"22.    Timothy3 Brush (Thomas 2, 1), born at Huntington, L. I., about 1694, named in town records 7 Jan. 1705 as son of Sarah Brush with an interest in the Baiting Place purchase of 1698.  He and brothers Jacob, Jr., and Thomas, Jr. exchanged ratifying deeds for their land holdings on 6 Mar. 1722/23.  He purchased a home lot of Nathaniel Whitman on 8 Nov. 1717 and received land from the town on 20 Feb. 1722/23.  He witnessed the will of Henry Titus on 23 Nov. 1725.  On 18 June 1720 Jonathan Lewis conveyed to Timothy Brush a 400 pound right in the West Purchase.
       A statement in the Scudder collection makes Elizabeth Conklin the wife of Timothy Brush.  It seems improbable.
       On 6 July 1731 timothy Brush signed two deeds either in conjunction with his will or which in themselves constituted a will.  One deed gave a life interest in his property to his wife Elizabeth until his eldest son reached 21, after which she was to have an interest in two-thirds of the property until his youngest son reached twenty-one when her interest dropped to a one-third share.  The second deed conveyed to eldest son Timothy, Jr. all lands except as stated in the previous deed and also provided for daughters Elizabeth, Ruth and Azuba.
       He was dead by 29 Mar. 1732, when the town granted land to the rights of Timothy Brush, deceased.  Town records dated in 1739 show that his brother Thomas Brush had served as his executor.  Under date 23 Nov. 1746 the town records state:  "Whereas Timothy Bursh, late of Huntington by his last will gave his West Hills Farm to his two sons Timothy, the elder, and Israel Brush, to be divided between them, and whereas Thomas Brush, the uncle of Timothy and Israel, being an executor of his deceased brother's will, and Samuel Brush being chosen guardian of Israel Brush, etc.," a division of 152 acres was ordered and made.  His widow Elizabeth on 29 Jan. 1732/33 married Thomas Campbell "from the Bowery, New York City."  Campbell joined the church 31 May 1733, his wife already being a member.  On 2 Aug. 1754, Campbell, having been suspended for many years because of an axe he had purloined from Jonas Brush, made acknowledgement, "but other things being objected his suspension was continued."  On 29 Jan. 1755 he was cited along with "some other disorderly brethren" to appear at the next session.
Authorities:  1, 2, 30.
AUTHORITIES FOR BRUSH FAMILY
1.  Huntington town, land and miscellaneous records, either published or in town clerk's office.
2.  Huntington church records including those of Rev. Ebenezer Prime, Rev. Mr. Close, Rev. Mr. Hartt, Rev. Mr. Woodhull, Rev. Mr. Schenck.  Copies are in Huntington Historical Society Library.
30.  Account Books of Henry Lloyd (unpublished).  These books, six in number, are the property of The Long Island Historical Society.  Henry Lloyd, second Lord of the Manor of Queens Village, evidently kept a store at Lloyd's Neck from 1711 until about 1744.  Many Oyster Bay as well as Huntington families ran open accounts on his books.  Apparently this source has been drawn upon but little for genealogical data."

" Perhaps the Elizabeth Brush who married at Huntington 30 Jan. 1750/51, Reuben Johnson.  Probably not the wife of Charles Sexton, Jr. as usually assumed.  (For Johnson see Tuttle Gen.)"
