South Shore Estuary Survey Form

Return to Sites Table of Contents

The information in this form is based on information in the original South Shore Estuary Survey. Corrections to obvious typographical and spelling errors have been made. Corrections to factual errors, updates or comments on the information are enclosed either in [square brackets] or are clearly indicated as updates in the text.. Since the surveys were conducted in the Summer of 2004, the information reflects that time period unless otherwise noted. Because the South Shore Estuary Survey report format is not entirely consistent with the original Society for the Preservation of Long Island Antiquities/Town of Brookhaven survey formats, there are a few additional fields on this page not found on the original forms. The original South Shore Estuary Survey Report is available as a PDF document by clicking on the below.

Historic and Architectural Importance

According to an interview with current Bellport Village Trustee, Robert H. Lyons III, Tom Poole was a bayman who lived in the building presently at 187 Old Stump Road. Mr. Lyons believes current homeowner, Mrs. Margaret S. Koch, is the granddaughter of Tom Poole and uses the building as a summer home. Thomas Alexander Poole was born April 27, 1876 in Norfolk City, Virginia. He married Ada Celestine Swezey on June 16, 1906 and together had one daughter, Shirley Poole. Thomas Alexander Poole died on November 21, 1965 in Yaphank, New York
