  • Town of East Hampton Section VIII. Historic Resources Policy
    SECTION VIII HISTORIC RESOURCES POLICY #23 Town of East Hampton LWRP Historic Resources Policy #23 A. INTRODUCTION History shapes a community in subtle ways, colors the assumptions of community life, enriches and enlivens the sense of place for residents and visitors alike. Historic and cultural resources are the touchstones of tradition. They can be housed in museums, monuments and structures, but the real keys to continuity with the past, and the underpinnings of a viable future, are a community's awareness of its cultural history. The Inventory, Analysis and Historic Resource Policy #23 that follow are intended to promote an ethic of respect for the past, impress the need for study and quality information, and instill pride in the community's cultural and historic resources. In 1998 East Hampton Town celebrates the 350th anniversary of its founding by English settlers, the historical mainstream of present society. There have been other streams too, aboriginal settlements that date to thousands of years B.C., a heritage that left its mark in the Indian place names that abound in the community, and the wealth of archaeological sites the Town struggles to protect from pervasive development. Buildings and structures remind us of the colonial era; only the subtleties of the archaeological record and the oral history of native descendants remains to preserve aboriginal history. Since colonial times the Town has participated in several of the great tides of American history in its journey from a subsistence agricultural and fishing community to a premier coastal resort. The country's military history was acted out here beginning with the American Revolution.

  • Transcript of Lecture Delivered By
    Transcript of Lecture Delivered by Sherrill Foster, 4 Fireplace Road, East Hampton, NY 11937 on Thursday, September 27, 2001 at The East Hampton Library MERCHANTS AND EARLY EAST HAMPTON* This paper is about commercial contacts and their importance to early East Hampton. I am not the first to suggest that trade and commerce are vital to the origins of the area. Timothy Breen has said this, as has Richard Dunn.[1]passim. NY 1999. The major players are - much to no one’s surprise - Lion Gardiner and John Mulford. I am pleased to be presented by such an organization as the East Hampton Library. I want to thank Tom Twomey and Diana Dayton for this opportunity to present the results of many years of research into the early history of East Hampton. East Hampton as a provisioning port on Block Island Sound, that great water highway, was founded by merchants - settlers interested in making money. Contrary to what romantics like to believe, Lion Gardiner acquired the island in typical colonial fashion, first in May of 1639, by purchasing it with gifts and a deed signing with the Montauk Indians, notarized by that Boston lawyer, Thomas Lechford.[2]1931, pp. 92-95. Then, again in March of 1640, he purchased the island through James Forrett/Farrett[3](Sag Harbor, 1887) Vol I, p. 1., the agent for the Earl of Sterling (William Alexander). Gardiner had to purchase his island from the owner of this grant, the Earl of Sterling, who had just been granted Long Island with other islands along the southern coast of New England.

INTRODUCTION II. GLOSSARY OF TERMS (FOUND IN OR RELEVANT TO THIS REPORT) III. AVAILABLE LEGAL & HISTORIC DOCUMENTS PERTAINING TO GARDINERS ISLAND, AND COMPARABLE EXAMPLES IV. CARTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE & CONSIDERATIONS V. OPINION ON TITLE TO CARTWRIGHT/RAM ISLAND AND RESPECTIVE FORESHORE RIGHTS AND LANDS UNDER WATER ON AND IMMEDIATELY ADJACENT TO BOTH ISLANDS AND SHOALS VI. CONCLUSION I. INTRODUCTION: In September 2018 I was retained, as an independent researcher, by the Trustees of the Freeholders and Commonalty of the Town of East Hampton, N.Y., to investigate both the land title and littoral boundary of Cartwright/Ram Island, located in the shoals immediately south of Gardiners Island. As an archivist in the East Hampton Library Long Island Collection for over thirteen years, I am intimately knowledgeable of this vast, comprehensive collection, which includes numerous Gardiner family and East Hampton Township material, both manuscript and published. Four years ago, I assisted the Town of East Hampton Town Clerk’s Office with their important municipal records, dating back to 1649, which culminated in an arrangement of said material to be placed in the said Long Island Collection, whereby myself and my colleagues systematically cataloged and digitized said material. In my estimation, 90-95% of the historic municipal records of said township are now available in the Collection. Additionally, I have over 18 years of land surveying experience, both in the field and with land records research.
