Notities over Thomas Brush

Thomas Brush, born about 1630 in England, died 1670, Huntington, Long Island, New York. Around 1650 he married Rebecca Concklyne, born about 1630, probably died 9 April 1670, daughter John Concklyne and Elizabeth Alseabrook.
Thomas was in Southold, Long Island, New York by 1653. Rebecca's parents came to Salem, Massachusetts, in 1640 and remained there at least until 1649. It is said that John Concklyne and his brother Ananias were the first glassblowers in the New World.
In 1640 the New Haven Colony in Connecticut purchased land from the natives and founded Southold, Long Island, in New York, which probably received its name from Southold, Suffolk County, England. Most of the original purchasers came in that year from Hingham, Norfolkshire, England. By 1642 their homes and meeting houses were built. Volume 1 of the Southold Town Record (1653) says that "Thomas Brush was the first owner of his home lot." The lot was on the west side of the village off of Town Street between Horton's Lane and Beckwith Avenue. Thomas is mentioned as being "prominent and upright in character."
In Huntington, Thomas became one of the community leaders. He was especially involved in land settlements, as in 1663 when he was chosen with Thomas Weeks and Isaac Platt "to take a vew of all lands layd out in feldes and to record the ownar and the quantity he has taken up in the town booke."
In 1665 Thomas and two others were sent with a native called Chickinoe to the South Meadow to find and to fix the boundaries of land bought from the Massapaqua people. Thomas was also one of the people who conferred with the chief concerning South Neck.
Towards the end of his life, Thomas was chosen as Constable which was considered a position of great authority and honor. A constable was elected every year from among the previous year's overseers. The constable had power to establish the tax rate, nominate candidiates for military offices, and they also chose the mininster of the town church. Court could not be held except at the constable's call. The constable had general oversight of all the civil, military and religious matters of the community.
When Thomas and Rebecca died, they were no doubt buried in Huntington's old burial ground. The original markers were of wood rather than stone and have long since decayed.
Incidentally, Brush Lane is in the West Neck section of the town of Huntington overlooking Lloyd's Harbor. Here is where many of the early Brushes lived.
