That your Excellences Patron Brother in Law [perhaps referring to Haviland, himself] Capt. Thomas Hicks did in the year 1666 obtain a patent from Governor Nicholls for a certain neck of Land called Madnans Neck within the limitts of the town of Flushing the which by consent & agreement was divided into equall thirds between him, Mr. Richard Cornell, and Mr. Elyas Doughty. That presently after the settlement being twelve years ago (the Patron bought Mr. Doughtys interest in his third of the said land and hath inhabited thereupon) or part thereof ever since but finds himself encroached upon by his neighbours Mr. Cornell & Mr. Hicks and is debarred by them of having his the proportion of ye neck so purchased by him there being only three lots laid out, besides their own accommodation, and the rest left in common, which if divided might be better improved. That your patron hath often desired a division might be made of the said neck so that each proprieter might know his share and proportion the which hath been promised but hitherto delayed and neglected. That now his neighbors Mr. Cornell & Mr. Hicks having settled their son in law John Washburn on one of the three lots last laid out Mr. Cornell is settling his other son in law John Laurence on commons of said neck under pretense of purchase of other lands thereby which will be much to the damage and prejudice of the patron. He therefore humbly prays your Excellence that a stop be put to the intended settlement of the said John Laurence in that place, & and that some person or persons be appointed to make an equal division of the said neck between them, so that your patron be not frustrated of his Right and his Labour on said Land. Will Haviland." [23] [24]

Descendant Notes:
1811 Elias Hicks (1748-1830), Quaker preacher and liberal religious leader, wrote "Observations on the Slavery of the Africans and Their Descendants" (1811), a major document in the development of the antislavery conscience in America. He became the founder of the Hicksite "branch" of the Society of Friends. His message combined the ancient mystical doctrine of the nearness and willingness of God to guide the individual with his fresh emphasis on the full use of human reason. [Forbush, op. cit., forward p. viii and preface p. xiv]
"John [Hicks] of Hempstead, Long Island, was the first of many Hickses who became magistrates, judges, captains of militia, treaty-makers with the Indians, and delegates to colonial assemblies. After John came Thomas, a Justice of the Common Pleas Court. Thomas defended Samuel Bownas, a Quaker in difficulty with the Hempstead churchmen, for attacking their doctrines and ceremonies [60]. This defense, mentioned by Elias with satisfaction in his Journal, introduced the Hicks family to the enthusiastic Quakers then invading Long Island.
"Jacob Hicks, son of Thomas the Justice, was impressed by the earnestness of the Friends although he, like his father, was a staunch Anglican, serving as a church warden and vestryman of St. George's Church at Hempstead. His wife, Hannah Carpenter, daughter of a founder of the Baptist Church in America, held Nonconformist views. Thomas Chalkely, an itinerant Quaker minister of power, made two visits in the neighborhood, lodging with Jacob and Hannah. After these visits Jacob ceased to be a vestryman, although he did not become a Quaker. It was not easy for a churchman to join a sect whose prophets in the previous generation created tumult and incited ridicule when preaching in the open fields. On occasions Friends were still moved by visions and revelations. This lingering emotionalism disturbed Jacob Hicks, yet he was willing to open his home for a monthly gathering of Friends for worship.
"Jacob's son John, who was Elias' father, influenced by the gatherings held in Jacob's house, longed to possess the great joy which came to Friends through their certainty of the forgiveness and love of God...He finally joined the Society by convincement a few years before the birth of Elias, and became a faithful member of Westbury Monthly Meeting." [61]
Research Notes:
Thomas Hicks "was a Justice of the Peace, High Sheriff of Queens County, 1702-3, Captain in the Queens County Troop 1686, member of the Assembly, appointed by Governor Andros, Judge of Common Pleas in Queen's County, 1691-1699. 'In 1666 he obtained from Governor Nicoll a patent for about four thousand acres of land near Little Neck, L. I., where he built a good house and lived like a 'Lord of the Manor' for many years.' He was an outstanding personality, and lived to the age of 100 years. The newspapers of the times state that he left behind more than three hundred descendants." [62] [63]
1691 On day 30 of month 9, Francis Doughty, Charles Doughty, Elias Doughty, Thomas Hickes (perhaps this one or his son), and others, witnessed the marriage of Benjamin Field and Hannah Bowne at Flushing, Long Island, New York. [64]
