Manor of St. George Rich in Town
History
by
Thomas R. Bayles
The old homestead of the historic "Tangier" Smith family at the Manor of
St. George, Mastic, which still houses a descendant of the family, Miss
Eugenie A.T. Smith. The house pictured above was erected about 1810.
During the Revolution Americans from Connecticut ousted Tories from a
fort on the Manor grounds, erected after the patriotic Smiths had been
dispossessed. The cannon shown in the lower picture on the approximate
site of the fort are of Civil War times, from a man of war.
