    This Theophilus and wife are buried at Mattituck, on the east side of the cemetery, beneath a small blue-stone slab, still remaining, (1871.) His name stands alone in census list of 1698, (Doe. Ilist. N. Y. i. 450) indicating that he was not then married. In 1702, sells land to Peter Simons. In 1703, gives land at Aquebogue to Daniel Corwin, no doubt his brother. In 1704, sells land to his cousin, John Corwin, No. 2. (Moore's Index of Southold, p. 74.) His will may be found in Lib. 23, New-York City.
