It is a long island history question sparky..

Horse racing in the United States and on the North American continent dates back to the establishment of another course named Newmarket—on the Salisbury Plains section of what is now known as the Hempstead Plains of Long Island, New York in 1665.

What east end well known family name once owned robin's island in the middle of the north and south forks in the great peconic bay?

[Toyandgadgetguy]

I know that Tallmadge owned it for a bit, and that Bacon guy owns it now. (Been researching Tallmadge, and my buddy's wife works for Bacon at Moore Cap)

[DOC]

I'm still waiting for Sparky to tell us whether or not my grist mill answer is correct or not. I guess it must be?

Craig, Tallmadge is not the name I'm looking for even though it was once connected to the island.

[Sparky]

Doc you are correct.
