Hempstead LI. "Jonas and Jonas Jr subsequently settled at Huntington, LI, and were 
both living there in 1675. The Jonas, therefore, who accompanied John Ogden to 
Northampton, and, in 1665, to this town, must have been a son of Edward, and a

Jonas, Sen." This Jonas is the one who was appt a deputy. Had a son Samuel. His
