| Notes |
- The Case for One Jonathan Parker
The occurance of two Jonathan Parkers at Belle Vue in 1784, one called junior, as well as the fact that no other records suggest more than one Jonathan Parker in Charlotte County, has led some to conclude that Senior was an old man who died soon after his arrival in New Brunswick. Furthermore, it has been suggested that he is the the progenitor of all the Campobello Parkers. In fact, no records point to Jonathan's age, or relationship to other Parkers on Campobello. I propose that there was one Jonathan Parker. He traveled with his family on the Mary, arriving in Saint John in 1783. He was granted land and lived there until about 1796. At that time he moved to Sussex, Kings. I believe that he made a petition in 1785 for land in the Schoodic, perhaps to be closer to his relatives on Campobello. His appearance on the 1784 list at Belle Vue may have captured his arrival in the area to secure land. We do know that his petition for Schoodic land was not granted, and he remained in Saint John for many more years.
- I'm not sold on the fact that Jonathan Parker m Mary Patterson 1782 on Staten Island. It may be the right couple. But if he is the same Jonathan Parker victualled in Saint John, all the children might not be Mary Patterson's.

To the Honourable General Bruce commanding? upon Staten Island, the Complaint & Petition of Samuel Ward of said Island
Humbly sheweth
That about three Months ago the Complainer bought a Horse at a public Auction or Vendue of Household goods Farming Utensils, Horses, horned Cattle &c, all supposed & allowed to be the lawful Property of John Ford, a Refugee from New Jersey, which Horse so bought, the Complainer did use as his own lawful Property, till about Six Week ago, when a certain Jonathan Jacqueiz from Rhaway, in New Jersey, came to the Complainers House, and finding the Complainer standing by his Stable, ask'd him some Questions concerning a Horse, which he said had been stole from him the said Jacqueiz, above a year and a half ago - Upon viewing the Complainers Horses, he said, the Horse which he the Complainer had bought at the Auction or Vendue before mentioned, had been his Property about two years before, and that he, the said Jonathan Jacqueiz, must still have him - The Complainer reply'd, That he must first prove his Property by good Witnesses; and then, supposing the Horse had been taken as lawful Booty during the War, if a general Exchange of such plundered Horses should take Place, upon both Sides, he should have his Horse in that Way, and not otherwise, unless he could take him by Violence, which it appears he intended to do for the Petitioner soon after going from home upon his lawful Business, the said Jonathan Jacqueiz, with five men more, all arm'd with Bludgeons or Clubs, returned in about three Hours (the same Day) and having secured the Horse with a Bridle which the said Jacqueiz had in his Pocket for the Purpose, did forcibly take him away from the Complainer's Field, threatning & bidding Defiance to the Complainer's Servant or hired Man, who was then present and plowing in the Field - which hired Servant, with the Complainers Son, remonstrated against such proceedings, and their taking the Horse by open violence in that audacious Manner - but all to no Purpose for owing to their superior Numbers, and arm'd as before said, the Horse was brought off in a kind of lawful Triumph, in the Sight also of two other spectators - Upon the Complainer's enquiring at John Ford, before mentioned, how he came by the Horse he affirm'd that he had bought him of one Jonathan Parker a Refugee, who said that the Horse in Question, had pass'd thro several hands, having had sundry Masters since he was taken from the Jersies - And that he had been first brought from thence by Capt Robins, a Partizan of Staten Island, who not only had a Commission in Order to distress the Enemys Country, as they incessantly endeavour'd to plunder ours and that the said Horse, so taken from New Jersey, was by a proper Tryal deem'd a lawful Prize & legally condemn'd accordingly; so that the Complainer might in the strictest sense justly esteem him his Lawful Right & property; consequently the taking him away an open Insult and Robbery
May it therefore please your Honour, if the said Horse shall be found upon Examination to belong to the Petitioner, to take such Measures, as he pray recover him again, or the Money paid for him at Vendue, which was twenty one Pounds fifteen shills New York Currency, and your Petitioner shall ever pray

Where is Ward's Point?
Updated on May 7, 2015 at 4:16 PM Posted on May 5, 2015 at 2:00 PM
LFS Ward's Point
The remains of a dock from oystering days at Ward's Point. (Clay Wollney)
By Clay Wollney
STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- To get to Ward's Point, you have to go about as far south as possible -- without leaving the borders of New York state.
Located at the southernmost tip of Staten Island, Ward's Point is part of Conference House Park. There is even a "South Pole" standing near Ward's Point to mark it as the southernmost site in the state.
In pre-colonial times Ward's Point and the area that is now Conference House Park were favorite spots of the native Lenape people. The convergence of the Raritan and Arthur Kill rivers as they empty into the shallow opening of Raritan Bay creates an inviting habitat for oysters and clams. The Lenape took full advantage of these mollusks as a food source and built temporary villages near the shore during the summer and fall.
Farther inland, deer, turkey, heath hen and other game animals provided sources of meat.
In 1676, Christopher Billopp, a British naval captain, was granted 932 acres of land at the site, which became Bentley Manor. The property increased to 1,600 acres by 1687. The two-story house that Billopp built for his family on the property was given the title of Conference House in 1776, when his great-grandson, also named Christopher Billopp, hosted the only attempt at a peace conference after the Continental Army's defeat in the Battle of Long Island.
The peace effort failed, and Billopp, a faithful British loyalist, sold off parcels of his property before the Revolutionary War's end. Samuel Ward, a local farmer, bought the house and 373 acres, and the Ward family continued to live in the house until 1835, giving the tip of the island the family name.
Over the years, ownership passed through various hands. The remains of docks along the shore attest to the once-vibrant oyster and clam industry that dominated the south shore of the island.
In the 1930s, the area was part of a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project that constructed gravel roadbeds and sidewalks in preparation for residential development. The project ended in 1940, but further development never happened. The woodlands returned to the wild, until the Parks Department renovated and upgraded the park from 2002 to 2004.
Today Ward's Point is once again a natural area, though evidence of the human side of its history can be found here and there. Its sandy dunes are covered with dune grasses and seaside goldenrod. Walking off the trails here should be avoided, because the loose sand makes damage to plant life inevitable.
In the fall, burr grass, with its spiky seeds, is almost unavoidable. Removing the seeds from socks and pants legs is painful.
Wildlife here changes with the seasons. Migratory birds wander northward in the spring, and horseshoe crabs come to the shore to mate in May and June at the full and new moons. During low tide, intertidal organisms, including mud snails, oyster drills, hermit crabs, killifish, and green crabs can be found.
In the fall, monarch butterflies and migratory dragonflies congregate on Ward's Point in large numbers before they cross the bay, as do birds. The New York Audubon Society's website refers to the area as a "little Cape May," since Ward's Point is a natural bottleneck for songbirds wary of crossing the bay on their migration.
Waterfowl have no such restrictions and many stop in the bay as they go south.
On Saturday, May 16, I will be leading a walk to Ward's Point from 2 to 4 p.m. The walk begins at the parking lot by the Conference House Visitors Center and will proceed along Burial Ridge to Wards Point. Along the way we will have the opportunity to observe the local wildlife and evidence of human habitation over the centuries. Dr. Ginny Mantello, Director of Health and Wellness for the Office of the Borough President and Dr. Deeptha, an Infectious disease doctor will be convening the walk with a short discussion on Lyme's disease and other tick Bourne diseases. This is a part of the "Walk with the Doctor" initiative which is a collaborative effort between the office of the Borough President and the Richmond County Medical Society.

Thomas [Keefe] petitioned for land in 1812. He asked for lot number 5 on the east side of Grand Bay, opposite Brandy Point in Westfield parish, Kings Co., N.B. At that time he stated that he had been born in New Brunswick, was 27 years of age, married, and with one child. In a later petition, dated 5 August 1823, 12 Thomas stated that he had settled on lots 5 and 6 opposite Brandy Point; apparently the same lot no. 5 he applied for 11 years earlier. In this petition he asks for both lots 5 and 6, as well as an additional half-lot adjoining number 5 originally owned by Isaiah Parker, sold to Benjamin Darby(?), who left N.B. some 25 years ago. At this time (1823) Thomas
stated he had a wife and six children, and was a native of New Brunswick, and had lived on these lots since the fall of 1813.13
