Lloyd family record book, 1654-1894.

In 1686, James Lloyd, Boston merchant, acquired the Long Island peninsula then known as Horse Neck (and later as Lloyd Neck) from his wife, Grizzell, who had inherited it and other property from Latimer Sampson. The same year, Governor Thomas Dongan issued a patent establishing Lloyd Neck together with another property as the Manor of Queen's Village, and Lloyd as the Lord of the manor. Following James Lloyd's death, control of the property passed to his son, Henry Lloyd. In this volume, James Lloyd made copies of documents dated 1654-1689 relating to the acquisition and title of Lloyd Neck; it was continued by his son, Henry Lloyd through 1759. James Lloyd's entries include deeds, grants, and legal decrees as well as leases, receipts, maps, and accounts related to the management of Lloyd Neck. Henry Lloyd's continuation records documents resolving inheritance issues and property disputes with the towns of Oyster Bay and Huntington and receipts for quitrent. This is followed by approximately 20 pages of genealogical notes by John Nelson Lloyd and his son Henry Lloyd, IV.
