Southold's 250th Anniversary Celebration

• From C. B. MOORE'S ADDRESS:

“Robert Jackson's daughter Martha in 1667, married Nathaniel Coles, of Oyster Bay. His daughter Sarah became the wife of Nathaniel, the son of Thomas Moore, shipwright, of Southold, and received a bequest by Robert Jackson's will in 1683. He, Nathaniel, became an active ship master, was employed to carry furniture to Lloyds Neck in 1678, lived until 20th April, 1698, acquired land in Westchester County and left a will, in which he called Jeremiah Vail his brother-in-law. It was hastily supposed from this that he had married a sister of Jeremiah Vail; but this was afterwards found to be an error. Vail had married Anne, the widow of Nathaniel's brother, Benjamin Moore, and in that way was his brother-in-law. Sarah, daughter of Robert Jackson, survived Nathaniel Moore, and died his widow on 10th June, 1733. Their son, Nathaniel Moore, Jr., died unmarried in 1699. Their daughter Hannah married John Terry, son of Richard and left many descendants. Their daughter Abigail married Isaac Overton. Their daughter Elizabeth married Christopher Youngs, and their daughter Deborah married John Boisseau, the Huguenot. There was another daughter, probably unmarried”
