• Notes

  (Medical):\par Jonas came to Huntington from Oram in the parish of Halifax, County York.´uª0 ´uª0 He was´uª0 ´uª0 called "Jonas Wood Oram" to distinguish him from his cousin, Jonas Wood´uª0 ´uª0 Halifax.´uª0 ´uª0 He had the title "Mr."´uª0 ´uª0 and from there went to Hempstead Long Island. In 1644, he was one of the patentees´uª0 ´uª0 of´uª0 ´uª0 Hempstead. (Hoff notes that Jonas Wood and John Ogden were the only two of´uª0 ´uª0 Hempstead's five patentees on Stamford records.) He was on the list of proprietors of´uª0 ´uª0 Hempstead in 1647.´uª0 ´uª0 Jonas was Deputy from Huntington, and on 17 May 1658 he was at New Haven. In´uª0 ´uª0 1665, he was a member of 1st Assembly, Hempstead.´uª0 ´uª0 Jonas Wood, William Rogers and Thomas Wilkes of Huntington made the second or´uª0 ´uª0 "Eastern Purchase." It extended eastward from the First Purchase to the Nissequogue´uª0 ´uª0 (Smithtown) River, and its bounds were even more loosely defined than were those of´uª0 ´uª0 the First Purchase. The Indians reserved liberty to hunt and plant therein, and in´uª0 ´uª0 addition to a few garments, were given "seven quarts of licker and aleven ounces of´uª0 ´uª0 powther." Overlapping boundaries of various Indian purchases caused many´uª0 ´uª0 disputes;´uª0 ´uª0 the east boundary of the Eastern Purchase overlapped with land on the west´uª0 ´uª0 side of the´uª0 ´uª0 river that Richard Smith had purchased from the Indians.´uª0 ´/uª (Research):\par Immigration: \par Resided: living with his father Edmund\par living with his father Edmund\par living with his father Edmund\par \par
