[*Shubal Marchant was one of the earliest inhabitants of Smithtown, but we know very little concerning him. His home lot is on the south side of Nissequogue street, and is a lot of 10 acres, now owned by heirs of Caleb T. Smith. It was owned in the early part of this century by Charles Wheeler, who married Sarah Marchant (who may have been a daughter of Shubal,) June 28, 1784. Two tomb stones lying prostrate near the front fence, tell us that Charles Wheeler died Feb. 12, 1807, aged 77. His wife Sarah, died Jan. 13, 1821, aged 8o. The lot was sold by Nathaniel Ketcham to Edward Barry, Feb. 11, 1848, and he sold to Joel L. G. Smith. Described as "All that piece of land formerly belonging to Shubal Marchant, bounded east and south by heirs of Richard Smith; west by heirs of Edmund Smith; north by the highway running from Nissequogue to the head of the harbor; 10 acres with buildings." It was sold by Daniel McKetrick to Caleb T. Smith, March 5, 1870.]
