"The ancestor of the Platt family was Richard Platt, (son of Joseph,) who was baptized Sept.
28, 1603, in Barrington, a village near Hartfordshire, England. He came to this country in 1638
and settled in New Haven, and afterwards Milford, Conn. He died in 1684. His son, Epenetus
Platt, was baptized July 12, 1646. With his older brother Isaac he removed from Milford to
Huntington, LI in 1666. He married Phebe Wood in 1667. He was commissioned captain of a company
of militia in Suffolk County, May 3, 1689, and filled many offices of honor and trust. His son,
Jonas Platt, was born April 24, 1684, and purchased a farm at Sunk Meadow, in Smithtown, in
1717. The name of his wife is yet unknown. He was drowned "at Amboy in the Jerseys," March 25,
1731, aged 47. His sister, Elizabeth, married Jonathan Smith, 2d, She was born March 1, 1682."
