New York State Military Museum and Veterans Research Center NYS Division of Military and Naval Affairs Re: Fort St. George You state: "Fort St. George: 1777, Suffolk County, Mastic, Smith's Point. British, 1777-1780, a triangular fort included existing manor houses in two corners and a fortification in the third. Served as British supply base, destroyed in Nov 1780 raid." http://www.dmna.state.ny.us/forts/maps/fortMapB_LongIsland.html The location map for the Long Island region ("locate by period") places this British site in the middle of the William Floyd Manor, who was perhaps the First New Yorker and the Fourth American to sign the "Declaration of Independence". Although his manor was occupied by British troops and his house used as a stable and the family there since the 17th century, the map should point to the Manor of St. George on the other shore of the peninsula of Mastic/Shirley, NY. I worked in the archaeology of the William Floyd manor for the Suffolk County Archaeology Association and the Denver Service Center of the National Parks Service when it was about to open to the public, after graciously donated by the Floyd family. I was to the commemorative recreation of the events of the seizing of Fort St. George at the "Manor of St. George", which ocurred after American patriots crossed the Long Island Sound from Connecticut in whale boats, marched across Long Island and surprized the sleeping British soldiers on a Sunday morning minimizing bloodshed. Please advise if these events have been misrepresented and the map is correct.
