"1. THOMAS BRUSH was in Southold, L. I. before 8 October 1655 and an intimate in the family of John Concklyne, as is shown by an affidavit of John Concklyne, June. on that day regarding the non-cupative will of 'Mr. Frost, who had died recently.'
John Concklyne, Jr., stated that Mr. Frost wished Thomas Brush sent for that 'this deponent and he might beare witness to the said Mr. Frost's making his will and disposicon of what estate he had; at which the deponants mohter was much troubled, and Mr. Frost perecavinge of the same said he should die nen (none) the sooner for making his will -- yet that morn was neglectied; but in the afternoone of the same day, the said Thomas Brush comeinge into the said Mr. Frosts p'sence accidnetally, and this deponent being also then present, took occesion of his own accord to declare words to this effect following as namely -- hee then desired this dp. and the said Thomas Brush to beare witness, that what estate hee had hee did wholly give the same to the said John Conckelyne, Senr. in case hee dyed without any after will: -- further saying that the said John Conekelyne Senr. have lovelingly received him unto his house when he was destitute of shelter and caired kindly and respectively to him --' etc. etc.
On 17 May 1656 Thomas Brush himself made this affidavit:
Thomas Brush doth witness upon his oath that Mr. Frost lying upon his sick bed did by word of mouth give unto John Concklyne Senr. all his estate weh hee had; and that because the said John Conckelyne did curtiously receive him into his house when he was destitute.
Mr. Frost's will was proved at New Haven, Conn., 26 May 1656, upon the oaths (affidavits) of Thomas Brush and John Concklyne, Junr,
The ages of the children of Thomas Brush lead to the conclusion that he married Rebecca Concklyne, daugher of John Concklyne and Elizabeth Alseabrook, about 1650/51, probably soon after the Concklynes reached Southold from Salem, Mass. It has been said that Thomas Brush was in Salem with the Concklynes, but I have found nothing that gives authority to the statement.
John Concklyne, with his son Timothy and Thomas Bursh, removed to Huntington, L. I., about 1657."
