General William Floyd

After posting the information about the work circa the first launch of a Space Shuttle, STS-1 "Columbia" back in April 12th 1981, at the William Floyd Manor, Mastic/Shirley, NY, for the National Park Service's Denver Service Center, CO, supervised by Dana Linck, whose dad taught physical education at the West Point Military Academy for 20 years, (co-authored "Dig Fast, Die Young: Unexploded Ordnance and Archaeology," Chapter 12 in "DANGEROUS PLACES: Health, Safety, and Archaeology" edited by David A. Poirier and Kenneth L. Feder, 2001, can be read at the link it seems) I got to thinking about the Lloyd bottle seal and what I found afterwards. What I found in the Main Branch of the New York Public Library, was a copy of the deed that William Floyd sold or held of property in partnership with Ezra L'Hommedieu, whose grave, many years ago, I stood near I thought in Setauket, actually would have been Southold, NY! Strange. "Ezra L'Hommedieu (August 30, 1734–September 27, 1811) was an American lawyer and statesman from Southold, New York. He was a delegate for New York to the Continental Congress from 1779 to 1783 and again in 1788." - Wikipedia And: "He was buried near the grave of his first wife, the former Charity Floyd, whose brother was General William Floyd, a signer of the Declaration of Independence." Find A Grave: "American statesman. A noted patriot of the Revolutionary War era, Federalist Ezra L'Hommedieu represented New York in the Continental Congress during the years 1779, 1781, 1783, 1787 and 1788. He had also served in the State Assembly, among other local offices, and was an author of the Empire State's Constitution. Born into a Long Island family of Dutch and French Huguenot ancestry, he had practiced law in New York City after his graduation from Yale in 1754. Widely respected for his integrity and intelligence, he had helped to design the lighthouse at Montauk Point, a project on which he advised George Washington, and had also developed methods of scientific farming, including the use of seashells to fertilize soils. He was serving as Regent of the State University of New York when he died at age 77."
