In 1678, Nathan Birdsall, Matthew Prior, Christopher Hawxhurst and Samuel and Joseph Weeks were allowed to have "the great meadow and half the little meadow," exact location not clear but probably near Matinecock. In the same year Nathan Birdsall, Capt. John Underhill, Matthew Prior, James Cocks and John Feaks formed the neighborhood of Killingworth, at or near Oyster Bay, L.I. In 1679, Nathan Birdsall bought land of Lawrence I. Mott lying near Jerusalem (Little Brittain), L.I., and in the same year bought land of Thomas Ireland called Birdsall's swamp.
