• Notes

  I have two Benjamins m. Mary Paine - probably the same person. Both sons of John Vail but differing mothers. Both John's are possible parents so needs investigation. (JTC) Refugee from Southhold to Guilford, CT. In Sept and Oct., 1776, with 11 passengers and goods, he was brought over by Capt. David Landon. He is mentioned as Capt. of a ship (Page 239). In 1776, he sold the sloop "Polly" to Samuel Brown of Guilford; Brown loaned the sloop to Capt. David Landon, and the latter brought 237 refugees, and their effects from L.I. to CT. In Oct. 1776, he brought other of his goods over, along with Ebenezer Jennings. In Apr., 1780, he asked leave to return to L.I. with his family; which was granted. On May 8, 1780, he asked leave to return with his family, effects and stock; which was granted. Census of 1776: Males - above 16 years, 2; under 16, 4. Females-above 16, 2; under 16, 3.
