On 1 Nov at Please see the sources referenced and listed on Stephen Post Post On 30 Oct at Have added a source to the profiles of both John Post and his daughter Margaret Post.
The source added is an authored work, and it did not further reference the material, but does provide information to suggest the woman Margaret Post m. Caleb Abel was granddaughter of the elder immigrant, Stephen Post. Ooop, Margaret is reported the daughter, not wife, of this John Post, so perhaps Post and Post are a match.

Profile last modified 13 Jun Created 30 Dec There, perhaps, might have been found a clue to his history from the time of his arrival in Massachusetts until we pick up his record with that of the other settlers of Southampton in The names of the settlers who arrived during the first twelve months, were as follows: Most of the names mentioned above will be found in the histories of Lynn and other places, in the vicinity of Boston.
Many of the persons probably came to Boston with Governor Winthrop, some years before their removal to Long Island. They were generally of a superior class, and of greater intelli- gence than some who came subsequently to other towns, being both respectable in character and edu- cation. The same may be said of Sayre, Halsey, 62 Post Family. His name appears often in the records of the early history of the settlement. Att a towne meeting, there be- ing divers aprehension what way or means was best to be taken for preservation of ye towne, it is con- cluded by the major voat of the towne yt 7 men namely, Capt.

And allsoe it is ordered that if any of the said persons appeare not according to warneing, and have not such allegation as may bee to satisfaction of our magistrates they shall pay 2S.
At a towne meeting November 25, They found themselves mistaken, however, in the opinion of the Governor and Council, who October 8, declared the title to their lands forfeited, unless they should apply for a patent within a limited period. The matter was deferred under various pretexts, till the recapture of New Post Family. October 9, , the court referred their appli- cation to a committee to do what might be considered for the mutual advantage of both parties. They were received, accordingly, together with the towns of Easthampton and Southhold, which were thereupon erected into a shire or county, in which a county court was established, judges, and other civil, as well as military officers appointed, and a force sent over for their protection.
The Dutch used both persuasion and threats to bring them under subjection, in which they were unsuccessful. After the surrender of the province again to the English, in , these towns were anxious to preserve their alliance with Con- necticut, and even appointed a committee to petition the King for that purpose. But Sir Edmund Andros having arrived, required said towns to submit to the government of His Royal Highness the Duke of York, which, as they declined to do, his Excellency on the i8th of November, , peremptorily de- manded of them that the former overseers and con- stables should be restored to their offices, "Under the penalty of being declared rebels"; and he ordered the deputies who had signed a memorial to him on behalf of said towns, namely: John Mulford, John 66 Post Family.

John Post's commission as ensign is in the possession of his descendant, Abram S. Post, of Quogue, L. These Posts moved away and set- tled in New Jersey. William's will was adminis- tered in Perth Amboy in Jeremiah's name begins to appear in the Hemp- stead records in They had no children, and she left all her property to her cousin on her father's side, Harriet, wife of Capt. Rogers, and sister of Hon.
After that there is no record of Rich- ard in Southampton, and in 1 his name begins to appear in those of Hempstead as having inherited his brother Jeremiah's cattle "ear mark. The personal peculiarities of the family may be expressed by the Southampton saying: The Posts in Queens County. For more than two hundred years they and their descendants have dwelt in that part of old Queens that is now Nassau County.
Here and there one could find the tradition of visits from their kinsfolk near Southampton; just as remembrance of visits of far-ofif cousins from Queens County has been told to this generation by one of the Southampton POSTS. Leaving tradition, we find in the town records of the year It may well have been some of the first land bought by his great- great-uncle, Jeremiah. Cattle grazed in common on "the plains," as in- deed they did, not so long ago. Sometimes it is difficult to tell which is meant.
Earmark entered i. He was chosen one of the "Surveyors or Overseers of High Ways" in , and In March, , he requested "a highway Laid out. For they were now friends. We find their names in old leather-bound manuscript vol- umes, one of the oldest having as its title page: There is an inference that the former chose a Quaker wife, and accepted her faith for that reason: That place was usually given to the mother of the bride.
The name of the place had been changed to West- bury from the unborrowed, descriptive name of 8o Post Family. It was too good to keep.
One reads, "Also it is adjudged that a meeting shall be kept at the Woodedge. It is certain that he had a daughter, for we have the record of her marriage in "9th mo. Joseph's name is earlier mentioned, Also the next year in record of earmarks. Both Joseph and John were married before ; for the meeting then appointed a committee "to speak to Joseph and John Post about their going and marrying from amongst Friends. JOHN was disowned by Friends in for bearing arms. Of those who witnessed this marriage certificate were two John Posts and Jacob Post.
It was not till three years later that the Friends wrote, "ye 29th day of ye 8th mo. But Richard Post, not remaining among the Friends, there is an interval till the time of the eldest son, only filled by the order of his going. The memories of his personality that have been handed down relate to his later days; so that these gleanings from his younger energy are valuable. The enthusiasm of the Colonial Wars had sway when he was a young man. In , the meet- ing expressed disapproval of Henry Post for being Captain of Militia for one year.
Further we read, "21 of 5 mo Dear friends, these lines may inform you that I was educated partly under the care and Direction in my very young years until the De- cease of my mother and then I was left much to my own Liberty and after I came to the Estate and Con- dition of a man I was led away into Company and In- listed in the malitia Service and there Exercised my- self in that practice for about the space of one year. I desire to come under care of friends, "Henry Post. One may note, too, that the war was about over. His first home was where an old 84 Post Family. This land was recently found to have been his father's.
Tradition fancied his father lived near Wheatly. This old deed is extremely inter- esting from its marking a fact not known before, — that he was not the first of the name to follow the alternate occupation of a weaver. I have been told that Westbury was famed for some sorts of fine weav- ing, and that people came from a distance to have it done. At any rate, some of the napery is at New Utrecht to this day. Weir Mitchell, in his story, "Hugh Wynne Quacker," tells us all Quakers were obliged to learn a trade.
The records show that Richard and his sons were weavers, which seems to have been the principal occupation of the community at Hempstead. Highways aforesaid be it in Quan- tity more or Less. Here the remainder of his life was spent, and after him it was the lifelong home of his youngest son, James. And af- terward William Loines and Thomas Seaman made report to the meeting "that it was accomplished orderly and well. From the granddaughters we have pleasant de- scriptions of this old house, part of which is still standing.
Here his six sons grew to manhood. The eldest son, at the outbreak of the Revolution, is described as "a noble-looking lad, tall and athletic, and of a high spirit," — doubtless partook of the more positive hereditary temperament. There is a story of him when an old man, bending his keen, dark eyes to the cradles of his blue-eyed grandchildren and saying, "no black eyes yet!
There were English officers and soldiers who were quartered in the house. Major Crief died there.
Jack, who remained in the vicin- ity, became a picturesque reminder of 'old war times. It is a serious loss: Only "the blood-stains in the old East-room remained. He regained it next day over by the Sound. The Friends re- corded their "sufferings. Took from me 17s and 4 pence for not appearing to stand guard. It was in this year that, his granddaughter relates, he went with some other Friends to Nine Partners. On reaching the Continental lines they were stopped ; but on asking to see General Washington they were 88 Post Family.
Henry Post was called the "peacemaker" from his success in settling disputes for his neighbors. The wife of Henry Post was of an early Long Island family. She was a descendant of Edmund and Martha Titus, whose "memorials" are kept in manu- script by so many of their descendants. They both lived to great age, and Edmund Titus was one of the first settlers in Westbury. Born in England, in , in the "register of all the passengers which passed from ye Port of London for one whole yeare ending at Christmas Kather- ines age 35, uxor Hanna Titus Titus 8, Edmund 5.
Less is known of him. It was perhaps not quite what he hoped for, and rather unu- sual. Whether he had gone back to Nine Partners we do not know.

For account of Henry Post see page 83 and for chart of descendants see Appen- dix G. On ac- count of his predelictions in favor of the sect called Quakers, he was unable to enjoy the liberty he desired, and therefore resolved to try his fortunes in America.
He arrived here about the year , and made a purchase of land in a part of the town, which he called, from the place of his nativity, Westbury.

In the history of the "Old Fly Market" he is spoken of as follows: He studied the anatomy of the ani- mals which the men converted into food, as the sur- geon studies that of men. He was a man of educa- tion, yet his kind and truthful disposition, ofttimes by the unscrupulous, led him to be imposed upon. Alder- man Post is yet spoken of as having been an honest, conscientious and humane magistrate.

He is said to have possessed, from childhood, a remarkably quiet, ami- able and accommodating temper, yet was resolute and firm of purpose, industrious and active, both in mind and in body. He was never known to engage in the mischievous sports and dangerous intrigues so common at country schools; and his mother has been heard to say that his conduct was never such as to occasion her any uneasiness on his account.
Little is known of his early instruction or pursuits.
While a boy, he was placed under the tuition of Master David Beatty, in the village of Hempstead, from whom he received the primary elements of an Eng- lish education; casual opportunities for improvement enabled him to add to his village instruction, by an attendance on other teachers of higher attainments. Richard Bayley, at that time the most celebrated and skilful surgeon in the city of New York. With this eminent man, he prosecuted I02 Post Family. Yet finding that his professional attainments might be greatly in- creased by foreign travel, he repaired to London in , then only eighteen years old, and became a house pupil of the far-famed Sheldon, whose repu- tation as a teacher of anatomy and surgery was de- servedly high.
The zeal of the master was felt by the pupil, and his progress was great. He also at- tended the valuable lectures of John Hunter and George Fordyce. That these great opportunities of acquiring knowl- edge were not lost upon him, we have the evidence, in the lessons of general anatomy and surgery, which he afterwards delivered to admiring students, upon his return to his own country in the fall of His skill in the practical display of his subjects, by the scalpel, was a means of adding much to the value of his oral communications.
Having spent, as we have seen, about two years and a half abroad, during all which period he was closely engaged in anatomical and physiological pursuits, and in hospital practice, he commenced his profession in the citv of New Post Family. York, and in the following year delivered his first course of lectures on anatomy in the unappropriated apartments of the New York hospital, while surgery was taught by Dr.
But owing to the imprudent exposure of an an- atomical specimen by some pupils, the business of instruction was interrupted, the building itself broken into, by what is well remembered as the "Doctors' Mob," and the cabinet of anatomical pre- parations of his first preceptor, heaped into carts, carried off, and triumphantly buried. In he married the daughter of Dr. Bayley, who now advised him to repair again to London, in order still further to carry into successful operation his intentions of a teacher of anatomy and surgery, by procuring a suitable anatomical museum.
In this interesting object he was eminently successful, as he brought out with him, in , a collection of sound and morbid specimens, which was deservedly con- sidered the largest and rarest in this country. It was during this second visit to Europe, that he availed himself of the valuable instructions of Cruickshank and the late Dr.
Post prepared some of the first and most beau- tiful injections of the absorbent system which were ever seen.
Upon the reorganization of the medical schools of New York, after the Revolutionary contest, by the trustees of Columbia College, Dr. PoST was ap- pointed, by that body, to the department of surgery, while Dr. Bayley held that of anatomy; but on his return, in , an exchange took place, and conse- quently he assumed the responsibilities of teacher of anatomy. Some of his surgical operations were of the most extraordinary nature, and attended with wonderful success. His fame increased with age and experience; and from this time till 18 13, — a period of twenty years, — he discharged the duties of professor of anatomy and physiology in this institu- tion with unexampled success, while he had for asso- ciates, in other departments of the healing art, such men as Bayley, Mitchell, Hammersley, Hosack, Francis, Stringham, Rogers, Smith, Macneven and Mott, which, upon the union of the medical faculty of Columbia College with the College of Physicians and Surgeons, and the State medical school of the regents of the university, now embracing, under one head, the faculties of the two rival institutions, pre- sented a confederacy of names, several of which had been long conspicuous in the various departments of physical science.
While anatomy was taught by PoST and Dr. John Augustine Smith, surgery received its best illustra- Post Family. The health of Dr.
Post was always delicate, and for the purpose of recruiting it, he made a third voy- age to Europe in 5, and returning the next year with renewed vigor, he resumed his professional duties. In 18 16 he was chosen a trustee of Colum- bia College, which office he held during the residue of his life. He was also a member of the Literary and Philosophical Society of New York, and a coun- sellor for several years, while he was, for more than thirty-five years, a surgeon of the New York Hos- pital.
Upon the decease of Dr. Bard, in , he was appointed his successor as president of the College of Physicians and Surgeons, which he retained till , when he resigned his several offices in the uni- versity, and confined himself to the practice of his art until a short time before his death, which took place at his country seat at Throgg's Neck, June 14, , and a suitable tablet was afterward erected to his memory in Grace Church, New York, of which church he was vestryman for a number of years.
From this hasty outline, it will be perceived that Dr. Post was engaged for a period of nearly forty years as teacher of anatomy; and his reputation as such has rarely been surpassed. His surgical fame will mainly rest on his distinguished operation for tying the subclavian artery above the clavicle, on the scapular side of the scaleni muscles, for a brachial aneurism, situated so high in the axilla as to make it expedient to tie this artery.
With other advantages in early life, and a more devoted taste for literary acquisitions, he might have shone with greater brilliancy. But he was, neither from education, nor from his natural or acquired habits of reflection, qualified to distinguish himself in the ranks of medical literature; and except for a very few papers descriptive of some of his most inter- esting surgical cases, he has left nothing as an evi- dence of literary talent.
There is reason to believe that he was greatly averse to the exercise of writing. His introductory lectures seldom exhibited proofs of originality of thought, nor did his anatomical and physiological lectures evince any great research, be- yond the plain and obvious trait which duty and decency prescribed. Nevertheless, as a teacher, his lectures were char- acterized by judgment, accuracy and minuteness, and few have rivaled him as the expositor of anatomical science. His general learning was, however, very limited, and he was too indifferent to the improve- ments which the investigations of modern physiolo- gists and pathologists have made.
Thompson's "History of Long Island," Appendix, vol. He became professor of surgery, and subsequently of anatomy, in Columbia College. He was a careful, slow, and elegant operator, the first in America to tie the sub- clavian artery above the clavicle or collar-bone. The records of the New York Hospital state that Doctor Wright Post served the institution thirty- six years; from to , as surgeon; from to the year of his death , as Consulting Sur- geon.
Born February 19th, Died June 14, She died April 9, He was a gentleman of means and educa- tion, and came originally only on his travels, but falling in love with Susannah, the beautiful daugh- ter of William Le Compte, or Le Conte as he always wrote it, of the French settlement at New Rochelle, New York, he married her and re- mained there.
