About Timothy A. Halstead
In 1676 he was involved in rioting in Cowneck in an attempt to throw off men who had taken possession of the area. They plead not guilty but were found guilty in court.
From "Colonial Families of Long Island, New York and Connecticut", Volume Three, by Herbert Furman Seversmith.
He resided in Hempstead all of his life. In 1658, he was in a calf list for five calves; and on 29 November of that year took up six acres of land. He maintained five cows in the east herd of the town in the same year. He was a holder of patent rights in Hempstead, this making him a proprietor of the town.
He was chosen one of the townsmen by lot, 26 February, 1660, which was confirmed by the local magistrates; and entered his earmark for cattle, 5 January, 1665.
Beginning in 1664, he appears in a number of business transactions and in drawings of land. In that year, Timothy with his brother Joseph joined a group of men who purchased a large tract of land in the Newark Bay and Staten Island Sound district of northeastern New Jersey called Achter Koll or Back Bay. They contributed about four pounds each to the syndicate on the condition that, if they did not like the part of land assigned to them when it was divided, they could withdraw, which they did subsequently. Timothy was witness in the trial of a suit over this land purchase at Elizabethtown, New Jersey 17 November, 1685.
He bought a horse of Robert Marvin 3 May, 1665 and sold to the latter a mare at the same time. On 22 July, 1671 he exchanged meadows with Thomas Ireland and sold land to John Tredwell and to Samuel Embree. He is listed as drawing various lots of land in the town 9 April, 1677, in June (estimated date), 1678 and on 25 December, 1678. He sold land to Samuel Pine 5 June, 1687. On 2 October, 1676 he was one of the signers of a round robin distributed among certain citizens of Hempstead who bound themselves to stand together against parties who had taken possession of "the Nick commonly called Ye Great Neck". As a result of the physical conflict between opposing parties, five of the villagers of Hempstead were tried for riot. One of these was Timothy Halstead, either senior or junior, probably senior. Those arraigned pleaded not guilty; but the court, after having heard the evidence, found them in the wrong. In a court held before the Constable and Overseers 5 January, 1676, Cornelius Mott was plaintiff in an action of the case against Timothy "Hallsted", defendant; and on 5 April, 1676, the town records report Halstead's testimony in a suit between Samuel Denton and John Oke (i.e., Jan Aukeszen van Nuys). John Bedell was plaintiff in a case against Timothy Halstead and Daniel Denton, 4 April, 1677.
He contributed two pounds to the support of the minister (the Rev. Jeremiah Hobart) in a rate list dated 24 May, 1682. Later references are few. He testified in a suit presented at court 2 August, 1682, and between Cornelius Mott and William Wyatt; and entered another earmark for livestock 13 November, 1684. On 11 July, 1691 he signed a petition of one John Stuard to have the town grant land to the latter. On 3 March, 1700 his son-in-law Richard Valentine referred to land on which Timothy Halstead was then still living in Hempstead.
Timothy Halstead died in March, 1703 at Hempstead, New York. The inventory of his estate was taken 10 March, 1703 (1702-1703) and administration of the effects was granted to the oldest son Timothy. He was buried probably at Hempstead.
