Excerpt from The Tangier Smith Manor of St. George: Address Delivered at the Eighth Annual Meeting of the New York Branch of the Order of Colonial Lords of Manors in America, Held in the City of New York on the 24th Day of April, 1920
The Manor of St. George was situated at the heart of Long Island, and comprised a broad belt of woodland and meadow stretching from the Atlantic shore to a highroad, which runs along the backbone of the Island, midway between the Atlan tic ocean and the Sound. The waters of the great South Bay, teeming with fish, clams and oysters, were originally included within the Manorial boundaries. It was constituted in 1693 under a patent granted by Governor Fletcher to Colonel Wil liam Smith. In other meridians the name of Smith is impressed with no special distinction, but in the annals of Long Island it is borne by a group of distinguished families and is blazoned with a dignity similar to that which lends lustre to the Pilgrim Fathers of New England or the Cavalier founders of Virginia, the Bradfords, the Endicotts and the Standishs, the Berkleys, the Randolphs and the Lees. The fact that this Manor does not bear the name of the Proprietor but a title which is pecul iarly associated with the royalty of England, wafts over seas into this new world a peculiar whiff of that feudal atmosphere of which it was a relic, and hints at the intimate personal rela tionship which existed between its Lord and the British throne.
