Cornelius - 1 Jan 1926 Pg 10 - chapter 10 - Vol 1. Jesse Merritt was one of the largest land owners on Long Island, NY, and the family still hold most of the original tract of 2000 acres, the deed of which was given him by the Indians and which is still in the possession of Mrs. John C. Marriett Jr.. Jesse Merritt built the house known as 'The Merritt Place'. The house stands on the east side of the road about two miles northeast of Farmingdale , and about four miles north of Massapequa and the Minell Place, or the old 'Cornelius Homestead'. It is a large square gabled house, two and a half stories high and surrounded by a grove of fine maples and directly in front is a immense Black Walnut and said to have been planted about 1800. To the north of the house is a lily pond about 30 feet across and formed by springs and filled wit beautiful white water lilies. To the North of this is a large field of about 20 acres, sloping to the east. This is sandy lome planted to gladiolas and dehlias, and the view one gets of this immense garden in passing is a sight to be remembered. The present owner of the place, Mrs. John Merritt, Jr. and her son care for the place and the garden.
