James Lloyd stayed in Boston, renting the manor to tenant farmers; but in 1711 James's son Henry moved there from Newport, R.I., and built the house shown here. Henry's son Henry apparently moved back to Boston, and inherited a share of the property after his father's death in 1763. I assume that the younger Henry, born in 1709, must have spent his childhood in the Long Island house.<br /><br />Henry (the younger)'s brother Joseph remained on Long Island and built another house in 1766, now occupied by the Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities. Joseph remained a patriot and fled to Connecticut during the war.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Charles Bahnenoreply@blogger.com
