  2. [S1455] Harry Macy Jr., The Family of Daniel Whitehead: A Century and a Half of Fact and Fiction, Page 263 - The Record for July 1987 contains the text of the 1668 will of Daniel Whitehead of Newtown, Long Island, which was found in the NYG&B Library's manuscript collection after being reported missing for nearly a century. In the will Whitehead named “my loveinge wiefe gene” and sons Daniel, Jonathan, David, and Adam. With the discovery of this document, it became clear that this Daniel had to be the husband of the Jane Whitehead who was the mother of Adam, Thomas, Jemima, and Elizabeth Whitehead later of Huntington, Long Island - a matter which had been the subject of debate for nearly a century. Along with other evidence, particularly the abstract of Daniel's estate inventorypublished in 1970, it was also now clear that Jane was the daughter of Thomas Ireland of Hemsptead, and that she was too young to be the mother of Daniel's other known children, Daniel, Jonathan, and David, who were most likely the issue to his prior marriage to a daughter of Thomas Armitage of Hemstead and Oyster Bay.
