and European laborers, it has, since its inception, played an ever-changing but always important role in the culture of food. In the last two centuries it was an Enlightenment-era farm and then, the country estate of one of America’s first food industrialists, Professor Eben Norton Horsford, inventor of baking powder and the father of modern food chemistry. In the twenty-first century, it became the non-profit Sylvester Manor Educational Farm, which is dedicated to bringing sustainable agricultural practices back to Shelter Island.
The Manor is notable for being one of the few places in America that has been in the same family since it was first developed in the mid-1600s.
