New York, 1895
Mrs. Elizabeth Jervis died at Amityville Tuesday at the age of 100 years, 6 months and 2 days. Her father was a son of Colonel William Smith, governor of Tangiers, who, in 1690, purchased a strip of Long Island fifty miles wide and extending from the sound to the bay. This was known as Setauket.
