As was the custom of the day, Thomas' father apprenticed him to Thomas Powell of Huntington. When Henry Whitson died in 1669, Thomas Powell became the guardian of 17 year old Thomas Whitson. Later, Thomas Powell became a devout Quaker and so did Thomas Whitson. Many of Thomas Whitson's descendants, even to this day, were and are Quakers.

----------------------------------------
Thomas Whitson was apprenticed to Thomas Powell and upon his father Henry's death 17 year old Thomas agreed to the appointment of Thomas Powell as his Guardian.
The following is on record at Huntington 1670:
Whereas, Henry Whitson of Huntington, deceased in the year 1669, and after the will was proved according to law, the estate being divided by order and consent of the widow, of Henry, and Thomas Whitson son of deceased, and 2d Thomas Whitson being under age, -he with the consent of his Grand-father Foster and the rest of his friends have thought good to make choice of Thomas Powell of Huntington to be his Trustee and Guardian of him the said Thomas Whitson, for the care and supervision of the Estate of him the said Thomas Whitson until he accomplish the age of one and twenty years, during which time the aforesaid, Thomas Whitson doth promise not to bargain sell or alienate any of his Estate without the leave and consent of his said Guardian, but in all things expedient be subject to his advice and counsel,

THOMAS WHITSON

In 1679. It was agreed that Thomas Powell and Thomas Whitson take an addition to their land at Cow Harbor.
In 1689. Thomas Powell gave a deed jointly with Thomas and Martha Whitson for a piece of land in Huntington.
In 1700. Thomas Powell gave Thomas Whitson a Deed for one third of all his Bethpage purchase of land, - and they together built the two houses which were afterwards their homes, and the homes of their respective descendants, for many, many years. The places are both owned by descendants of Thomas Powell to this day have never been out of the families.
In 1679 the Council ordered the Constable and Overseers -of Huntington to distrain for Church and Ministers Rates, but the order does not appear to have been attended to for several years.
Thomas Powell was Overseer in 1681. Same year we find charged against him for Ministers
Rates the follows sums, viz.:
1676. 1. 15. 00. 1679. 1. 10. 09.
1677. 1. 13. 03. 1680. 1. 02. 05.
1678. 1. 09. 06. 1681. 1. 04. 11.
Altogether L 8. 15. 10.
In 1692 he was ordered by a Writ from the King to appear at Court at Riverhead to show cause why this should not be taken from him per force. There does not appear to be any record of a settlement of the claim in any manner, and it is thought that the Authorities let the case drop out of
sight.
Meantime Thomas Powell sold his property in Huntington and bought a large tract of wilderness, of the Marsapaque Indians, called it Bethpage, took possession in 1688, built a house for his eldest son Thomas, (said house is now standing on the Bethpage turnpike, and has always been in possession of his descendants. Got his deed from the Indians in 1695, and as has been said sold one third to Thomas Whitson in 1700. Thomas Powell purchased a second plot of the Indians in 1699. The Deeds are both Recorded at Jamaica. Following is a copy of the boundaries of the two purchases, with the names and marks of Indians who made the sale.
