Notes for Jeremiah Genung:
In 1698 he was living in Flushing, New York with wife Martha and one child, name spelled Genning. During the famine of 1711 he was living in Flushing. At the death of his father in 1714, he and his brother John shared their father's farm. Moved to Westchester County, New York between 19 Aug 1722 and 30 Nov 1724. He crossed the narrow neck of the western end of Long Island Sound, opposite Flushing, to Cornell Neck or Old Ferry Point, to the land owned by the Cornell and Willett families, or to the old village of Westchester, the center of the Pell famility property. The name Westchester was used as a general term for the most western of the New English settlements, an indefinite area between the Bronx and Byram Rivers along Long Island Sound. Like the British towns of Long Island, of which Flushing was one, Westchester became a part of the colony of New York upon its establishment at the capture of the Dutch New Netherland by the English. The name Westchester was later definitely given to a smaller area, the town of Westchester, that is now a part of the Borough of the Bronx and the name was also given to the much larger area, the county of Westchester. Was living in North Castle, Westchester County, New York when he made his will, and probably died there.
His will was made 8 Sep 1746: "In the name of God, Amen, the 8 of September 1746, I Jeremiah Gonnong of North Castle in Westchester County, being nery sick, I leave to my wife Martha all estate of every kind and make her executor."
Witnesses: John Gonnong, Gilbert Arnold, William Firth. Proved June 20, 1748-9.
