Requested move

[edit]

{ {requested move/dated|Thomas Powell (1641–1722)} }

Thomas Powell (1665–1731)Thomas Powell (1641–1722) – The information in this article is about the TP who lived 1641-1722, and who is red-linked in Bethpage Purchase. I am unaware of anything that makes TP (1665-1731) notable. -- JimWae (talk) 20:33, 19 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

  • Could you please provide a reference or two? The article is unreferenced and the dob/dod dates were only changed in the most recent edit to the article [1], and that was by a very new editor. Jenks24 (talk) 18:52, 20 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
  • Sources disagree on whether he was born in Wales, England[1] or in Connecticut.[2]

Good, I can't believe anyone will have a problem, I've put a notability tag on the other TP, his son. Cannot find any trace of notability. But not sure if afD or redirect is the correct way to deal with it. Because so many other sources hoover up WP (including mistakes) the wrong Thomas Powell now has WP-copiers notability...

Rim of Woods

[edit]

Deed No 2. 12 March 1699

Land, bounded southwesterly by Oysterbay Neck line, west by the lines or bounds of the Town of Hempstead, so running northerly to a certain marked tree of Rob't Williams his bounds, thence along by a Ridge of Trees between the bushy plains and the great plains until it comes to a swamp or hole of water called by the Indian name of Mosscopas near the Mannetto hill; east by Thomas Powells (former purchase of ) land.

Not clear this is a purchase from the Indians. It appears to include Plainedge, most of western Bethpage ,and parts of Plainview --JimWae (talk) 00:38, 25 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Alleged indenture

[edit]

Thomas Powell was an attorney to Captain Thomas Matthews of Huntington, NY. The referenced court deposition clearly indicates that Powell was in service (indentured) to Matthews. Reference to his masters book, means the books of Matthews. See the article by the Huntington Town Historian Robert C. Hughes. https://huntingtonhistory.com/2022/05/07/thomas-powell/ 98.11.97.194 (talk) 15:33, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
