The object of the author of this work is not to give a complete history of the town, though the work is necessarily historical. It is rather to present, so far as possible, a picture of the life and struggles of our ancestors in subduing a wilderness and progress- ing in the arts of civilization. It is so far an episode in the early history of the colonies. Besides this, it has been deemed proper to record auy salient facts or occurrences of later date of general interest. The importance of the genealogical portion of the work can scarcely be over estimated. The far greater part of this has been constructed with great care by the author from an almost infinite number of isolated records in wills, deeds, family Bibles, church and town records of all descriptions, tomb-stones, and from whatever source afforded with certainty a name and a date. Since the publication of the first edition in 1866, all this material has been reviewed, and the addition of much genealogical information has made it necessary in most cases to rewrite the whole. Wher- ever assistance was afforded in this it is duly accredited. While the author has consulted Prime and Thompson, the his- torical portion has been derived almost wholly from original sources ; that is, from original MSS. documents in the town records and office of Secretary of State at Albany, and from the earliest historians of the colonial period. Great care has been taken to present perfect copies of the ancient instruments of writing relating to the history of the town ; but it is found by comparison that the orthography of the same docu- ment varies considerably, whenever it is more than once recorded.

EAKLY DISCOVERIES. *JoHx Yerazzano, a Florentine, sent out on a voyage of dis- covery in ]524, by Francis I. of France, first makes land probably on tlie coast of South Carolina. Thence sailing northward he explores the coast, but overlooks, apparently, the Chesapeake and Delaware bays. AYliile off the coast of Virginia or Maryland, he says : " Hailing our aboade three dayes in this cnntrey, riding on the coast for want of harboroughs, wee concluded to depart from thence, trending along the shore betweene the North and East, sayling onely in the day time and riding at ancker by night. In the space of 100 leagues sayling, weefoiinde a very pleasant place, situated amongst certaine little steepe hilles : from amiddest the which hilles there ran down into the sea a great streame of water, which within the mouth was very deep, and from ye sea to ye mouth of same, with the tyde, which wee found to rise 8 foot, any great vcssell laden may passe up." Tins, of course, was the month of the Hudson, called by all the early navigators the " Great river." He says they passed up the river about half a league and found the country well peopled and the inhabitants received the visitors with " great showtes of ad- miration." This was the extent of his exploration in jS^ew York harbor. Again : " We weied Ancker and sayled toward the East, for so the coast trended, and so alwayes for 50 leagues, being in the sight thereof, wee discovered an Ilande in the forme of a triangle, distant from the main lande 3 leagues, about the bignesse of the Ilande of the Rodes, it was full of hilles, couered with trees, well peopled, for we sawe fires all along the coaste. Wee gaue the name of it of your Maiesties mother, [Claudia] not staying there by reason of the weather being contrarie." *Hakluyt Soc. Pub. Reprint, 1850, of the Relation of Verazzano, pub. in 1582, pp. 62, 63. 2 10 IIlSTOKY OF SoL'TllA^rPTOX. It would soein from this aeeoimt that Verazzano sailed along the entire coast of Long- Island, supposing i I to be the main land (as it is nearly iifty leagues in length), and the isLiud to which he o-ave the name of Claudia (the name of Francis" tirst wife — not of his mother) was afterward called Block Island, from its sub- sequent Dutch discoverer, Adrian Block. The astonishment of the Indians at the sight of Hudson's ship, the " Half Moon," eiijhty-tive years after, and of himself in scarlet robes, showed that this visit had been forgotten. But then the witnesses of the tirst European visit were long dead and the archives of the In- dians made no revelations of these matters. Verazzano was, doubtless, the tirst European navigator who ever gazed upon the shores of this island, unless, perchance, the Northmen wandered so far to the south of their temporary occupation of the coasts of Newfoundland and New England. During the interval of eighty-one years that succeeded, western Europe was too much occupied at home to project colonies abroad. The Low Countries. Crermany, France, Italy and Spain were one o^reat battle-ground. Charles V. of Spain and I. of Germany was fighting his rival, Francis I. of France, and, after him, his son, Henry II., both bent on territorial conquest and the destruction of each other, until the second treason of Maurice of Saxony sent Charles back to Spain completely routed, and this, and the gout and disappointed ambition brought him knocking at the gate of a convent to secure a retreat for the remainder of his life. The gold and silver from Mexico and Peru brought in the Spanish galleons that escaped the guns of Drake and Hawkins and Il;\leigli were poured into the cotfcrs of Philip II., only to be spent in establishing the Inquisition in Holland and in building- fleets and palaces in Spain. France was a camp of Huguenot and Protectant. England, at the beginning of the seventeenth cen- tury, had planted a colony in Virginia, and began to feel the impetus of discovery and trade with the new world. In a desire to parti^'ipate in the trade with America that was enrich- ing their cotemporaries, *Henry Wriothesly, Earl of So\ith- ampton, and Thomas, Lord Arundel, resolved to tit out a ship • Piakerton's Voyages, vol. XH, p. 32S. Early Discoveries. 11 for this expedition. " Tiiis vessel was called the * Archangel,' and was commanded by Captain George Weymouth, an ex})erienced and skillful seaman, who sailed the last day of March, 1005, from Dartmouth. "' " * After much expectation [of seeing land] on the 16th of May they obtained sight of an island of no great consequence, [sizej aud very woody along the shore ; but by the fruits they found, it appeared no barren nor despicable spot, more especially as there were streams of fresh water running down the cliffs in great plenty, [off Montauk jjrobably] vast numbers of fowls, and fish enough all along the shore. This island is now called Long Island, and it was upon the eastern part of it they fell to their great satisfaction."' This was the second visit of a European vessel to this Island, and the story is not without inter- est. And what is of more interest to the general reader, he evi- dently entered the bay of New York and sailed up the Hudson river some forty or fifty miles. The next explorer who touched upon the coast was Henry Hud- son, an Englishman, but on this particular voyage in the employ- ment of the Dutch West India Company. He sailed from Holland in March, 1609, in the ship " Half Moon," and the account of the voyage has been ti-ansmitted to us by ^Robert Juet, a Nether- lander, who accomjDanied Hudson in an unknown capacity. The object of the expedition was, as usual, to find a shorter passage to the riches of the east, the Indies. He at first sought a nortli-east route, but meeting interminable ice fields near Nova Zenibla, he turned his prow to the south-west to find a western passage to the same point. Making land at Newfoundland, which had been previously discovered and named by Cabot, he skirted along the coast looking for a passage to the Pacific until he came to the English settlements in Virginia, having touched in his course at Cape Cod and explored the adjacent waters. Again turning northward (from Virginia) he discovered and explored for the first time, apparently by Europeans, Delaware bay. Passing on he came through the Narrows and entered the noble bay of New York, and subsequently he sailed up the magnificent river which * Hakluyt Sue. Pub. 12 HiSTOfiY OF Southampton. ]i(»\v bears ins name, to the present site of Albany. On his lionie- ward passage from New York bay, Jnet says he steered south-east by east, and was soon out of siglit of land, and saw no more until they made the coast of England. So that Hudson could not have seen any more than the western end of Long Island. These ex- plorations of Cape Cod and Delaware bay were the basis of the Dutch claim to all territory lying between these two points and extending, inland, indefinitely to the Pacific. These early explorations have been noticed rather on account of their general historical interest than from any immediate connec- tion with the settlement of the town in 1640. The question lias been asked how happened the attention of the colonists to be turned in the direction of the east end of Long Island, then an un- explored wilderness. Aside from the facts that they had resolved to go somewhere, and that they, as well as any others, might venture into a wilderness, the truth is, the friends of the colonists, and consequently, they themselves, had special knowledge of the advantages offered to them by this Isle of the sea. *In the sum- mer of 1633, Governor Winthrop had the bark '' Blessing " built, and on October 2, 1633, she returns from a voyage of discovery to Mystic, and reports " having made a further discovery of that called Long Island.'- There they trafficked with the natives and " procured Wampampeag, both white and blue, it being made by the Indians there." "With these facts before us, the solution of the question becomes very simple, that they came on the personal recommendation of Governor Winthrop and his representation of the fertility of the soil and the abundance of food in the forests and waters of the Island. This was the lieroic age of modern history, when the Old World was stirred up to people the new. Those who are old enough to remember the excitement of 1849 in " the States" over the newly -discovered gold fields of California, and the eagerness with which men fiocked there for sudden fortunes, may have some idea of the same fever for emigration to America that prevailed at that time in London, with its county of Middlesex, and tliead- * Hubbard's General History of N. E., Mass. Hist. Coll. 2 s. v. 5, p. 174. Eakly Discoveries. 13 jaceiit counties. After the home difSculties and troubles that so oppressed the middle classes of England nothing so occupied the popular mind as the immediate transfer of their homes to the New World. This fact is conspicuous in the writings of the English at home and especially in their letters to their friends in America. 14 HisTOKY OF Southampton. CHAPTER II. OUTLINE OF HISTORY OF LONG ISLAND ACCOUNTS OF EAKLY SETTLERS — FIRST ATTEMPT AT SETTLEMENT AT NORTH HEMP- STEAD — REMOVAL TO THE EAST END. The Dutch who had settled on Manhattan Island in the early part of the seventeenth century, soon began to build and occupy on the oj^posite shore of Long Island ; and as their population increased, naturally pushed out their settlements to the eastward on the north and south shores of the Island. Thus it happened that the western part of the Island came under the jurisdiction of the Dutch Government at New Amsterdam until the sur- render of New York to the English in 1664. But the proximity of the Island to Connecticut afforded some ground for the English Crown to set up a claim to it. Accord- ingly Charles I., April 22, 1636, requested the Corporation for New England, called the Plymouth Colony, to issue their patent to "William Alexander, Earl of Stirhng, for Long Island, and the islands adjacent. They did so, and on April 20, 1637, the Earl gave power of Attorney* to James Farret to dispose of said lands. This, however, took effect only on the east end of Long Island where the English subsequently resided. Upon the death of Lord Stirling in 1640, his heir relinquished the grant above mentioned to the king, and thus it happened that on March 12, 1664, Charles II. granted, with other terri- tory. Long Island and the Islands adjacent, to his brother James, Duke of York and Albany. In the following August, Col. Richard Nicolls, at the head of a fleet, came and obtained a sur- render of New York to the crown of England. Now for the first time the eastern towns of the Island came under the juris- diction of New York, Southampton having sent deputies to the General Court of Connecticut regularly, from 1644 to 1664. In * A copy of which is now in the town records of Southampton. Accounts of Eaely Settlers. 15 July, 1C)73, New York was recovered hy the Dutch and the Island followed the fate of the larger colony. Both, however, were again surrendered by the Dutch to the English Govern- ment, November 10, IGT-l, and so remained English Colonies till the war of our Independence. Few traces can be found of the original proprietors of the town prior to the settlement. They were all of English origin, and probably came from the counties of Bedford, Bucks and Lincoln. The tradition that they sailed from Soutliampton, Eng- land, and for this reason adopted the name for their settlement, is worthless, since there is no evidence that they did sail from that place, but on the contrary, so far as known, they sailed from other ports of England, and at different times. I offer it as a conjecture that the town was so named from Henry Wriothesly, Earl of Southampton, who was very active in colonizing the new world. He was director and treasurer of the Virginia Company, 1620 to 1624, and must have been well known to and by the leading men of the Southampton colonists. The common statement derived from Cotton Mather (Magnalia) is, that between thirty and forty families in Lynn, Mass., finding themselves straitened for land, came over to Long Island and effected a settlement. In enumerating the settlements of New England, Ogilby, in his History of America, says : " About the year 1640, by a fresh supply of people, that settled in Long Island, was there erected the twenty -third town call'd Southamp- ton, by the Indians, Agawam.'' There is truth in both of these statements though neither is absolutely correct. Some of the colonists had lived in Lynn for years and some doubtless were new arrivals. Among the inhabitants of that place in 1630, were Edmund Farrington, Allen Breed, Daniel Howe, and John White. In 1637, were also Christopher Foster, John Pierson, Thomas Halsey, Josiah Stanborough, George Welbye, Richard "Wells, "William Partridge and Philip Kertland. John Cooper was made Free- man, i. e., admitted to privilege of voting, at Boston, December 6, 1636; Christopher Foster, the same, April IT, 1637; Edward Howell, the same, March 14, 1639 ;* Rev. Abraham Pierson * 1039-40. 16 History of Southampton. arrivea iii America in 1639. With some more whicli are men- tioned elsevvliere, these are all the traces tliat can be given of the founders of Southampton. The original " undertakers," eight in number, purchased a sloop for the ti'ansportation of their families and their goods for £S0, of which Edward Howell and Daniel Howe, each contributed £15; Edmund Farrington, George Wei be, and Henrj Walton each £10; and Josiah Stanborough, Job Sayre, Edmund Need- ham and Thomas Sajre, each £5. J3cfore sailing, however, the other proprietors disposed of their interest in the vessel to Daniel Howe, in consideration of his making three trips annually for two years for transportation of goods from Lynn to their planta- tion. Articles of agreement were drawn up and signed, in which were stated the plans and purposes of the company, and their several shares proportioned to the amonnt of money by each contributed. These articles, as well as those for the "Disposall of the Vesseir' were dated March 10, 1639.* April 17, 1610t (a month after the confirmation of Lyon Gardiner's purchase of Gardiner's Island), Farrett, in behalf of Lord Stirling, made an agreement with Lieutenant Howe, Edward Howell and others (as above) by which they were authorized:}; to occupy eight miles square of land in any part of Long Island. The amount that was to be paid to the Earl of Stirling, as a recognition of his title to the land, was to be estimated by the Hon. John Winthrop, Governor of Massachusetts Colony, who fixed the amount at four bushels of Indian corn, in consideration that the country was a wilderness, and that the natives pretended some claims to the land. This deed of Farrett was given also about a month after the dis- posal of the vessel and signing the articles of agreement since, as the reader will remember, at that time the year was reckoned \o commence on the twenty-fifth of March. § The next we hear of them, the Lynn emigrants arrived in the following month of May at Manhasset at the head of Cow Bay (or Sellout's Bay, as the Dutch called it). Here they found the arms of the Prince of Orange erected upon a tree, and Lieutenant Howe, the leader of the expedition, pulled them down. This 'lC;59-40. t Town Records. J See appendix §N. Y. Col. Hist. Accounts of Early Settlers. 17 was on the lOtli of May, 1640.* But the Sachem Penhawitz who had just before ceded all his rights to the Dutch, promptly informed Governor Kieft that some " foreign strollers " had arrived at Schout's Bay, where they were felling trees and building houses, • and " had even hewn down the arms of their High Mightinesses." Commissary Van Curler (Corlear) was sent to ascertain the facts, and the Sachem's story was found to be true. The arms of the State had been torn down, and in their place had been drawn an " unhandsome face," " all which aforesaid appeared strange to us, being a criminal offense against his Majesty, and tending to the disparagement of their High Mightinesses." May 13th, the Council of New Amsterdam order Cornelius Van Tienhoven to arrest and bring before them the " strollers and vagabonds " of Schout's Bay who had so insulted their Dutch dignities. On the next day, with two officers and twenty men, he started on his mission of ejectment, and arrived at the clearing May 15th, finding one small house built and another unfinished. " They were first asked, what they were doing there ; by what power or by whose authority they presumed to settle on our pur- chased soil, and told that they must show their commission. Eight men, one woman and a little child, made answer that they intended to plant there, and were authorized thereunto by a Scotchman who had gone with their commission to Red Hill. Secondly they were asked, for what reason did they throw down their High Mightinesses' Arms and set up a fool's face in the stead. To which some answered, the escutcheon was cut down by a person who is not present ; another answered, such was done in their presence by order of a Scotchman, James Farrett ; and he and Lieutenant Howe were then at Red Hill.f Here- upon six men were brought to Fort Amsterdam, leaving two men, and one woman and a child on the ground, to take care of their goods ; they arrived on the 15th of May." At the subsequent examination, the following facts appeared. They went to Long Island to settle, from Lynn, Mass., and others *Col. Hist, of N. Y. tRoodeberg or Roodenberg or Red Hill, the name given to New Haven by the Dutch, probably from the appearance of East and West Rocks from the harjjor. 3 18 History of Southampton. were to follow. They caine under authority of James Farrett with consent of Governor Winthrop of Massachusetts Bay Colony. It was intended to bring twenty families, and "many more would come if the land was good." They should have lived free under their own laws, and would have been obedient to whomsoever was lord of the land. Job Sayre on examination, said, he was born in Bretf ordshire (probably Bedfordshire — he was examined through a Dutch interpreter), was twenty-eight years old, and had resided in Lynn, Mass. George Welbye said, he was born in J^orthamp- tonshire, was twenty-five years old, and resided in Lynn. John Farrington said, he was born in Bockinghamshire (Buckingham- shire), was twenty-four years old, and lived in Lymi. Philip Cartelyn (Kertland) twenty-six years old, and Nathaniel Cartelyn (Kertland) twenty-two years old, birthplace and residence the same as Farrington' s. "William Harker said, he was bom in Cin- censhire (Lincolnshire ?) and was twenty-four years of age. On May 19th, they were discharged as not guilty of tearing down the arms of the Lords States, and set at liberty on " condition that they do promise to depart forthwith from our territory, and never to return to it without the Directors' express consent." Thus ended the first attempt at a settlement ; the " strollers and vaga- bonds " departed, and low Dutch alone was spoken in that land.* Now in all this, there is no intention to cast a slur upon the Dutch of New York, who as a nation by their bravery, fortitude and perseverance in long and bloody wars with Spain, when in the zenith of her power, for their independence and for the cause of protestantism, and when protestant England too stood by an idle spectator of the struggle, deserved and won the respect of all mankind. But it was nevertheless a shabby treatment of these New England colonists, the equals of their best in wealth, cul- ture and social jjosition, who, like themselves, were seeking homes in the new world. If Hudson's third voyage, previously spoken of, gave to the Netherlands a claim to this territory, Cabot's pre- * Subsequently (Sept. 19, 1650) when the English settlements had increased and strengthened on the eastern part of the island among other questions submitted to four arbitrators for settlement was the boundary line between the Dutch and English in Long Island This was then declared to be a " line run from the westernmost part of Oyster Bay, and so a straight and direct line to the sea," the Dutch west and the English east. See Trumbull's Ct. vol. 1, p. 192. Accounts of Eakly Settlers. 1^ vious discovery of the continent gave the English a still greater. But Yerazzano's voyage of discovery before Cabot's was consid- ered by Henry IV. of France a sufficient basis for his granting all the ^ow) Middle and New England coast states to M. des Monts. And still previous to this, the Pope conferred the title of the whole continent upon Ferdinand and Isabella. It will be remem- bered that the elder Cabot actually made the discovery of the con- tinent of America some fourteen months before *Columbus saw the main land. And for this reason the pretensions of the Pope were in 1620 treated with derision in the English Parliament. With all these conflicting claims, the best title seems to have been actual possession maintained by the sword. ♦Bancroft, Hakluyt. 20 History of Southampton. CHAPTER III. THE SETTLEMENT AND THE SETTLERS. Of the movements of the EngHsh immediately after the expul- sion, the town records afford no clue, and tradition happily is dumb. I am inclined to think the leading minds of the com- pany, in harmony with Governor Winthrop, proposed in the begiu- nino" to plant a colony as near the Dutch settlements as possible, as a barrier to their further eastward progress, and failing in this, to establish a strong colony as a center or basis of operations on the eastern part of the Island. The former plan having failed, they immediately proceeded to execute the latter. Whether there was such a plan or not, the fact remains that such a course was actually pursued. This settlement was effected in the early part of the following June, and makes Southampton the first town settled by the English in the State of New York. The general impression has been that the sister town of Southold, settled in October (Wood) of the same year, was entitled to this distinction. But this impression was based upon the supposition that the Southampton emigrants came there in the month of December, in which month the deed which they received from the Indians is dated. Now although this is no great matter, yet as a point of historic interest, we may as well know, if we can, the precise date of the occupation of this territory by the English. The reasons that seem to establish the fact of this settlement in the early part of June are as follows : 1. The presumption is in favor of an immediate attempt to secure a settlement. That was their prime business. Delay in- volved the loss of a planting season. They held in their hands a commission from Farrett authorizing them to select and occupy, and the land was all before them where to choose. 2, Other instruments from Farrett show the same. June 12, The Settlement and the Settlers. 21 1639* (or rather 1640), James Farrett makes a conveyancef of land from sea to sea between Peaeoneck and Montauk Point, to Edward Howell & Co., for £400 already received, they having been (as saith the instrument) driven off by the Dutch previous to this transaction. This writing has that vagueness in defining the limits characteristic of the imperfect knowledge that might be acquired by the visit of the " Blessing." It is probable that one of the company went on to obtain this second writing from Farrett in person, while the others continued on their voyage and settlement. The memorandum, as it is called, of July 7, 1640, appears to have been obtained by a second embassage to Farrett, after actual occupation of the new plantation. We in- fer this from its mention of local names and the precise bounda- ries which could only be learned on the spot. August 20, 1640, Lord Stirling confirms this sale. And as he was in Scotland, suf- ficient time for sending by a sailing vessel across the Atlantic, the apphcation for a deed of sale from him, must be allowed, so that this fact confirms a settlement at least as early as the first part of July, 1640. A temporary verbal agreement was made with the Indians as the deed of December intimates, for the sale of their lands, ratified by the said deed of December 13, 1640, which ac- knowledges that partial payment for the land had been made previous to that date. 3. Felt,:}: in an account of Rev. Hugh Peters, says, that he (Peters) attended the ordination of Mr. Abraham Pierson at Lynn, and the organization at the same time and place of a church " composed of individuals who had emigrated from that place and settled at Southampton." This was in ^November, 1640, showing the settlement had been effected before December. The same historian§ says in another work that a church was formed in Massachusetts, part of the emigrants being there at the time of Rev. Abraham Pierson's ordination in November, and part on Long Island at their plantation. By another New England his- * The date of the year, 1639, is evidently an error. It is so found in the London documents which are a copy. The Dutch records and those of the town are in agreement on all points. tCol. Hist, of N. Y., V. 3, pp. 21, 23. JHist. and Gen. Reg., v. 5, p. 233. §Eccles. Hist, of N. E., v. 1, p. 418. 22 History of Southampton. torian it is said that on the 11th of October, 1640, Mr, Pierson was appointed at Boston, to be the minister of the colony then settled and residing at Southampton. 4. There is another clause in the* Indian deed of December 13, 1640, which leads to the same conclusion. It is, " as also all the old ground formerly planted lying eastward from the first creek, etc." The phrase " old ground '' is used a number of times in the town records to signify land that the settlers them- selves had broken np and cropped. When this had been done by Indians, such land was called " the Indian field." The set- tlers had, therefore, come in time that season to raise one crop of oats and Indian corn and gather hay for their cattle. 5. Edward Johnson in hisf Wonder Working Providence, has this statement which contains other points of interest. " Chapter XYII — Of the Planting of Long Island. — This year [1640] came over divers godly and sincere servants of Christ, as I suppose, among whom came over the reverend godly Mr. Peirson. This people [of Southampton], finding no place in any of the former erected colonies to settle in to their present content, repaired to an island severed from the Continent of Newhaven, with about 16 miles off the salt sea, and called Long Island, being about 120 miles in length, and yet but nar- row : here this people erected a Town and called it South Hamp- ton, there are many Indians on the greatest part of this Island who at first settling of the Enghsh there did much to annoy their Cattel with the multitude of Doggs they kept, which ordinarily are young wolves brought up tame, continuing of a very ravening nature. This people gathered into a church and called to office Mr. Peirson, who continued with them 7 or 8 yeares, and then he, with the greatest number of the people, removed farther into the Island ; the other part that remained invited Mr. Foordum, and a people that were with him, to come and joyne with them, who accordingly did, being wandered as far as the Dutch 2)lanta- tion, and there unsettled, although he came into the Country be- fore them." * See appendix. +Mass. Hist. Coll., 2 s., v. 7, p. 32. The SErrLEMENT and the Settlers. 23 To this it is necessary to remark : (1.) The title of the chapter and the first sentence presuppose this to be the first venture of the EngUsh into an unsettled region of the country. There could have been no previous settlement at Southold known to Johnson. (2.) The name of this settlement is almost universally written in the records and in New England documents of early times as Southampton. (3.) There is evident over-statement of the truth concerning the number of families who removed with Mr. Pier- son to Branford, Connecticut, and not to any other j)art of Long Island. Few comparatively left at that time and no considerable number came in with Mr. Fordham. 6. *Lechford, in his " Plaine Dealing," 1641, speaks of a settle- ment by the Lymi people, but knows nothing about a plantation at Southold, though apparently very conversant with the affairs of the colonies. 7. But Winthropjf in his History of New England, says ex- pressly the second and successful attempt at a settlement was made in the fourth month (or June) of the year 1640. There is one other curious fact which fixes the dates of the Farrett deed, June 12, 1639, the memorandum of July T, 1639, and the Stirling deed of August 20, 1639, to belong all of them to the year 1640. The London documents, as we have remarked, by some strange pei'version, have them as above, in 1639. In the Dutch account of the attempt of the Lynn men to settle at Cow Bay in the Colonial History of New York, volume 2, page 149, it is said that on Saturday, May 19, 1640, the English were re- leased from captivity. Now May 19, 1640, by the Dutch reck- oning (as they had then adopted the new or Gregorian calendar), fell on a Saturday, but May 19, 1639, would fall on Thursday. So that this attempt to settle on the west end of Long Island was really in 1640, and not 1639, as it is dated in the English deed on page 21 of volume 3 of the same work, where the having been " drove off by the Dutch " is spoken of as an event which had occurred before June 12, 1639 (i. e. 1640), when the deed was given. Furthermore, May 19th of the Dutch calendar was May 9th of the English, leaving the settlers ample tune to get to South- ampton before June 1, 1640. *Mass. Hist. Col,, 3 s., vol. 3, p. 98. +Vol. 2, p. 4. 24 History of Southampton. The English records in the office of the Secretary of State at Albany also correct the dates of these London documents. In the MSS. book marked " Com-t of Assizes," volume 2, page 439, is recorded the first deed to the Southampton settlers of date April 17, 1640, under which they were to take up eight miles square of land where they should select on Long Island. This record gives the date 1640, and not 1639, thus, being in harmony with the Dutch records. Finally, among the records in the office of the town clerk at Southampton a writing has been discovered which begins with the words " Southampton, June, 1640." The day of the month is given also, but I do not remember it at the time of writing this. In a later edition of Winthrop's History, edited by Savage, page 5, an account is given of another settlement somewhere on Long Island, effected before August, 1641. James Farrett makes a vigorous and solemn protest against their intrusion on the rights of the Earl of Stirling. But these people had no connection w^iatever with the settlers from Lynn, as Savage, in a foot-note, seems to think. They were what we should now term filibusters, and probably soon returned to the main land. But to return to the movements of the little colony. Sailing up the Peconic Bay, they landed at what is now called North Sea, a little hamlet about three miles from the village of Southamp- ton, whence they took up their march through the woods to find a place for theii- new homes. It was a perilous undertaking to venture with their wives and little ones into a wilderness, hem- med in on two sides by water, and the other two by savage tribes. Like their brethren of Plymouth, however, they were brave men and Christians, resolved on doing their part toward forming an empire for freedom and Christianity. The Indians whom they found here proved to be friendly, and released to the settlers sufficient land for their necessities in " consideration of sixteen coates already received, and also three score bushels of Indian come to be paid upon lawful demand the last of September, which shall be in the year 1641, and further in consideration that they above named English shall defend us the said Indians from the unjust violence of whatever Indians The Settlement and the Settlers. 25 shall illegally assail us." The date of this deed is December 13, 1640, Two additional purchases from the natives were after- ward effected extending considerably the limits of the town, and finally when a new generation of Indians were causing trouble, as they saw their old hunting grounds melt away, the colony, in order to preserve peace, again bought the whole township of them for twenty pounds, for which a deed was given of date August 16, 1703. The first of these purchases, known as the Quogue purchase, was made by the town in 1663.* The second, known by the name of Topping's purchase, is recorded as having been sold to Thomas Topping, April 10, 1662, for twenty fathoms of wampum by Weany, (Sunk Squa) Anabackus, Jackanapes, Cobish, Toquobin and Wetaugom, all Shinnecocks except Weany, the widow of the Montauk Chief. The purchase ran from Niamuck or Canoe Place, westward to Seatuck and thence northward to the head of Peconic Bay, Again September 17, 1666, a number of Indians claiming the right to Topping's pur- chase, gave a deed of sale of the same to the " Townsmen of Southampton " for such consideration as Governor Nicoll shall determine. The first attempt at a settlement here was in a place now called the Old Town, about three-quarters of a mile from the main street of the present village. Here they remained for about eight years as appears from the following orders. "June 11th, 1647, it is ordered by all the inhabitants of this towne, this daye, that this towne is to bee divided into fortie house lots, some biger, some less — as men haue put in a share sixe thousen pounds to be devided into fortie parts." "This instant, the t23d of March, 1648, it is ordered by the fiue men apoynted for towne affaires that the whole towne shall be called together on the second day next, at the setting of the sunne, to consider of a towne plot that shall be then and there presented to them, and to determine concerning the said plot or some others that may be presented by any other mans advice, and also to consider of such home accommodations as may be most suit- * See appendix for a copy of all these deeds. + March 33, 1648, would, corrected according to new style, be April 3, 1648. 4 26 History of Southampton. able to the comfort, peace & welfare of this plantation as touching the proportion to eiiery man in his taking yp acording to his valu- ation, & that there be men apointed forthwith to devide the same, and this to put in execution the order aboue written." March 27, ItJ'iS, three acres for a home lot was settled upon as to the proportion to a fifty right. The main street to this day retains the divisions then made of house lots of three acres, though, in the changes of two centuries, some of the old landmarks have been removed. Here, then, at last, they find permanent homes after all their wanderings. The articles of agreement entered into before their departure from Lynn showed that they formed a joint-stock company, owning the land as tenants in connnon until it was set apart, according to the regulations of the company, to individual occupation. Each man was entitled to a house lot of four acres (afterward changed to three acres), twelve acres for cultivation, and about thirty-four acres of meadow and upland, together with a certain number of shares or rights in the undivided common land, according to the amount of money he had disbursed toward the expenses of the settlement and the purchase of the town. These were called Pro- prietor's Rights, and were handed down with inherited estate from father to son. There is no question but the land of the town wasj from the first, and always down to the present time, owned in two distinct modes or tenures — first, as divided into certain lots, whether homesteads, meadows, iiplauds, arable lands or wood lands ; and, secondly, the remainder of the undivided lands within the limits of the town was owned by the proprietors, their heirs, assigns or successors in joint tenantry. Latterly, it became a question whether, under the patent of Governor Dono-an, all of the inhabitants of the town had not each an equal right in the undivided lands of the town. The records preserve this dis- tinction of tenure, and, upon the coming of a stranger into the place, it appears that he simply owned what he bought — a pur- chased freehold estate by no means entitled him to any share or right in the undivided land of the town. He might purchase a proprietor right, but the purchase itself proves the distinction of tenure. Such is the historical view of this question, the legal merits of which must be decided by the courts. The Settlement and the Settlers. 27 The time came when the proprietors, however, began to claim the products of the bays of the town, hitherto regarded, as in England, as jjroperty common to all the inhabitants. This claim was met by a counter-claim by the inhabitants in general, not only to these products, but to all the rights and privileges of the pro- prietors in land or water in the town. The basis of this claim was the patent of Governor Dongan, which, in their opinion, aboKshed all the proprietor rights. "Whether this claim was good we need not here discuss. The proprietors, however, were alarmed. De- cember 23, 1816, a town meeting was held, the whole matter dis- cussed and a committee of ten men was appointed on the part of the town to confer with the proprietors. It was further voted, " That this committee confer with the committee of the proprie tors, that if the proprietors will give up their exclusive right to the waters in the said town, the town at large will give up their right to the undivided land and meadows which the proprietors claim. Also for the town to have free access to the waters in any part of said town when they please, and to have all the jiroducts arising from said water." February 17, 1818, the affair, still remaining unsettled, a special town meeting was called in which two committees were appointed, respectively by the town and the proprietors, to agree upon a proper bill to be presented to the Legislature to settle the whole question forever. This bill was read and approved by both parties, and, being taken to Albanj^, passed the Legislature on the 15th of April of the same year. It vested in the trustees of the proprietors the right to supei-in- tend and manage, to sell, lease or partition, the undivided lands, meadows and mill-streams of the town, and that is all it did give them. It further says: "]^otliingiii the fore-recited act shall be construed to give the proprietors or their trustees any power to make laws, rules or regulations concerning the waters (other tlian the mill-streams), the fisheries, the sea-weed, or any other productions of the waters of said town, or in any manner or way to debar the inhabitants of said town from the privilege of taking sea-weed from the shores of any of the common lands of said town, or carting or transporting to or from, or landing prop- 28 History of Southampton. erty on said shores, in the manner heretofore practiced ; which waters, fisheries, sea-weed and productions of the waters shall be managed by the trustees of the freeholders and commonalty of the town of Southampton for the benefit of said town, as they had the power to do before the passing of this act." As Shinnecock Hills was then the common undivided property of the proprietors, the right to the sea- weed drifted on the shores thereof could not be sold with the sale of that tract in 1861. The rights that were given to the town in 1818 have never been alien- ated, and cannot be, except by the town itself. The common right of fishery in the town pond, in the two fresh ponds on the road to North Sea, and to old town pond is, therefore, for the same reason, as good and as clear to-day as it ever was. The right to the productions of Mecox and Shinnecock bays also remains vested in the commonalty of the town, as the town has, to this day, done nothing to alienate its rights therein. From the following extract from the town records, it will appear there was some difficulty with the Indians concerning the title of the colony to the lands of the town. " At a town meeting held in Southampton, the 23d day of No- vember, 1686, — it is agreed upon by major vote of the town that Major John Howell shall go to New York about the present affair of making good our title to our lands called into question at Shinnecock, and Henry Ludlam is likewise chosen to wait upon him. " At the same meeting it is ordered that the patentees concerned in our patent, shall make a conveyance of the land held within our township to the persons respectively, according to the inter- est of allotment of hundred and fifties, or fifties when they hold in this town. " Also, there are chosen six men to be a committee in behalf of the men, to give Major Howell his instructions, and also to at- tend Col. Youngs when he comes to hear the Indians acknowl- edge our deed ; and the men so chosen are Mr. Edward Howell, Henry Pierson, Matthew Howell, Thomas Cooper, Obadiah Rogers and Joseph Pierson." The immediate result of this ordef was the obtaininer of Gov- The Settlement and the Settlers. 29 ernor Dongan's Patent, dated December 6, 1686, which is given in the appendix. So far as the records show, this step appeared to quiet the Indians until 1703, when, as before narrated, they united in conveying the whole township again to the colonists. But besides this trouble with the Indians which is alluded to in the records above rather indefinitely, Governor Dongan issued an order that the towns on the east end of Long Island should take out a patent from himself. Against this order the people of Southampton protested on the ground that they were hving in peace and quiet possession of their lands under a patent ah-eady given by the Governor of the Colony of New York, and that an- other patent was superfluous. However, to keep the peace, and prevent trouble and litigation, they sent their committee as be- fore stated to obtain their patent. It is not easy to discover any good reason why Governor Dongan should issue such an order to these towns at that late day, unless to make a show of his official authority, or to increase the revenues of his office. As to the locality of the settlement, the mass of evidence goes to show it was for the first few years in the village alone. I con- cur with the opinion of Mr. Wm. S. Pelletreau, who says on this point : " Notwithstanding the common imjjression upon this sul)- ject, that settlements were begun simultaneously at North Sea, Sagabonack and Southampton, it is certain such was not the case ; nor is it at all probable that in the beginning of the settlement and at a time wlien there were but few families, and these in constant fear of the Indians, they would venture to scatter their numbers so widely." The first permanent one, after .the one at Southampton, was at North Sea, in 1650, when John Ogden re- ceived permission from the town to settle there with six families, who were to have 321 acres of land, and were to form a commu- nity by themselves upon conditions agreed upon as follow^s: "Feb. 21, 1649 \i. e. 1649-50]. It is granted by the major parte of this towne that Mr. Ogden and his company shall have Cow Neck and Jeffery Neck for their owne proper Riglit ; also, that they shall have for their planting Land in eif-he)' or both of said necks three hundred 24 Acres of said Land provided they set- tle upon it and upon the same grant they are to have all the 30 History of Southampton. meadow betwixt the brook by the Sachems house and Hogneck Spring for their proper Eight, provided it bee not above a mile from the sea side the North Sea : Upon these conditions follow- ing: first that they must pay to all Common Rates with the Towne after the rate of nine hundred pounds according to the takeings up of those men that dwell in the Towne : 21y that Hee shall plant there six farailyes or more that shall there Live and have there abode : Sly that In Case the whole bounds of the towne come to bee stinted for Cattell, then they must bee stinted for summer feed as they are that live at the towne : by the same Rule in Common Rates as aforesaid is alsoe included the misters means." The land at Sagg or Sagabonack as it was then called, was di- vided in 1653, and settled very soon after, since in an order of the court it is mentioned that Josiah Stanbrough had a residence there in 1658. In 1670, there was quite a settlement upon the east side of Sagabonack pond (whence the present village of Sagg derives its name), and along the shores of Mecox bay. In 1679, Mecox is spoken of as "lately layed" out to the inhabitants, and in 1680, Hogneck to be " suddenly " (^. e. soon), divided. The names of the eight original "undertakers" are as follows; Edwa]-d Howell, Edmond Farrington, Edmund Needham, Thomas Sayre, Josiah Stanborough, George "Welbe, Henry "Walton, Job Sayre, and, if we include the Captain of the Yes- sel, Daniel How, making nine. To these were added eleven other heads of families before the company departed from Lynn, viz. : John Cooper, AUen Breed, William Harker, Thomas Halsey, Thomas Newell, John Farrington, Richard Odell, Philip Kyrtland, Nathaniel liirtland, Thomas Farrington and Thomas Terry. During the next few years, the settlement was further in- creased by the coming of Richard Barrett, William Barker, William Barnes, John Bishop, Robert Bond (1643), John Bost- wick, Thomas Burnett, Ellis Cook, John Cory (1643), Samuel Dayton, Fulk Davis, Christopher Foster, John Gosmer, Thomas Goldsmith, James Hampton, John Hand, James Herrick The Settlement and the Settlers. 31 Thomas Hildreth, John Jagger, John Jennings, John Jessup, Anthony Lucllam,_John Lum or Loom, Robert Merwin, Rich- ard Mills, John Moore, William Mulford, Robert Norris, John Oldfields, John Ogden, Henry Pierson, Richard Post, Joseph Raynor, William Rogers, Robert Rose, Richard Smyth, Rich- ard Stratton, Thomas Talmage, Thomas Topping, William Wells (1643), John White, Isaac Willmau and John Woodruff.

CHAKACTER OF THE SEITLERS. Of the character of oar ancestors there can be no question. They were men of sterling worth, the Puritans of England. They were more than mere colonists — thej were the exponents of a new civihzation founded on the idea, that under God, men could govern themselves. Their flight from England and self- exile on these shores was the strongest protest they could give against the divine right of kings in civil and religious govern- ment. That they acknowledged Christ as the only head over his church is not only manifest in their actions, but also in the touch- ing language at the close of the "articles of agreement," given in the appendix, " and that whensoever it shall please the Lord, and he shall see it good to adde to us such men as shall be fitt matter for a Church, that then wee will in that thinge lay our- selves down before the Constitutes thereof, either to bee or not to bee received as members thereof, accordinge as they shall discern the work of God to be in our heart." That they were men of intelligence, is seen in their free char- ter, their just laws, and Hberal institutions. They secured in their patent, land [tenure hy gavelkind"^ which had from time imme- morial prevailed in the county of Kent, in England. While the tenures in all other counties of England had been more or less burdened from the time of the Norman conquest with restrictions, liabilities, or knight service, the Kentish men had always held their land in free and common socage ; contributing only pro- portionally their share in the expenses of government. In addi- tion, upon the death of a landholder intestate, instead of the real estate devolving upon the eldest son, the more equitable and democratic custom prevailed of dividing it equally among all the surviving children. * 1 Blackstone, 74. Character of the Settlers. 47 At the foundation of their colony they adopted for their gov- ernment the * " Laws of Jndgment as given by Moses to tlie Commonwealth of Israel, so farre foarth as they bee of worrath, tliat is, of perpetuall and universall equity among all nations." Like the Jewish Commonwealth too, the form of government was a kind of theocracy. Church and State were united, and its head was the Lord Jesus Christ. Offenses which would now be tried (if at all) by courts ecclesiastical, were then tried by the General Court of Freemen. A taxation, ^rt? rata, was levied on all property to raise the salary of the minister. Even the right of suffrage appears for some little time to have been confined to the members of the church. It was the difference of opinion on this question, whether any but church members should exercise the right of freemen, that induced the Rev. Abraham Fierson to leave them for a connec- tion with the New Haven Colony, in 1647, Southampton having united with the Hartford or Connecticut Colony, in 1644. The JSTew Haven people, led by John Davenport, were for giving the rights of freemen only to the members of the church — the Hart- ford Colony would open the door to all. However this question may appear to us in this day, still there is something striking — something that reminds us of the stern uncompromising spirit of the old prophets in the doctrine that no man was fit to govern or legislate for others until he was himself obedient to the laws of Cod. They were formed into a church organization at Lynn, a few months after a settlement had been effected in Southampton, and brought over their minister witli them, the Rev. Abraham Fier- son, and erected their first church edifice in the second year of their settlement. Like their brothers in New England, wherever they went, the school-house, too, followed in their wake. It is worthy of remark, that of the twenty wlio signed the articles of agreement, four only were obliged to sign by proxy, at a period when many a baron in England was compelled to make his mark. Some peculiarities they had — faults too, doubtless, and yet they were men to be honored for their bravery and revered for their virtues. * See Appendix. 48 History of Southampton. Tliej were also men of means and of good social standing in tlie mother comitrj. Of one of their number, an eminent man, ill correspondence, writes : " He was a gentlemen of coat-armor, and his place in the settlement always magistrate — the proprietor of the mill (like the old French Sieurs, and English Lords of the manor,) and the acknowledged head in everything, coupled with the style and manner of such writings of his as I have seen, suf- ficiently show that he was of the best class of those which came over — the class which included Winthrop and Humphrey." In Governor Dongan's report of the Province of New York, in 1687, occurs something more equivocal. He says : '*' The first year there was £j'2 offered for tlie Excise of Long Island, but I thought it unreasonable, it being the best peopled place in this Government, and wherein iheres great consumjytion of Rumm, and therefor I gave commission to Mr. NichoUs and Mr. Yaugh- ton, ifcc. * * * Most part of the people of that Island, espec- ially towards the east end, are of the same stamp witli those of New England, refractory and very loath to have any commerce with this place to the great detrimnt of revenue and ruin of our Merchants." Although this village is now of but little importance in wealth and population compared with the large cities and towns of the Empire State, yet in the earlj' times it was far different. Its name appears on all the old charts and maps of this period alone, of all the villao-eson the east end of Lono: Island. And Governor Andros in a letter (N". Y, Col. Hist., v. 3, p. t^(31) of answei-s to inquiries about New York says, among other things, " Our principall places of Trade are New York and Southampton, ex- cept Albany for the Indyans, &c." In 1703, Wm. Yesey, in a report of the state of the churches in the Province of New York, says : " In Suffolk County, in the East end of Long Island, there is neither a church of England minister, nor any provision made for one by law, the people gen- erally being Independents and upheld in their seperation* by New England Emissaries." *Sic. Charactkr of the Settlers. 49 There is oue other feature iu their laws which merits our attention. With all their puritanic strictness, they allowed more freedom of conscience than was usual in that period of intolerance, whether ' in England under the Stuarts, or in New England among the Independents. Toleration was practised so far as to allow the existence of heretical doctrine, provided the dissenter confined his dissent or unbelief to his own bosom. The legal prohibition was directed only against tlie promulgation of false doctrine. This liberality in matters of conscience and religious belief, was far in advance of that persecuting spirit, which stains the history of these times through the civilized world. Their puritanic principles made their mark on the civilization and morals of the community, that lingers even to this day, and for purity of morals and sobriety of life, the village will only find a parallel in those other villages, where dwell the descendants of the Pilgrim Fathers of ]S"ew England, 50 History of Southampton. CHAPTER V. CIVIL RELATIONS — PURE DEMOCRACY — UNION WITH CONNECTICUT WITH NEW YORK DUTCH INTERREGNUM AGAIN WITH NEW YORK. The civil relations of the colony afford an interesting field for investigation. In the very beginning the principle of self-govern- ment is developed in admirable perfection. For the first four years, these thirty or forty families formed a little republic by themselves. It was a pure democracy without a parallel, save in the short-lived republics of ancient Greece. For the time being, Southampton was their country^ and we cannot bestow too high praise on their efforts to secure justice and equal rights and pro- tection to every individual. They reversed the maxim of Louis XI v., " I am the State " — with them the State was the people, and for the people, and not the people for the State. K town meeting, or General Court, as it was called, was held half-yearly, composed of the adult males, who were obliged to attend regu- larly under penalty of a fine. This court exercised the extra- ordinary powers of a legislature and a judiciary ; defined the limits and powers of the magistrate's court; received and decided appeals from the same ; was the proper tribunal for trying crimes punishable with death (though happily they were spared from any such duty) ; settled civil cases ; allotted lands and elected offi- cers ; enacted a code of laws founded on those given by Moses to the Jewish nation ; made by-laws and regulations necessary to the safety and well-being of the community, and had general supervision over the interests of the body politic. These powers are defined in an act of the General Court, passed January 2, 1641. *For reasons that do not appear on the record, they deemed it *May 29, 1643, the plantations of Massachusetts, New Plymouth, Connecticut and New Haven, with the plantations in combination with them, adopted articles of confederation for their mutual welfare and protection. Felt (Eccles. Hist, of N. E., VI, p. 563) says that on the 9th of September, 1644, the com- missioners of this confederation consented to the application of Southampton to come under the jiu-isdiction of the Connecticut colony. Hazard State Papers, v. 2, p. 7, seems to assign this event to the date of September 7, 1643. Civil Relations. 51 expedient to unite themselves to the colony of Connecticut, which union occurred in 1645, as will appear from the following order : March 7, 1643-4. " It was voted and consented vnto by the Generall Court, that the towne of Southampton, shall enter into combinacon with the Jurisdiction of Conuecticote." The date of this union with Connecticut has been a subject of some difference, but the records of Southampton afford enough evidence to settle the question. *Trumbull in his history after the marginal date of October 25, 1644, says: "A little before this Southampton through Edward Howell, John Grosmer and John Moore petitioned to be received in the jurisdiction of Con- necticut." The exact date of the union is stated in the following decision of the General Court. June 20, 1657. " At a Towne Meeting it was voated and con- cluded by the major part to accept of, and receave all the lawes of the Jurisdiction of Conneckticot, .not crossing nor contradict- ing the limetations of our combination bearing date. May 30, 1645." These articles copied from Trumbull's Colonial Records of Con- necticut, vol. i, p. 566, are as follows : "A coppie of ye combynation of Southampton, wth Harford. " Whereas formerly sume Ouerturs haue by letters paste be- twixt sume deputed by the Jurissdiction of Conectecote and others of ye plantation of Southampton vpon Long Island, con- cerning vnion into one boddy and gouernment, whereby ye said Towne might be interested in ye general combination of ye vnited Collonies for prossecution and issuing wherof, Edward Hopkins and John Haines being authorised wth power from ye Generall Corte for ye Jurisdiction of Conecticute, and Edward Howell, John Gosraer and John More, deputed by ye Towne of South- ampton, It was by the said parties concluded & agreed, and ye said Towne of Southampton doe by their said deputies, for tliem- selues and their successors assotiate and joyne themselves to ye Jurisdiction of Conecticote to be subject to al the lawes there es- *Hist. of Conn., p. 130. 52 History of Southampton. tablished, according to ye word of God and right reson wth such exceptions & limmitations as are hereafter expressed.

By the original charter of the Connecticut colony the executive power was vested in the Governor and four magistrates. As the colony increased, the number of magistrates was enlarged, and each town had one or more. It must be remembered that this, the colony of Connecticut, was a separate one from the New Haven colony, which latter was begun in the fall of 1637, when Mr. Thcophilus Eaton with others, went out on an exploring ex- pedition, and settled themselves about the Quinnipiac river at the Civil Relations. 55 the head of what is now J^ew Haven harbor. *From this colony thus commenced, came the founders of Southold, who, about the middle of October, 1640, formed themselves into a church organi- zation at that place. In 1645, on the 30th of May, the articles of combination of Southampton were signed. This made it necessary for the South- ampton magistrates to attend officially the general court of elec- tion, which occurred at Hartford on the second Thursday in May. There was a second general court held in Hartfoi'd in the month of October, which until 1662 was presided over by the Governor and the bench of magistrates, for the enactment of all necessary laws, and for the transaction of other public busi- ness.f In April, 1662, a new charter was granted to or imjjosed upon the Connecticut colony, ordaining that there should be an- nually two general assemblies, consisting of the Governor, Deputy- Governor and twelve assistants (magistrates) with two deputies from each town. These assemblies were to be held as before, on the second Thursdays of May and October, and for the same pur- poses. About this time (1662) the N^ew Haven was united to the Connecticut colony, and in the same year Southold came under the jurisdiction of the Connecticut colony. It would appear from a comparison of the Southampton and the Connecticut records, that while the former town uniformly elected three magistrates, only two of these were accustomed to attend the General Court at Hartford as representatives of their townsmen. *" It also appears that New Haven, or their confederates, purchased and settled Yennycock or Southold on Long Island. Mr. John Youngs, who had been a minister at Hingham, Eng- land, came over with a considerable part of his church, and here fixed his residence. He gathered his church anew on the 21st of October, 1640, and the planters united themselves with New Haven." Trmnbull's Hist. Ct., vol. 1, p. 119. But this plantation ceased to be a dependency or a property of New Haven soon aftsr, for (Col. Rec. of Ct., vol. 1, p. 110), at a General Court held at New Haven, October 23, 1643, this language is used: " And whereas Stamforde, Guilforde, Yennicock have upon the same foundations and ingagements entered into combination with vs,"' iSic. There had been, therefore, at that date already, a union similar to that of Southampton with Connecticut, in 104.5. Palfrey says the settlers came from Norfolk, England, and settled here October, 1640. East Hampton united with the Con- necticut colony in 1057, and Setauket was also admitted a member of the same October 6, 1658.

In 1659, '60 and '61 by Thomas Baker and Robert Bond. In 1662 and '63 by Thomas Baker, and in 1664 by John Mulford and Robert Bond. As before stated, March 12, 1664, Charles II. granted with other territory Long Island and Islands adjacent, to his brother James, Duke of York, and in the following August, New York was surrendered by the Dutch to Col. Richard Nicolls. Under the patent granted to Connecticut, November 30, 1644, that province claimed jurisdiction over Long Island. This question of boundaries was referred to Commissioners of Charles, who decided that " the Southern bounds of Connecticut is the sea," and that Long Island belonged to New York. Governor Winthrop on seeing the letters-patent to the Duke of York, informed the English on Long Island, that Connecticut had no longer any claims upon that Island. This union with New York, however, was very unacceptable to the inhabitants of the east end of the Island. Their inter- course with the towns along the Connecticut river was frequent, and in customs, education and religion they were identical with their New England brethren. A considerable trade had grown up between the three towns on the east end and Connecticut, and the efforts of his Royal Highness' officials to divert this to New York, met with hearty remonstrance. An extract from a report of Gov. Nicolls about 1669, in Doc. Hist, of New York, Yol. i, p. 87, will show the change effected in the government of the town by its union with New York. " 1st. The Governor and Councell with the High Sheriffe and the Justices of the Peace in the Court of the Generall Assizes, have the Supreame Power of making, altering and abolishing any Laws in this Government [of the province of N. Y.] The County Ses- sions are held by Justices upon the Bench. Particular Town Courts by a Constable and eight Overseers. The City Court of New Yorke by a Mayor and Alderman. All causes tried by Juries." 58 History of Southampton. A copy of the code of laws by which the government of the Province of New York was administered was sent to the town and is still in good state of preservation. These laws are familiarly known in the history of IN^ew York as the " Duke's laws," i. e., those of James, Duke of York and Albany. They were compiled partly from the several laws in force in the the Massachusetts and Connecticut colonies, but shaped in the interest of the government by Nicolls at the court of assizes, held in New York in June, 1664, Govenor Nicolls calling a convention or assembly representing the counties of Suffolk, Queens and Westchester, ostensibly for the purpose of settling the boundaries of the towns in these counties, but chiefly to lay before them this code of laws and secure their assent to the same. This last was grudgingly given by some of the towms of the east end of Long Island, inasmuch as they were not deemed as liberal as those of New England. This assembly met at Hempstead, Feb- ruary 28, 1664-5. These laws erected Long Island, Staten Island and Westchester into a shire called Yorkshire, which was divided into three Ridings or court districts, Suffolk county being the east Kiding, Kings County, Staten Island, and Newtown the west Ri- ding, and Queens County the north Riding.

They shall hold and possess all their goods and lawfully procm-ed lands on condition that said land be duly recorded. 3d.

In case any of the Dutch towns shall send Deputies, the same shall in like manner be allowed the petitioners. On the 7th and 8th Articles it is ordered, that the petitioners shall be considered and treated as all other subjects of the Dutch nation and be allowed to enjoy the same privileges with them 9th Article cannot in this conjuncture of time, be allowed. 10th Article: 'Tis allowed that all the foregoing particular contracts and bargains shall stand in full force. Why the council of Governor Colve chose thus to snub the English in these five towns in the matter of providing a few whale irons and necessary tackle for capturing the whales that happened along the coast, is inconceivable. The followinof is the oath which the Dutch government re- quired to be taken by the inhabitants of the eastern towns of Long Island. " Oath of Fidelity. " Wee do sware in the presents of the Almighty God, that wee shall be true and faithfull to 3^0 high & mighty Lords ye States Gennerall of ye united Belgick Provinces and his serene high- nesse the Prince of Orange and to their Governrs here for the time being, and to ye utmost of our power to pi-event all what shall be attempted against the same, but nppon all occasions to be- have ourselves as true & faithfull subjects in conscience are bound to do, provided that wee sbal not be forced in amies against our owne nation, if they are sent by a Lawf ull commission from his Majesty of England. Soo help us God." This oath was refused to be taken by the men of East Hamp- ton, Southampton, Southold and Huntington, they understanding that it was to be administered to then- Magistrates only, in behalf Civil Kelations. 63 of the people. Whereupon the Dutch sent a vessel to compel the people to take it in October, 1673. The commissioners came from New York in the frigate " Zee- hond," arrived at Southold, and called a meeting of the inhabit- ants to take the oath of allegiance to the Dutch Government. The flag of the Prince of Orange was brought in and displayed. Failing in their attempts to force the oath upon the Southold people, they resolved to break up the assembly and depart. An extract from the frigate's Journal affords an interesting item : " On leaving the place, some inhabitants of SouthanijDton were present ; among the rest one John Cooper who told Mr. Steen- wyck, to take care and not appear with that thing at Southamp- ton, which he more than once repeated : for the Commissioners, agreeably to their commission, had intended to go thither next morning. Whereupon Mr. Steenwyck asked what he meant by that word thing^ to which said John Cooj^er replied, the Prince's Flag : then Mr. Steenwyck inquired of John Cooper if he said so of himself or on the authority of the Inhabitants of Southampton. He answered. Rest satisfied that I warn you, and take care that you come not with that Flag within range of shot of our village." They did not visit South and East Hampton fearing they would "do more harm than good." The commissioners, on their return to New York, reported that the inhabitants of these towns " ex- hibited an utter aversion thereto, making use of gross insolence, threats, &c., so that the commissioners were obliged to return their object unaccomplished." Doubtless this was a very sorry report for the countrymen of Van Tromp to be compelled to give of their ill-success in reduc- ing these truculent Puritans to subjection, and it might have been expected — the idea of treating these people as subdued rebels and subjects of executive clemency was simply ridiculous. Governor Winthrop did ail in his power to help the Long Island people in this difficulty. In the month of August of this year, 1673, previous to the visit of the " Zeehond," the Southampton people addressed a let- ter to the New England colonies, setting forth the demand of the Dutch to surrender to the arms of the Prince of Orange, and 64 History of Southampton. their deplorable situation, and tlie necessity through their weak- ness, to submit to these demands, this declaration serving to re- move any odium attaching to their sudden and unvrished for change of allegiance. On the receipt of this John Wiuthrop, Major of the Connecticut mihtia, was sent with such force as could be spared in a vessel to Southold, to assist the Long Island people, "^February 25, 1673-4, Major Winthrop writes from Southold of a spirited engagement between his forces and the " Snow," a Dutch ship, with one ketch and two sloops, who first summoned the town of Southold to surrender. Upon this Major Winthrop in command replied ,: " Sir : . . . I am here appointed by the authority of his Majesty's colony of Connecticutt, to secure these people, in obe- dience to his Majesty and by God's assistance I hope to give a good account thereof, and 3^011 may assure yourself that I will re- ceive you in the same condition as a person that disturbs his Majestys subjects." Captain John Howell, with forty soldiers from Southampton, and twenty from East Hampton, came promptly at the summons of Major Winthrop for assistance, and took part in this engage- ment. The Dutch withdrew their forces and the last that was seen of them the A^essels were on their return passage through " Plumme Gutt." But their High Mightinesses were soon compelled to surrender a second time the province of New York to the English crown. It Avas in July, 1073, that Captain Manning, commander of Fort James, in the absence of Governor Lovelace, made the surrender of New York to the Dutch, and November 10, 1674, the Dutch Governor Colve again surrendered it to Edmund Andros, in be- half of the King of England. Thus closes the history of the ci\'il changes of the town down to the war of the revolution. Here it may be jjroper to relate one incident that grew out of the English repossession of New York, illustrating the high and mighty way persons in authority in those days were apt to deal with their subjects. As soon as the new Governor, Andros, was firmly in his seat at New York, to increase his revenues he turns * Winthrop Papers, Mass. Hist.

In response they unite in sending him the following letter, found on record in the State archives at Albany, Council Minutes, vol. 3, pt. 2, p. 7.

In desiring to engage in the business of reissuing patents, Governor Andros, and after him Governor Dongan, only did on a small scale what their sovereigns had been doing and did all the time — that is, to issue to com- pany after company of applicants, or to some royal relative or fa- Civil Relations. 67 vorite, patents for the same land over and over again. Thus the charter of Connecticut gave to that colony the land west of the Connecticut river to thej3reseut boundary of Js^ewYork ; and the charter of 'New York, given in 1664, grants to that colony the tract of land eastward to the Connecticut river. So long: as the golden stream continued to flow into the royal revenues, however, it mattered little to the monarch how his subjects in distant America settled their disputes growing out of these conflicting grants. Doubtless Charles the Second looked upon it all as a good joke. However, to complete this episode in the history of the three towns, we may add, they were compelled to obey the Governor's mandate and take out new patents. And soon after, to answer the many charges against him of malfeasance of office, their lofty master was himself put under arrest and sent back to England, and another reigned in his stead. 68 History of Southampton. CHAPTER VI. DURING- THE EEVOLTJTIONABY WAR OCCUPATION BY THE BRITISH PERSONAL INCIDENTS COLONIES SOLDIERS IN THE SLAVE- HOLDERS REBELLION. During the Revolutionary war the people of Suffolk county were exposed to peculiar hardships. So remote from the field of operations, it was a region strategically not worth defending, but by its wealth of forage and stock well M'orth the attention of the enemy while in occupation of New York. Until recently it has not been known how extensively the inhabitants participated in the actual struggle in the field, nor has another element in the history of the Island during this period been estimated at its due importance in influencing the condition of the people. This was the oath of allegiance to the British crown exacted by Governor Try on of the islanders, and will be referred to presently in the course of the narrative. There are four factors in the history of the war in Long Island, or four several points to be treated in writing this history. The first is the preliminary steps showing the spirit with wliich they entered into the contest. Second^ the battle of Long Island overthrowing all the plans of the inhabitants and of the commanding ofiicer for the protection of the Island. Third, the oath of allegiance that sent all that could get away into exile within our lines on the main, chiefly in Connecticut, it being under- stood that a liberal representation were fighting in the field. Fourth^ occupation by the British for seven long years while the land was plundered by friend and foe. In the first place •the people of English descent on the Island were intensely loyal to freedom and the cause of independence. Taking Southampton and East Hampton as examples of the patriotic feeling generally pervading the east end of the Island, we learn from the records in the office of the Secretary of State of New York * just what was done in those first days that ushered in the war of independence. * Calendar of historical MSS. relating to the war of the Revolution, published in 1868. During the Revolutionaky Wae. 69 As early as the sunitner of 1775, associations were formed through- out the county composed of the male inhabitants capable of bear- ingarms, from 16 to 50 years of age, the members of which pledged themselves to the support of the measures of the provincial con- gress, and the union of the American colonies to resist the oppres- sion of the British government. Every male inhabitant in East Hampton and Southampton signed his name to this instrument of association. In Southampton two or three hesitated at first, but soon joined with their neighbors in this pledge of resistance to the claims of royalty. As the signs of war became more ominous this feeling crystallized in tlie formation of two regiments, whose services were ready at the call of their country. April 5, 1776, the First Regiment of Suiiolk county reported thirteen companies, 1030 men, officers and privates, made up from the county west and north of Southampton. February 10, 1776, the Second Regiment reported nine companies, 760 officers and privates, of whom East Hampton furnished two companies, Bridge Hampton two, Sag Harbor and Bridge Hampton jointly two, and Southampton three companies. Bridge Hampton doubtless furnished as many as three companies. In addition to these. Bridge Hampton, East Hampton and Southampton furnished a company of minute men to act as a home guard. The staff officers of the Second Regiment were David Mulford, Colonel ; Jonathan Hedges of Bridge Hamp- ton, Lieut- Colonel and Uriah Rogers and George Herrick of Southampton, Majors ; Adjutant, Jolm Gelston ; Quar. Master, Phineas Howell ; Sergt. Major, Lemuel Pierson ; Drum Major, Elia_s_Matthews. This was the first step, the preliminary work to the fast coming contest. When General Sir William Howe awoke one morning and saw that General Washington had during the night occupied and fortified Dorchester Heights which commanded Boston and its harbor, he saw that for the time being New England was lost. He accordingly sailed away with all his forces to Halifax, pre- liminary to moving on New York. Washington divined his plans, and sent a large body of troops who were posted, some in the city and some, the largest body, on Long Island in the rear of Brook- 70 History of Southampton. lyn, guarding the approaches to the city. Tour days after the land- ing of the troops of General Howe on Staten Island, his brother, Admiral Richard Howe, arrived with reinforcements, and then the American army of 9,000 troops was confronted with the Brit- ish and Hessians to the number of 30,000. The British, under General Clinton, landed 10,000 troops in the rear of the Americans on Long Island, and marched upon them in three divisions. On the 2'rth of August, 1776, the opposing forces met and began the famous battle of Long Island, so disastrous to the cause of the patriots, and one that was lost through the neglect to fortify or guard one of the approaches to the American position. In this battle were engaged, besides the two Long Island regi- ments before mentioned, two other bodies of troops, as follows : A regiment of minute men, whose officers were, Col., Josiah Smith, of ' Moriches; Lieut. -Col., John Hulbert, of East Hampton; 1st Major, Isaac Reeve, of Southold ; 2d Major, Jonathan Baker, of East Hampton ; Adj., Ephraim Marvin; Qr.

The second military organization was an Artillery Company at- tached to Col. Smith's Minnte Regiment, the officers of which were as follows * Capt., William Rogers, of B. H. ; Capt. Lieut., Jolin Franks; 1st Lieut., Jeremiah Rogers; 2d Lieut,, Thomas Baker, of E. H. ; Lt. Fireworker, John Tuthill. The rosters of these military bodies have never been published excepting that of Col. Smith in Munsell's History of New York, and it is not known whether they are in existence. A third regiment of Suffolk county is mentioned and commis- sions were issued to its officers, but no roster has been found. There is a paper in the archives of the State Library indorsed " Return of the names of the persons for officers of the Second Battalion in Suffolk county, taken according to the directions of the Provincial Congress by the committees of East Hampton and Southampton." I suppose this to be the list of the commissioned officers of the Second Regiment whose staff officers were before mentioned, but of the regiment as reconstructed after the battle of Long Island. The list is as follows : PiRST Company. Capt., David Howell ; 1st Lieut., Jeremiah Post ; 2d Lieut., Paul Jones ; Ensign, Zephaniah Rogers. Second Company. Capt., John Dayton ; 1st Lieut., Isaac Mulford Huntting ; 2d Lieut., John. Miller, Jr.; Ensign, William Hedges. Third Company. Capt., David Pierson; 1st Lieut., Daniel Hedges; 2d Lieut., David Sayre; Ensign, Theophilus Pierson. 72 History of Southampton. Fourth Company. Capt., David Fithian; 1st Lieut., Samuel Coukling; 3d Lieut., Thomas Baker; Ensign, Daniel Conkling. Fifth Company.

Capt., William Rogers; 1st Lieut., Jesse Halsey; 2d Lieut., Henry Halsey; Ensign, Nathaniel Rogers. Seventh Company. Capt., Josiah Howell; 1st Lieut., Nathaniel Howell; 2d Lieut., Matthew Howell; Ensign, William Stephens. Eighth Company. Capt., Samuel L'Hommedieu; 1st Lieut., Silas Jessup; 2d lAeut., Edward Conkling; Ensign, Daniel Fordham. \NiNTH Company. Capt., John Sandford; 1st Lieut., Edward Topping; 3d Lieut., Philip Howell; Ensign, John Hildreth. The officers above named of the " battalion " were commissioned September 13, 1775, and were composed of some of those of Colonel Smith's Minute Regiment which was disbanded as a regi- ment after the battle of Long Island, as it is reported, by the orders of Washington, in order that such as svas needed to protect their homes should return, and others as preferred could enlist under a new organization. The third element in the history of this war was the oath of allegiance exacted by Governor Tryon. This included the prom- ise not only to refrain from engaging actively in war, but also from furnishing any supplies to the American army and from harboring or assisting in any way those who were in the field. In short, as Rev. Dr. Buel of East Hampton wrote in bitter irony, they were " subjects of his Majesty, King Greorge." Large numbers were compelled to remain for the support of their families. Many heads of families to avoid taking the oath of allegiance fled to Connecticut, and remained while their farms were tilled by slaves During the Revolutionary War. 73 Tinder the direction of the women or some neighbor who could not get away. These were frequently men past the age of bear- ing arms but ntterly unwilling to take the oath of allegiance. Dr. Buel of East Hampton, in correspondence with Governor Tryon, made vigorous endeavors to mitigate the terms of this oath, but all his efforts seemed to be in vain. So revolting was it to the feelings of the 2)eople tliat tillage was neglected, and only enough land was cultivated to keep the inhabitants from starvation, while the heads of families above fifty years of age to escape insult and imprisonment of person and confiscation of property were com- pulsory exiles in a neighboring colony. Not all fled thither — not all conld. Some had wives or sisters or daughters to j)rotect, and some were too poor or too infirm to dej^art and were com- pelled to remain as " subjects of his Majesty King George." Mere neutrality did not satisfy the royal Governor. Not only the allegiance to the crown, but material aid in carrying on the war was demanded and taken. This brings us to the fourth element in the history, the British occupation from the battle of Long Island to the evacuation of New York city, November 25, 1783. During all this seven years the Island groaned under the oppressive occupation of their soil by the hostile invader. Their circumstances exposed them, however, to sufferings and outrages from both par- ties. Their forced submission to the Royal Army (their misfor- tune, nut their fault), caused them to be Aaewed with suspicion by their brethren upon the continent, and often invited parties of plunder from that quarter. Multitudes fled for shelter and pro- tection to the shores of Connecticut. "Dr. Buell writes from E. Hampton, Sept'r 22, '76, that the People are as a torch on fire at both ends, which will speedily be consumed, for the Oont. Whiggs carry off their stock and pro- duce, and the British punish them for letting it go, — hoiDCS the "Whigs will not oppress the oppressed^ but let the stock alone. " The history of that seven years' suffering will never be told. Philosophy has no adequate remedy for silent, unknown, unpitied suffering. . . . Left to the tender mercies of the foe ; plun- dered by countiyman and stranger of their property and ripened harvest ; robbed of the stores which they reaped and garnered ; 10 74 HisTOKY OF Southampton. slandered by suspicious brethren ; taunted and scolied at by the mercenary victors, they never wavered. Their hearts were in their country's cause ; and in the memorable language of their great compatriot, ' sink or swim, live or die, survive or perish,' they were true to their country. Unterriiied, unalterable, de- voted Americans." * Aside from these occasional raids, from friend and foe, the winter of 1778-9 was memorable for the occupation of South- ampton by the British. A squadron of cavalry were quartered there, who, by their disregard to the rights of property and usages of war, contrived to gain the ill-will of all the inhabitants. One old house standing in 1866 still bore marks on the kitchen floor of the axe of the British quartermaster. They constructed two or three small earth-works or forts overlooking the. town, the es- carpments of one of which are still quite sharply defined, f There were two small iron field pieces, caiTonades, in possession of the town, which the inhabitants, it is said, placed in the belfry of the church as weights to the town clock, to prevent them from falling into the hands of the enemy. It is certain one of them was re- moved thence in 18i3, when the spii-e was demolished, and the other had been used for many years on the anniversaries of our nation's independence. Onderdonk, in his Revolutionary incidents of Sufiblk and Kings counties, cites some of the newspapers of the day, which state that in February, 1779, fourteen companies of light infantry, 700 men, were quartered at Southampton. In March the force was increased to 2,500 men by the coming of General Clinton with a body of troops. In April of the same year 500 foot and 50 horse were in Southold, and 100 men and two field pieces at Sag Harbor. The number of men actually in possession was a vary- ing quantity, as the plans and circumstances chanced to determine. During the occupation by the British, such frequent calls for forage were made upon the farmers that sufficient food did not remain for their own stock. A kind Providence, however, pro- * Hon.

During the Revolutionary War. 75 vided for their wants. The frost came out of the ground early in February, and continuous warm weather brought out the grass abundantly, and their cattle were saved from starvation. However, the rigors of a military occupation were somewhat softened in Southampton by the presence of the commander-in- chief, Lord Erskine. He had his, headquarters while remaining here in the house late the residence of William S. Pelletreau. He was a man of integrity and even-handed justice and restrained to some degree the soldiers quartered in Southampton from com- mitting the depredations so common in the neighboring parish of Bridge Hampton. It is said that his coming here prevented the use of the church for stabling purposes, which was the design of the officer in command before Lord Erskine's arrival. At length, having become convinced of the injustice of the cause of Eng- land in her quarrel with the Colonies, lie resigned liis commission and returned to Europe. A Mr. Benjamin Foster, who resided in a locality known by the name of Littleworth, had one or more jycttj officers quartered in his house. He was a very devout man and not ashamed to owii his Lord. One of these British officers one day asked him in derision to pray with him. Mr. Foster rephed that he had regu- lar hours for prayer, and if he would come in the morning when the family were assembled for prayers he should be welcome. This the officer did, bringing with him a comarade to enjoy the proceeding. But his comrade soon divined the motive which led his brother in arms to such an unusual scene, and having at least a respect for religion and his worthy host, immediately after prayer took up a hymn book near him and read aloud : " If some proper hour appear, I'll not be overawed ; But let the scoffing sinner hear. That I can speak for God." Major Cochrane was the commanding officer at Bridge Hampton while the Island was occupied by the British. He is still remem- bered as a merciless tyrant. He once caused a peaceable and inoffensive man, William Kussell by name, to be tied up and whipped till the blood ran down to his feet, and this with no ade- quate provocation. As before remarked, the people of this parish 76 HisTOBY OF Southampton. suffered much from the lawless soldiery — not only from noc- turnal marauders, but from vandalism perpetrated in open day- light. Cattle were wantonly carried off, forage seized without payment, loose property appropriated and even furniture in their dwellings demohshed. They came to the house of Mr. Lemuel Pierson and turned him out. Against their orders he was deter- mined to carry off some of his furniture, and although they stood over him with drawn sword, he persisted and gained his point. At another time they came to his house to secm-e any plunder that might offer itself. Mrs. Pierson was alone in the house with young children, but nothing daunted met them at the door with a kettle of hot water and threatened to scald the first man who attempted to enter her doors ; and the British, thinking discre- tion the better part of valor, quietly retreated. At another time a number of British soldiers, with blackened faces and coats turned inside out, came at night to the house of Mr. Edward Topping. Mr. Topping Avas awakened by their noise, and, seizing his gun, ran to defend his castle from the intruders. A window was raised from the outside and a man appeared about to make an entrance. Mr. Topping commanded him to retire and threatened to shoot if he persisted. No atten- tion Avas paid to his warning, however, and, as the man was climb- ing in, he shot, and the soldier fell back dead. He was carried oft' by his comrades, and the next morning word was sent to Gen. Erskine at Southampton. He came over to Bridge Hampton, in- vestigated the affair, and having learned the facts, said to the British soldiers iiround him : " Is that one of your best men ? Dom him, (kicking the body,) take him down to the ocean and bury him below high water mark." And so ended the affair, which under Major Cochrane might have had for Mr. Topping a more tragical termination. David Hand of this Township, residing in Sag Harbor, was a sailor both in privateers and vessels of the na,vj during the Revo- lution. He experienced with many others, the horrors of the Jersey prison ship. On one occasion a small frigate of the navy was captured after a short action by a British vessel of superior armament, off the harbor of Charleston. Being a carpenter he During the Revolutionary War. 77 was detailed to make repairs on the prize with promise of pay by the English coinmander. After the repairs were completed, he was taken in a boat to the British frigate. When about half way between the two vessels, at a signal from the coxswain, the oars were hove up, and after a fruitless struggle on his part, his clothes were taken by the sailors and divided among them. On their arrival at the British vessel, he marched up to the commander and demanded restitution of his clothing, but gained no further sat- isfaction than a surly, ' ' Go and find them — I have got nothing to do about that." He then asked for his promised j)ay for repairs of the American frigate, and he was equally unsuccessful. Com- pletely disgusted with the " perfidious Albion," he said to the captain : "All I ask now is, to begin at your taifrail rail, and fight the whole ship's creAV forward, and die like a man." The captain, of course, paid no attention to this, and he was ordered forward among the other prisoners. Having survived all the dangers of the war, he lived long, a man of note and respectability, honored by his fellow citizens for his bravery and manly virtues. Thomas and Abraham, sons of Ethan Halsey, also served in the war of the Revolution. It has been impossible up to this date to ascertain the number of men of the east end, who served in the Revolutionary war, but the number was considerable. Captain Henry Halsey, of Southampton, informed the writer that his grandfather, Jesse Halsey, and another man, on hearing the news of the battle of Lexington, and the movement of the British forces on Boston, at once started for the scene of action. Leaving their horses at Sag Harbor, they crossed over to New London in a small vessel, and from there marched to Boston where they arrived just at the close of the battle of Bunker Hill. They then joined the Continental army, and Halsey, at least, served through the war, part of the time as captain. He was present, standing near General Lee at the battle of Monmouth, when Washington rode up in terrible indignation, and, rising in his stirrups, thundered out : " Li the name of God, Lee, what do you mean ? " The old revolutionary hero often spoke of it, and was certain of the language used by General Washington. Two other townsmen were in this battle, 78 History of Southampton. and did service during the war — John and Elias Pelletreau, the sons of Captain Elias Pelletreau. This toNvn also furnished four suro-eons for the wai- of the Revolution, Heniy White, Shadrack Hildreth, William Burnett, and Silas Halsej. Among the celebrities of these times was a negro slave by the name of Pompey, owned by the Mackie family. He was born in the colonies, was shrewd, a man of good sense, of much force of character, always read}' for a joke and very apt to perpetrate one at the expense of another. Many characteristic stories of his do- ings are handed down, of which we give a few. Some dragoons were quartered on his master in 1778. Consid- ering himself insulted on one occasion, and doubtless with good reason by some of them, he mixed pounded glass with the feed of some of their horses, so that quite suddenly a number were found dead in their stalls. Pomp, who was cross-examined, ex- pressed profound ignorance of the misfortune and thus the matter ended. On another occasion he had a difficulty with a soldier who in- terfered with his barnyard arrangements. The dragoon drew his sword, but Pomp charged and routed him from the field with his pitchfork. One saying of his has become proverbial in this region. Mr. Mackie had a horse which being wholly in charge of Pomp, was pampered with good care and light work. One day the horse drawing a load refused duty, and suddenly stopped in the middle of the road. Tliis was too much to be borne ; accordingly Pomp provided himself with a stout cudgel, marched up to the horse, and, shaking the stick in his face, said, " Well, old horse, if you won't bear prosperity, you'll have to try advarsity," and thereat he gave him a seve;'e drubbing — and it is said, " Advarsity made the mare go." On another occasion he was at work for some one in the neighborhood and was invited by his employer to ask a blessing at the dinner table. Pomp observed a skunk served up to his great disgust. He complied with the request however, in part, asking the Lord to bless the bread, but to curse the skunk. This little town, besides sending out pioneers singly all over the United States, has even sent off its colonies at various times During the Revolutionary War. 79 in its history. The first of these was a few years after the settle- ment, when the Rev. Abraham Pierson was directed by the Asso- ciation in Connecticut to remove to Branford of tliat State. Quite a number accompanied him, and some even when after- ward he again removed to New Jersey where with others he founded the town of Elizabeth. The next colony was one that founded and settled the sister town of East Hampton in 1G49. That this is true, however con- trary to the common impression, is evident by comparing the list of the settlers of East Hampton as given in Hedges' address with personal and genealogical notices throughout this volume. Of the names there given the following were known to have been previously residents of Southampton: John Hand, Thomas Tal- mage, Daniel Howe, Thomas Thomson, John Stratton, Robert Bond, Robert Rose, Joshua Barnes, John Mulford, "William Hedges, Ralph Dayton, Thomas Chatfield, William Simonds Tulke Davis, Nathaniel Bishop, William Barnes, Jeremiah Yeale, John Miller (?) Richard Shaw and Jeremiah Meachara. Besides these only nine heads of families are found in the list of the East Hampton colonists. These may have come from the two colonies of New Haven and Connecticut as Governors Eaton and Hopkins united in purchasing the land of this town from the Indians. Considerable numbers also removed from time to time to New Jersey, during the first hundred years dating from the settlement. The Southampton family names are found scattered all over the State. Quite a strong colony went out to Blooming Grove, Orange county, N. Y., about 1760. Another colonj^, strongly represented by Southampton and East Hampton families, was that of Achter Kol or Feversham or Elizabethtown, New Jersey, which settlement had successively all of these names. Among the inhabitants who took the oath of allegiance in Elizabethtown in 1665, February 19, and again about 1714, were the following :* 1665.

J^artlett Haines or Hinds, originally from Boston, but from Southampton, in 1800 married Agnes, the widow of Isaac Post, and removed with her and her two sons, Isaac and David Post, to what is now Montrose — then a wilder- ness. Both of tliese boys lived to rear families themselves, whose descendants now live there. Among others, Daniel Foster, Ichabod Halsey and David Har- ris went there about the same time. Isaac P. Foster removed there in ISll. Austin Howell, "William Foster, Francis Fordham and Abraham Fordham in 1812. Benjamin Sayre, a native of Southampton, went to Montrose from Cairo, K Y., with his wife Priscilla and six children about this time also. Judge William Jessup, born June 21, 1797, graduate of Yale 1815, married 1820 to Amanda Harris, emigrated there later. He died September 11, 1868, honored alike in church and State. From a sermon of Rev. Horace Eaton, of Palmyra, K. Y., we give the following extract concerning another Southampton Colony. " In 1788 a company was formed of eleven, in Southampton, Long Island. In the early spring of 1790, Elias Reeves and Joel Foster took their wav to the far west, as their agents, — first to Fort Pitt, now Pittsburg, where they found Luke Foster, an ac- quaintance. Together they penetrated to the vast wilderness of Virginia, to the Ohio, and passed down to Fort Washington, now Cincinnati. There they purchased land on what was called Tur- Dtteing the Revolutionary Wae. 81 key Bottoms. They left Luke Foster to build and make prepara- tion while they returned to conduct the colony to their forest home. " But a singular circumstance turned the locality and the future history of the projected immigration. When Joel Foster and Elias Reeves, arrived at Long Island, they found William Hopkins, an uncle of Elias Reeves, and Abraham Foster on a visit from New Jersey. Hopkins was a son of the Hon. Stephen Hopldns, whose trembling hand stands so prominent among the signers of the Dec- laration. William Hopkins had been connected with the ' Leasee Company,' was acquainted with the Genesee country and saw its prospective importance. He urged upon his friends the value of a God-fearing community. He told them of the colonies from New England, that they were descendants from the Puritans, with principle and purpose congenial with their own. His arguments prevailed. The company relinquished the purpose of settling on the Ohio — and directed Elias Reeves and William Hopkins to pass by the northern route, beyond the military Tract, while Joel Foster, Abraham Foster, and Luther Sandford were to explore along the boundaries of Pennsylvania. The Fosters and Sandford started June, 1791, but found the country mountainous and forbid- ding. Beingcarpenters, on' consideration of good wages, they stop- ped at a place called Lindley town, and engaged in the erection of mills, leaving the work of exploration to Reeves and Hoj)kins, who, on the 20th of August, 1791, left Long Island with their rifles and knapsacks, came by water to Albany — then on foot, following the Indian trails to Geneva, — thence to town ' No. 12 ' [afterward called Swiftown — then Tolland —and finally, Pal- myra]. These valleys were well watered. The height and strength of the trees were an exponent of the depth and richness of the soil. They resolved to try the effect of hard work and honest princij^les upon a region more luxuriant than that from which they came. Upon the tall maples and the sturdy oaks, they placed their names as a pre-emption mark. This done, Hopkins and Reeves made their way across the State to the Pennsylvania line, where they found Joel Foster, Abraham Foster and Luther Sanford. There they drew and signed the following bond : 11 82 History of Southampton. " This instrument of writing witnessetli, that "Wm. Hopkins, of the State of New Jersey, EHas Reeves, Joel Foster. Abraham Foster and Luther Sanford, all of the State of New York, do agree and bind themselves severally each to the other, under the penalty of fifty pounds, to abide by and make good any purchase of land which Elias Reeves and Abraham Foster shall make of Oliver Phelps, Esq., or any other person, within tM^enty days from the date hereof. The proportion of land which each of us shall have is to be concluded among ourselves hereafter. In witness of all which we have hereunto set our hands and seals in Ontario County, State of New York, this ninth day of September, in the year of our Lord one thousand seveu hundred and ninety one. *' William Hopkins, " Elias Reeves, '' Joel Fostek, " Abraham Foster, " Luther Sanford." After concluding this engagement, all, save Elias Reeves and Abraham Foster, returned to the Island. These made their way back to " No. 12," stopping at the house of one Crittenden, resid- ing in the " Old Castle," at Geneva. From him they received a peck of apples, the fruit of the old Indian Orchard, as a present to John Swift. [Swift was the " first pioneer " in Palmyra, and had bought the land of the town, though it was not then entirely paid for.] When they arrived they were offered some of the apples. They craved only the seedsy and proceeding to a beautiful bluff on the farm now owned by Gen. Lyman Reeves, they planted them, which proved the first bearing orchard west of Geneva. Having selected their lands, they contracted with Phelps at Can- andaigua, for five thousand five hundred acres, for eleven hundred pounds, New York currency, one hundred of which they paid down. It will be noticed this was in September, 1791. The Dnrfee family had not yet arrived. As Swift could not meet his engagements, his title was doubtful. Hence, Reeves and Foster, to make the thing sure, treated with Phelps and Gorham directly. Put when Gideon and Edward Durfee arrived, his hard money met the hard times, and Swift was enabled to pay his notes, and received a genuine title to the town. Hence we find the Long Island Company the next year taking their deed from John Swift. " Having viewed the land, the spies returned, bringing back, DuKiNG THE Revolutionary War. 83 all of them, like Caleb and Joshua, a good report. This enter- prise was not a failure. The coming winter, Joel Foster bnilt a sail boat, Cyrus Foster making the nails, and launched it on Heddy Creek, near Southampton. After a well-spent Sabbath, on Monday morning the 4th of April, 1792, the first colony, from Long Island, embarked on their voyage of nearly five hundred miles. They sailed through the sound * to New York, then to Albany : from Albany they transported their boat by land 16 miles to Schnectady — with ' setting poles ' pushed the boat up the Mohawk to Rome. There the boat was taken from the Mohawk and conveyed by land something less than a mile, to Wood creek, thence floating down to Oneida Lake — through the lake and the outlet they came to Oswego River ; thence into Seneca River — through that to Clyde River — from Clyde River through Mud Creek to Saw-mill Creek, landing near the present residence of Hiram Foster. The whole voyage occupied twenty- eight days. Mrs. Joel Foster brought in her arms her eldest son, Harry Foster, then an infant of eleven months. " The way now being open, the same old hive sent out repeated swarms of working bees. The Clarks, Posts, Howell s, Jaggers, Culvers, Jessups and many others followed. ' The wilderness and the solitary place were glad for them.' Tliis old boat did good service in going and returning, with other companies, as they ar- rived from Long Island at Schenectady. It was finally conveyed around to Seneca Lake, and used as a pleasure boat. Truly a noble craft ! I Avould go as far to see that old boat as the ship in which Dr. Kane j)enetrated the frozen North." Besides this colony others removed to Seneca county, N. Y., and still others to Susquehanna county, Pa., about the beginning of this century. Among the latter was the Hon. William Jessup of Montrose, who beginning his career in his new home, rose to eminence and obtained a name honored widely both in church and State. Upon the discovery of gold in California, of course for a peo- ple who had lived like the Vikings of the north upon the sea * An error — they went by the bays along the south shore of the Island. 84 History of Southampton. (but not like tliem by plunder), and engaged in the perilous en- terprise of whale fishery, who had circumnavigated the world, a trip to the mines of the modern Ophir was a trifling matter. Con- sequently, besides a large company who purchased a ship, and in the winter of 1849-50, set sail from Greenport for San Fran- cisco, others followed in their footsteps from time to time, some of whom found there a home and some unhappily a grave. New Yoke Annex. The fact that the shores of Southampton are the first coming from the Avest, to border directly on the ocean, and its beauty, healthfiiluess and the high tone of morality pervading the place, all have combined to induce a large settlement of the people of New York seekiug a country residence for the summer. The first to come here was a grandson of the Rev. David S. Bogart, before mentioned. Mr. Leon D. DeBost with his older brothers had spent his boyhood days here and about 1872, purchased a lot of Mr. Wm. S. Pelletreau and built a residence. The impulse to a settlement, however, was given by Dr. T. Gaillard Thomas, a well known successful physician of the city. His residence was built in 18 77 and annually thereafter house after house has been erected. Though styled cottages they are of liberal dimensions, often finished in hard woods and elegant without and within. They have all two full stories and most of them have parlors on each side of a central hall. In general terms they belong to the Queen Anne style of architecture though no two are similar in appearance. At the time of writing this, September, 1886, nearly all the land bordering upon the ocean has been purchased and occupied by the Annex. Lawn tennis grounds were given by Dr. Thomas for this amusement and daily through the summer months young men and maidens are seen in friendly competition for the highest score. The people of the Annex have united with the villagers in a Tillage Improvement Society and the name is justified in the results of their labors tlirouo;h the streets and about the resi- dences of the inhabitants. New York Annex. 85 The names of such as have cottages here, or are understood to have such erected soon, are as follows : Mrs. David Babcock, Francis M. Bacon, A. H. Barney, Charles T. Barney, F. E.

The repeated demand for men to fill the armies and sustain the cause of freedom during the war of the Slaveholders' Rebellion, from 1861 to 1865, were met in a patriotic spirit by the j^eople of Southampton. Her quotas were always promptly filled, either by her own sons or by substitutes which her wealth "orocured, as was customary throughout the country. The limits of this work will not j^ermit a detailed list of the soldiers who served in this war, but a copy taken from the origi- nal returns of the census of 1865, now deposited in the New York 86 History of Southampton. State Library, will be deposited in the oifice of the town clerk at Southampton. This list shows that from the first election district, including that portion of Sag Harbor lying in the town, were sent forty -one soldiers. From the second district, Bridgehanipton, fifty soldiers. From the third, Southampton village, thirty-one soldiers. From the fourth, including Goodground, etc., twenty-nine. From the fifth or westernmost district, elev^en soldiers. Total, 162. Besides these the town procured a large number of substitutes. Civil Laws. 87 CHAPTER VII. CIVIL LAWS COUKTS DECREES OF COURTS. TVe have seen before how the jealous care for the liberties of the people resulted in the institution of the General Court, the fundamental idea of which was that the people, being the fountain of power, should be invested wdth it. We have also seen that for the government of the colony they enacted a code of laws founded on those of the Jewish Lawgiver. Besides these are found occa- sional regidations for temporary purposes scattered through the Records. And when the union Avith Connecticut occurred, they accepted its code of laws also, so far as they did not interfere with their owti. Again when the Island came under the jurisdic- tion of Xew York, in 166J:, they received a copy of laws from Governor Andros, which, of course, superseded all the former. Of course the execution of their laws must be committed into the hands of proper officers. The first of these were two and afterward three mas^istrates chosen annuallv. A record definino- their functions is found, dated January 2, 16J:1, as follows : " The magistrates shall o^overn accordinor to the laws now O C S established and to be established by General Courts hereafter. They and either of them shall be able to send out warrants to any officer to fetch any delinquent before them, and examine the cause and to take order by sureties or safe custody for his or their appearance at court. And further, to prevent the offenders lying in prison, it shall be lawful for the Magistrates or either of them to see execution done upon any offenders for any crime that is not capital according to the laws that [are] established or to be established in this place." The first town meeting on record was held April 6, 16^1. By an order of the General Court, December 22, 1644, four quarter courts were to be held annually, commencing on the first Tuesdays in March and June, the third Tuesdays in September and the fourth Tuesdav in December. These were the Magistrates' 88 HisTOKY OF Southampton. Courts. At the same time it was ordered to hold an annual General Court oil the first Tuesday of October for election of town officers. For many years this was the county seat of Suifolk county, and, of course, county courts were held here, concerning which the town records are silent. Townsmen. The office of " Townsmen " appears to differ from the Magi- stracy. Their duties embraced those that are now divided between the supervisor and assessors, as will be seen from the following : "Feb. 4th, 1664. John Jessup, Edward Howell and Henry Pierson were chosen Townesmen until the 6th of October next. During wh time they have given them, and are by the Towne authorized to make any rate or Levvy they shall see necessary, to use all lawful! means they shall see meet for getting in the debts due from any pson or psons unto the Towne, to make any law or oi'der (tht contradicts not some former order made by the Towne) concerning fences or any other publique occasion, and to doe or act any thing wh in theire judgmnts may conduce to the Townes ad- vantage. And whatsoever they shall act or transact as afforesaid the Towne doe ratify & confirme and shall observe. Moreover the said select men setting up theire order or orders on the Meet- ing house poste at the beat of the drum the same shall bee, and bee accompted sufficient and lawfull publishmt thereof. The Towne beeing to defray the cost the said 3 men shall be at in the premises." The mere insertion of the orders and decrees of the General Court, while it preserves the records that are yearly growing more illegible, also, perhaps depicts more vividly than a narrative could possibly do the surrounding circumstances of our founders. No other apology is therefore needed for the follomng extracts : Freemen. " South°" this 8th of the 8th month, 1647. It is ordered by this generall Cort that if any man be chosen to be a freeman of this towne shall refuse it shall paye fortie shillings for his fine. Civil Laws. 89 In the "Hew Eng. Entries, Plantation office London, the quali- fications of a freeman in New England about 1680 are said to be as follows : A freeman must be orthodox, above 20 years old and worth about £200.* But the latter qualification was not ex- acted in Southampton. " Lnprimous, at this instant Generall Cort, that Richard Odell Gentleman was chosen freeman and Edward Joanes Josias Stara- bro and John White.

" Traynings are to begiim at seaven of the clock in the morning from the first of March to the last of September, then from the last of September to the first of March to beginn at eight of the clock in the morning."

And all those that soe goe forth are to have their amies with them, & it is left to Sergeant Post to see to and effect the aforesaid order. " It is further ordered that ye letting off of one gun ahall be sufficient Allarum in the night, and if there be any allarura in the night, then all Inhabitants from ye North End of ye town to Thos.

Benevolence. In 1679-80 (March 11) at a time when money must have been very scarce, as the usual transactions iu "country pay" or barter of agricultural produce was called, sufficiently indicate, the peo- ple of Southampton contributed a fund of £18, 15sh., as a " free- will offering towards the relief e of the captives which is in slavery in Turkey." Thanksgiving. This custom of setting apart a day for public thanksgiving to the Almighty for the usual or extraordinary blessings experienced in their lives is found quite early. As we find in the MSS. records at Albany.* Thus June 7, 1675, and Febuary 8, 1676-7, were appointed as days of Thanksgiving and prayer by Governor An- dros. Voting Enforced. " October 13, 1643.

The case above recorded stands alone — the only intimation on record, and in this matter tradition i& equally silent. The Early Church. 97 CHAPTER VIII. THE EARLY CHURCH PRESBYTERIAN MINISTERS CHURCH EDIFICES SCHOOLS. The common impression is that the early settlers of New Eng- land and the eastern portion of Long Island were all Congrega- tionalists. How contrary this is to the actual facts may be seen not only in the cotemporaneous histories of the emigration, but in the ecclesiastical histories of 'New England, like the Jla^- nalia of Cotton Mather. Up to 1640 it is estimated that about 21,200 emigrants had arrived in New England. Cotton Mather says that of this number 4,000 were Presbyterians. During the commonwealth, under Cromwell, the tide of emigration for about fifteen years, was much diminished as the Independents or Congregationalists were perfectly secure at home. After the restoration of Charles I., who violated all his pledges to the Pres- byterians, by the act of uniformity of 1662, 2,000 Presby- terian ministers were cast out of their pastorates, a large number of whom betook themselves to New England. Emigration again increased and for twenty years a steady stream of English, Scotch and Irish Presbyterians as well as English Congregation- alists poured into this country. Both of these denoininations for a h"undred years were thoroughly Calvinistic — of this there never was a doubt. As to form of government there was some diver- sity. It arose from the peculiar circumstances of the people. Ahnost every church in the various towns, as they were succes- sively planted, was in its interior organization Presbyterian. Its officers were pastor, ruling elders and deacons. In some cases the church had a teacher as well as pastor, but this custom was not of long continuance because found to be unnecessary and finan- cially burdensome. The Cambridge platform adopted by all New England in 1648, and received as the basis of doctrine and church government for nearly a hundred years throughout this section of country, recognized the three officers above mentioned. It 13 98 History of Southampton. says : " Of elders some attend chiefly to the ministry of the word as the pastors and teachers ; others attend especially unto rule, who are therefore called ruling elders." And again : — " The rul- ing elder's ofiice is distinct from the office of pastor and teacher." His " work is to join with the pastor in those acts of spiritual rule which are distinct from the ministry of the word and sacra- ments. Among his sjDecified duties are admission of members, convening the church, preparing matters in private for a more speedy dispatch, etc." It says the government of the church is thus an aristocracy. The histories are full of this evidence of the Presbyterian form of government prevailing in the separate churches. But had they presbyteries and synods ? Here the peculiarity of their condition brought about a diversity. Each church as it was established had a jealous regard for its own indi- vidual independence and wanted no metropolitan bishop or coun- cil to dictate to it laws or injunctions. And yet, as in all human affairs, cases would arise wliere it became necessary to appeal to outside churches to settle disputes between pastor and people or divided congregations. This necessity brought into existence the New England synods, or as they were later called, associations, to whom were often committed the same appellate powers as are exercised by the presbytery, and even the same powers of original jurisdiction. That the Long Island churches sympathized more with the Presbyterian than Congregational order can readily be conjectured from the evidence afforded. In the Southampton- town records, of date 1644, occurs the collocation " John Cooper the elder," refer- ring to the original settler of that name. That this is not a title of senionty is evident from the fact that never once on the records is it used elsewhere, but invariably, when this is to be indicated, it is by the addition of Senr. But there are two documents of quite early date that expressly show the minds of the people on this question. In the purchase deed of the site for the church erected in 1707, a copy of which I have in my possession, occurs the following language : " And whereas the last mentioned partys to these presents having pious intentions for the founding, raising and building a convenient house, structure and building to have The Early Church. 99 continuance forever for tlie worship of Almighty God by praises and prayer, preaching of God's word and administering of the sacraments according to the usage, practice, rites and discipline, and the forms used and approved by those churches or congrega- tions of Christian Protestants usually known and distinguish'd by the name or stile of Presbiterians, . . . .■ . . and that the same lands and premises shall be appropriated to the only use of the church or congregation of Presbiterians in Southampton, aforesaid, and soe to be and remaine and have continuance for ever.-' (This church, by the way, is still standing, having been sold to the Methodists in 1846, and bids fair to stand, if not " forever," for a century to come.) The other evidence is the authoritative declaration of the town in 1T12, assigning land to Bridgehampton " for the use of a Presbyterian ministry and noe other." Abiel Holmes's MSS. history of New England, also says ex- plicitly, that the settlers at Southampton were Presbyterians. But one inquiry remains, and that is as to the time and circum- stances of the churches of Long Island uniting formally with the Presbyterian church. The Jamaica church, as Dr. McDonald claims, had been professedly Presbyterian from the first, and united with the Presbytery of Philadelphia (organized in 1704 and then the only one in America), in 1T12 ; — that of Newtowa united with the same presbytery in 1715 ; and that of Southampton in 1716. They all joined the presbytery then almost as soon as there was a presbytery to join. Their belief, their discipline and sympathies had always been with this church, and as soon as op- portunity was afforded they enrolled themselves formally with. their brethren. 1. Abraham Pierson. The first minister was the Rev. Abraham Pierson, who was appointed, in October, 1640, at Boston, to be the pastor of this new church to be set up at Southampton : and subsequently in November, 1640, was ordained at Lynn as before narrated. Cot- ton Mather, in his Magnalia, says of him : " He was a Yorkshire man, and coming over to New England, he became a member of TOO History of Southampton. tho olinrch at Boston, hut was afterwards oin])loyed towards the year KUO Procoeding in their plantation, thej- called Mr. Pierson to go thither with them, who with sev^en or eight more of their company regularly incorporated themselves into the church state before going, the whole company also enter- ing at the same time with the advice of the Governor of Mass. Bay Colony, into a civil combination for maintaining government amonii' themselves. Thus was then settled a church at South- amptou under the paternal care of that worthy man, where ho did with a laudable diligence undergo two of the tlu-ee hard labors, teaching and governing, to make it become what Paradise was called, tho Island of the Innocents. It was afterwards found necessary for this church to bo divided — upon which occasion Mr. Pierson refei-ring his case to council, his removal was directed into Branford over upon the main [Connecticut] and Mr. Fordham came to servo and feed that part of the flock Avhich was left at Southampton — but Avherever he came, [i. e. went] he shone. He left behind the character of a pious and prudent man and a true child of Abraliam now lodged in Abraham's bosom." He was graduated at the University of Cambridge in the year 1032, and liaving been ordained episcopally, as it is supposed,'* he prea(;hed for some years in England. He arrived iu New England in l()oO. The cause of his removal to Branford is thus given in Dr. Spragne's Annals of the American Pulpit. "Mr. Pierson agreed with John Davenport in wishing to rest all civil as well as ecclesiastical power in the church, and to idlow none but church members to act in the choice of the otficers of government, or to be eligible as such. Accordingly he was anx- ious that the little colony at Southampton should become con- nected with Xew Haven, as Southold had been, and was dissatis- fied with the the agreement in IGii, to come under the jurisdic- tion of Connecticut. He therefore removed in IGdtT Avith a small part of his congregation to Branford, Conn., and there uniting with others from AVethersfield, organized a ne^v church, of which ho was pastor about twenty -three years." * Thus Dr. Spi-aj^ruo, but the ordinatiou aoooi\liui; to F<3lt iu ilisu aud Uou.

He afterward removed to Newark, and ^v'as the first pastor of what is now the First Presbyterian Church of that city. He died on the ninth of August, 1G78. His son, Rev. Abra- ham PiersoD, was the first President of Yale College. 2. Robert Fordham. The second pastor over this church was the Rev. Robert Ford- ham, concerning whom the earliest record of April, 1619, is as follows : " The agreement between the towne of Southampton and the reverned and well beloved servant of the Lord Mr. Fordham con- cerning his anuall mayntainance for his labour in the worke of the Lord amongst us. " Imps wee the present inhabitants do ingage ourselves to pay in current cuntrie pay as it passeth at a common rate threescore pounds for this present year to beginne the first day of this present Aprill 1619, and to make our payments lialfe yearly by equall portions, ffurthermore for the yeares to come & for all cfe euery yeare God shall be pleased to continue Mr. Fordham amongst us after Aprill 1650 from the daye of the revolution of first yeare above men- coned, it is ffully agreed and hearby confirmed that the sayd yearly mayntainance shall be fourscore pounds per annum to be levied upon euery man according to their severall possessions of land in our plantation of Southampton and the bounds thereof. " Lastly if fforty lotts shall not be iHlled, that then proportion- able abatement of the sd fourscore pounds is to be made according to the number that is deficient, in consideration whereof Mr. Fordham's owne Accommodations are not to be liable to pay any part of his yearly mayntainance nor yet any of his estate if the towne shall see cause to alter the waye of payment as concerning the Ministry. This agreement was consented to by all the inhabi- tants, and by them appoyuted to be recorded m the towne book to be established in the behalfe of the whole towne." Farmer thinks he came to this country from England before 1611. Lechford in his "Plaine Dealing" or, "'News from New England," published in 1612 says he was then at Sudbury, Mass., out of employment. He may have accompanied Mr. Denton to Hempstead in 1611 as he is the first person named in Kieft's 102 History of Southampton". Patent to that town.* He had wife Elizabeth and children Hannah w. of Samuel Clark, Mary w. of Edward Howell, both of Southampton ; also sons Josejjh, Robert, Jonah and John. The descendants of these children are given in the genealogies in another chapter. He came here in the latter part of the year 1648 or early in i649 and here labored in the ministry until his death in September, 1674. Traditions concerning him* show that he pos- sessed an amiable disposition, a character unexceptionable, and in the discharge of his pastoral duties gave general satisfaction. In the inventory of his estate his house and lands were appraised at .£1164, and his personal property at £83, 7s. 6d, of which his library was valued at £53, 7^. 6d, plainly indicating that he was a liberal patron of learning. His son Rev. Jonah Fordham was born in 1633, was graduated at Harvard 1658 and having been ordained served in the ministry as pastor of the church at Hempstead from 1660 to 1680. About this time 1680 he probably came to live in Southampton from Avhence in September 1687 he was invited to minister to a church in Brookhaven. Declining* this, in 1691 he received a second call from the same church which he accepted and remained there for several years. Returning to Southampton he there died July 17, 1696, aged 63. His daughter Temperance married the second Richard Woodhull of Setauket. He left a sou Josiah who also entered the ministry and was some time the pastor of the Setauket church. His wife Martha died in Southampton October 4, 1688. 3. John Haeriman. The next in succession was the Rev. John Harriman, the son of John who was at New Haven 1646, and soon after married Elizabeth, and had two children; John, the subject of this sketch, baptized January 24, 1647-8 and Elizabeth baptized July 23, 1648. f Showing taste for letters early in life he was prepared for college in New Haven and at the age of fifteen entered the one at Cambridge, Mass., when he was graduated in 1667. Then * Thompson. + Hatfield's Hist, of Elizabeth, N. J. The Early Chukch. 103 returning to New Haven he taught the Hopkins grammar school several years and prepared himself for the ministry. He preached occasionally befoi'e 1674 in New Haven. A covenant or agree- ment of Mr. Harriman with the church at Southampton, written in crabbed short hand and deciphered in 1870 by J. Hammond Trumbull of Hartford, Ct., corrects some errors in his biography as generally written, and also in the history of that church. Tlie covenant is as follows: " Whereas at a town meeting in Southampton held May the 29th 1674 a Committee was chosen to make a finale [convention] [conchision ?] with Mr. John Heri'iman, the town having at the said meeting consented to some [further] terms than formerly was agreed upon ; as [may appear] by a record then made : know all men by these presents that We the said committee for and in behalf of the said town, of the one party : and the said John Herri- man Cl[erk] of the other party, do covenant and agree as follow- eth.-. first that during the said John Herriman his life and offici- ating in the work of the ministry in the said town, he shall have the use of the thirty acres of land with the house lot purchased of John Cooper : and [presented] by the town for the use of the ministrj' for ever.-, and the four acres in the ox pasture [together] with the forty acres in the [common] formerly [presented] to him the said Mr. Herriman, shall be and remain to him his heirs and executors, administrators and assigns forever: secondly the town shall and will pay unto him the said Mr. Herriman or his assigns twenty pounds per annum and the half of Mr. Fordham his stipend [that he] he voluntarily [conceded] for that use being forty pounds in like manner.', and if providence so disposes of Mr. Fordham that he deceases or be totally taken off Irom the work of the ministry so that Mr. Herriman performs the work wholly himself, then the whole sum usually allowed to Mr. Ford- nam, that is, eighty pounds per annum shall be well and [tru]ly paid unto him the said Mr Herriman or his assigns in current pay at price current with the merchant here. Thirdly the town do donate unto him the said Mr. John Herri- man one hundred and fifty pounds [commonage] for the future and do promise to him to inclose with a five rail fence all the land laid out for him and for his use in the ox pasture. Fourthly the town is with all [possible convenience] and ex- pedition to build upon the said three acres of land procured of John Cooper, a good house of two stories high, for the ministry, with a brick chimney and two chamber chimneys, the same to be to the use of Mr. Herriman, as the land for the ministry.*. And the town is to give unto the administrator or administratrix of 104 History of Southampton. liim the said Mr. Herriman [after] his decease, one hundred pounds in euiTent pay at price current with the merchant, at that time the said land and house for the ministry is to return unto the said town's disposal*. Fiftly that the said Mr. Herriman upon the [premises] doth promise and ingage unto the said town of Southauipton to cohabit with them and to officiate in the work of the ministry among them and not to remove or dwell [from thence] [unless] a council of judicious men mutually chosen by him and the town do find and adjudge that it is not only law[ful] but of necessity that he and the town [should part] neither shall the town dis[miss] him but upon the same terms and conditions of the judgment of a council as foresaid. Sixthly [Whatever] additions of building shall be made by him the said Mr. Herriman unto the said house to be built for his use on the said home lot or upon the said lot, at his decease shall be prized by indifferent men equally chosen by the town and the relict or administrator of the said Mr. Herriman [who are] to re- ceive of the town the value of such said additions of building shall be prized at. In witness whereof the said committee in behalf of the town as aforesaid and the said Mr. John Herriman have hereunto niut' ually set their hands this [fifth] day of June anno 1674.

This shows that Mr. Harriman was first settled here as colleague pastor with Mr. Fordham and so continued until the death of the latter in September 1671. He continued here until the early part of 1676, when he returned to New Haven* and in July of that year became stated supply of the church there established, and so con- tinued for the most of the time until 1682.

Then employed October 1684 in surveying the boundary line between !N^ew York and Connecticut, for it seems he had no small skill in this business. Then installed as pastor of the church in Eli^abethtovvn, N. J. probably September 30, 1687. He was very exact in his accounts and careful in his business enterprises which were numerous. " *Not content with preaching, pastoral visitation, farming and carrying on a flour mill, he had, also, a cider press ; he had an agency for furnishing glass to his neighbors; he surveyed lauds now and then ; he attended the Legislatm-e as a Deputy, having been thus elected, in 1693, 1694:, 1695 and 1698. Like most of his pro- fession, he kept a boarding school also." He married as early as 1673 Hannah daughter of Richard Bryan of Milford, Ct. She was born in 1654 and her twin sister Mary married EdisiardJHow- ell of Southampton. He had children John b. 1674 who became a surveyor, Samuel b. June 25, 1676, Ann b. July 5, 1678, Mary in 1680, Leonard in 1683 and Richard in 1685, and three others born in Elizabeth. He died August 20, 1705, in the 58th year of his age. 4. Seth Fletcher. The next minister of this church was the Rev. Seth Fletcher who was the son of Robert Fletcher* of Concord, Mass. He came to Southampton in 1676 and remained about three years, when he removed to Elizabethtown, IST. J., and was installed there in 1680. He married (1st) Mary daughter of Bryan Pendleton of Portsmouth, N. H., and (2d) Mary widow of Henry Pierson of Southampton May 1682. He died in 1682, leaving estate valued at £559, 5, 8, of which his books were rated at £175, 4, 4. 5. Joseph Tatlok. Rev. Joseph Taylor was the son of Mr. John Taylor, of Cam- bridge, Mass., and was born in 1651. He was graduated at Har- vard in 1669, and was appointed a tutor in that institution the following year. He then studied for the ministry, and was em- ployed as a preacher in New Haven until the spring of 1679. * Hatfield. 14 106 HisTOKT OF Southampton. The Rev. John Taylor buried in the Southend burying ground was his son. " At a Town meeting Aprill 1st, 1679. By Major voat it is con- cluded that a man shall be chosen to goe over to Mr. Tayler the minister, and to presente the Towne's former request by letter unto him, namely to come over to us and give us a visit and if possible to prevaile with Mr. Tayler to come along with him ; which sd messenger is also to follow such Instructions as sliall bee given him touching this occation. " By Major voat Mr. Justice Topping is desired to be the man to go over on the aforesaid occation, namely to procure Mr. Tay- ler to give us a visit if possible as soon as may be." Later in the same year we find the following record : " Nov. 5, 1679. It is declared by a general voat, but one ex- cepted of the towne that ye Rev. Mr. Joseph Tayler is the man they pitch upon and desire in the work of the ministry amongst us according to former voat of the Towne and endeavours put forth to procure him," The call was accepted and he entered upon his labors, being i«n- , stalled as pastor of the church about 1680. The following is an abstract of the " agreement " for the temporal support of Mr. Taylor, dated March 22, 1679-80. 1. To be paid to him £100 per annum raised in proportion to each man's estate. To be paid in winter wheat at 5 shillings per bushel, or summer wheat at 3s per bushel, or Indian corn at 28 per bushel, and sundry other products with prices attached. 2. The use of a Parsonage and four acres attached and privi- lege of a 150 of commonage. 3. One hundred acres of land in woods or commons to him and his heirs forever f together with other four acres in fee and de- scribed. 4. To do a certain amount of fencing for him. We cannot but take a just pride in this as in other evidences of our forefathers making a generous provision for the wants of their ministers. They believed the words of our Saviour, that " the laborer is worthy of his hire," and acted accordingly. The labors of Mr. Taylor, however, were cut short by an early The Eaely Church. 107 death on April 4, 1682, in the thirty-second year of his age. IJis tombstone still stands in the old burying ground, in the rear of the residence of the late Captain James Post. 6. Joseph Whiting, He was the son of Rev. Samuel, who was the second son of John, mayor of Boston, Lincolnshire, England, where Samuel was born November 20, 1597.* Samuel took the degree of B. A. at Em.aniiel College, Cambridge, 1616 and M. A. 1620. Ar- rived in New England in May, 1636, at Boston. He had three sons and three daughters who lived to maturity. Of these Sam- uel, born 1633, M-as a graduate of Harvard, entered the ministry and died while a pastor of the church at Billerica, Massachusetts. John, the second son, was also graduate of Harvard, returned to England and continued there until his death.* Joseph, the third son, was born April 6, 16^1, graduated at Harvard in 1661, and assisted his father several years 'and was installed as his successor in 1670. He was twice married — first to Sarah, daughter of Hon. Thomas Danforth, deputy governor of Massachusetts, and presi- dent of Maine, and again to Rebecca, who died April 21, 1726. Mr. Whiting wills, April 27, 1717, to wife Rebecca and children, eldest son John, Sarah Sparhawk, second son Samuel, third son Joseph, fourth son Benjamin, fifth son Ebenezer (not 21) and two youngest daughters, Elizabeth and Dorothy, not 18.

On the 27th day of June, 1682, a committee were appointea to go to Lynn, Mass., to invite Mr. Whiting to come over and preach to the Southampton people on trial. It is not certain when he first came, nor Avhen he was installed as pastor, but probably in the year 1683. In 1688 we find an "agreement" with him in relation to his salary an abstract of which is here given. 1. £100 per annum to be paid in same manner as Mr. Taylors. 2. Use of the Parsonage and four acres and a 150 of common- age. 108 HisTOKY OF Southampton. 3. If lie continue till his discease, in the ministry in this town, then his widow is to have from the town £100 in money and merchantable produce. His labors in the ministry must have been acceptable to the people since he continued with them till the infirmities of age demanded a cessation of labor. His pastorate covered about* thirty-three years, and his death occurred April 7, 1723, in the eighty-second year of his age. He sleeps among his flock in the old burying ground, and with them awaits liis resurrection to eternal life. 7. Samuel Gelston. The coming of this minister marks a change in the form of government of the church and in its ecclesiastical connection. From Webster's History of the Presbyterian Church in America, we obtain the following account of him : " He was born in the north of Ireland, in 1692, and came as a probationer to New England in 1715. He was received in the fall under the care of tlie Pliiladelphia Presbytery, and was sent to tlie people of Kent on Delaware. Though desired to stay, he left without the consent of Presbytery, and went to Southampton on Long Island. There his brother Hugh resided ; he was called as colleague with the pastor, Joseph Whiting, and the congrega- tion placed itself under the Presbytery's care. The Presbytery of Long Island on its organization, took him on trial, and ordained and installed him April 17th, 1717. His stay was about ten years ; and Aug. 27, 172S, he was received as a member of Newcastle Presbytery, and took into consideration a call to New- castle. The next month he was called to New London, Chester Count}'-, Pennsylvania." After many changes and wanderings and some trouble, he is said to have died October 22, 1782, aged ninety. The Long Island Presbytery (being the first judicatory of that name in the Province of New York), was set off from the Pres- bytery of Philadelphia in 1716. It was organized at Southamp- ton April 17, 1717, and was composed of the following ministers : Mr. MacNish of Jamaica, Mr. Phillips of Brookhaven, Mr. The Early Church. 109 Pomeroy (or Piimry) of N"ewtown and Mr. Gelston of Southamp- ton. The church of Southampton having thus united with the Presbyterian body has remained ever since in connection with the same. The Reformed church of Holland, Independency and Presbyterian ism appear to have occupied almost the whole ground throughout ~New York for many years after the settlement. It is said* that as late as 1664 there was not a single Episcopal church in the whole province. 8. Sylvanus White. The eighth pastor was the Rev. Sylvanus White. Webster says of him : " He was born in 1701. His father, Rev. Ebenezer White, came with his parents from England to Massachusetts at an early age, and was the minister of Bridgehampton, Long Island, from its first organization as a parish in 1695."f May 27, 1695. The town voted to give him fifteen acres of land if he came as pastor of the church at Sagg. Rev. Sylvanus was graduated at Harvard University in 1722, and ordained by a council, November 17, 1727, pastor of the church of Southampton. He married Phebe, daughter of Heze- kiah Howell of that town. While in every town on the island, there were confusions and divisions growing out of the great revival [1711-2] Southamp- ton seems to have dwelt in peace, united in their minister. In the formation of SnfFolk Presbytery, Mr. White and his vener- able father took an active part, and Southampton promptly and unanimously placed itself under its care, April 27, 1747. Bridge- hampton was in circumstances of great difliculty : a separation had occurred and much animosity existed. The presbytery "treated vnih the venerable and aged minister to resign." He consented to do so, and then on the settlement of Rev. James Brown, they spent much time at Mr. Job Pierson's with the people of the sep- aration on the point, whether they had not violated the rules of the gospel in their treatment of Mr. White. " Much seeming * Doc. Hist, of N. Y. t But Webster is incorrect as to one point — the grandfather of Rev. Ebenezer was the em- igrant as appears in the family genealogy. 110 History of Southampton. stiffness " appeared ; but at length sixteen men and twelve women signed an acknowledgement " that, though according to their present light, they were right as to the cause, they were wrong in the manner." The aged minister signed a full humble avowal that under " the sore and awful frown of a holy God, in a time of much disorder, temptation and provocation, he had spoken unad- visedly with his lips, and asked forgiveness for having spoken to the disparagement of a work of grace, while intending to con- demn what seemed fraught with evil." On the 3d of October he wrote to the presbytery expressing his oj)inion that the sep- aratists who had been received back had been treated with too much lenity. They replied : " the object of church government was edification, not destruction." Still, the separating party as a whole, must have persisted in their separation for some time, for we find them soon after erecting a small church edifice in which Mr. Elisha Paine was installed j)astor. This was known at that day as the " new-light " movement, and the orgjmization was called the New Light church. However, as the original actors in the separation died off, none rose to fill their places — the or- ganization dwindled, and finally about the close of the eighteenth century, whatever remnant remained was swept away in a great revival, and merged into the Presbyterian church. The tomb stone of Mr. Paine bears the following Epitaph : In memorj of the Rev | Mr. Elisha Paine V D M who died Augst 26 A D 1775 2E 83 | was born upon Cape Cod and from thence with his | Hond Father Mr Elisha Paine Removed to Canterbury in | Connecticut where he prac- tised the law as an Attor. | with great aprobation and Fidelity and untill 1743 ] from thence became preach- er of ye Gospel and was | Ordained ye first minister over ye congregational | church of Christ in this Place May HAD 1752 | Thenceforth he rests from his labors. Mr. Silvanus White " lived in uninterrupted health through a ministry of fifty-five years, and after a week's illness, died Octo- ber 22, 1782, his mind not enfeebled by age, and his hope strong and cheerful. He lived, honored and revered, happy in the af- fections of a large and warmly attached congregation. He left The Early Chukch. Ill seven sons and one daugliter ; most of these lived to advanced age. They removed, but his son, Dr. Henry White, remained in his native town, and died there at the age of ninety in 1840." Some further particulars of his family are given in another chapter. Mr. White used to regard his people as his children and kept an eye upon the reading matter which fell into their hands. On one occasipn hearing of a new book going the rounds, bearing the suspicious title of " The Devil on two Sticks," he took pains to ascertain where it was, and marched off at once to examine and confiscate it (politely of course) should it prove contraband of Church. After the death of Mr. White, October 22, 17S2, it appears there was a vacancy in the pulpit until 1784. Dui'ing this inter- val the pulpit was supplied by Mr. Osias Eels, and Mr. James Eels, of whom nothing is known to the writer save their names. Doubtless they are written in the Lamb's Book of Life and they themselves gone to their rest. 9. Joshua Williams. The ninth pastor was the Rev. Joshua Williams. He preached as a candidate as it appears from his own record from September to December 1784. Tuesday December 14 the parish held a meeting and came to a determination to call Mr, Williams to the pastorate. After some time spent in negotiation an agreement was entered into upon the following terms :. " Copy of a covenant between the inhabitants of the First Parish in Southampton and Joshua Williams, A. M. " To all people to whom these presents shall come greeting : " Know ye that we ye subscribers inhabitants of the first Parish of the town of Southampton, in the County of Suffolk and State of New York do each of us covenant and oblige ourselves to j)ay unto Mr. Joshua Williams or his certain attorney Executors Administrators or Assigns yearly and every year during his con- tinuance in sd Parish (a Collector being appointed to collect the same) a f nil and just sum of seventy pounds current money of the state of New York.

On May 26,- 1785, the Presbytery of Long Island met at Southampton, and, after examination of the pastor elect on the next day, proceeded to ordain and instal him over the church founded there in 1640. According to JVIr. Williams' minutes of this occasion " ]VIr. Goldsmith made the first prayer. Mr. Buel preached a sermon. ]Mr. Goldsmith enquired concerning ye [rates ?J IVir.

Mr. Williams labored as pastor until April, 1789, a period of three years and eleven months, having admitted to communion in that time, as he says, 486 persons. 15 114 History op Southampton. 10. Herman Daggett. From Dr. Spragiie's Annals the following account is taken : He was born at Walpole, Mass., September 11, 1766. He was a son of Dr. Ebenezer Daggett, a highly respectable physician in his day, who was a brother of the Rev. Naphtali Daggett one of the Presidents of Yale College. The first ancestor of the family in this country was John Daggett, who, a. few years after the set- tlement of Plymouth, came and took up his residence on the Island of Martha's Vineyard. Dr. Daggett removed with his family from Walpole to Wrentham, when his son Herman was a boy, and there continued in medical practice till his death, which occurred February 26, 1782. The son was at his father's decease between fifteen and sixteen years of age. He had the reputation of being an amiable and discreet youth, and withal had an un- common thirst for knowledge. Quickened however in his efforts, by his zeal for knowledge, he passed rapidly and successfully through his course preparatory to College, and became a member of Brown's University in 1784. His standing there as a scholar was highly respectable, and he graduated in 1788. In the second year of his college course, his mind, which had before been seri- ously directed by the influence of a Christian education, became deeply impressed with the subject of religion as a practical con- cern ; and it was to this period that he referred the commence- ment of his religious fife. His ardor in literary j)ursuits, seems not to have been at all repressed by the change in his moral feel- ings, though all his faculties and attainments were from this time evidently consecrated to the glory of God and the benefit of his fellow creatures. Shortly after his graduation he placed himself as a theological student under Dr. Emmons, who even at that early period, had acquired the reputation of being very learned in his profession. Having spent about a year in his preparatory studies, he was licensed to preach by the Association, holding its session at Northbridge, in October, 1789, and preaching for the first time on the succeeding Sabbath in Dr. Emmons's pulpit. Within a short time after he was licensed, he visited Long Island with a view of being engaged as a preacher, thinking that the The Early Church. 115 climate would prove more congenial to his health than that of 'Nevr England. Here he was received with more than common favor. For a jear he supplied the Presbyterian congregation at Southold ; and though they gave him a unanimous call, yet being unwilling to practice on the " Half-way Covenant,"* he felt con- strained to decline it. Thence he was called to preach at South- ampton, where also he was nnaniraously invited to the pastorship. This latter invitation after considerable liesitation, he accepted, and was set apart by the presbytery to the pastoral office, April 12, 1792. On the 3d of September, following, Mr. Daggett was married to Sarah, daughter of Colonel Matthewson, a resi^ectable and wealthy citizen of Providence, R I. Mrs. Daggett was a lady of line accomplishments and most exemplary character, and survived her husband many years. She died, having never had any children, November 20, 1843. Mr. Daggett's continuance at Southampton was for less than four years. Almost immediately after his settlement, a difficulty arose between liim and a part of his people on the subject of the " Half-way Covenant " (he being unwilling to practice on that principle), which ultunately extended to many other churches, and was the principal, if not the entire cause, of his resigning his charge He behaved with great moderation and dignity through- out the whole controversy, and his character for discretion was never impugned. It was a sufficient evidence that he came out of this controversy at Southampton unscathed, that, almost imme- diately after he was at liberty, he was called to the pastoral care of the church at "West Hampton, a village in the immediate neighborhood of the one he had left. Here he continued greatly respected and beloved by his people from September, 1797, to September, 1801, when he was dismissed chiefly on account of an inadequate support. In October following he was installed pastor of the church at Eire Place and Middle Island in the town of Brookhaven, and * A very bad practice originated early in New England (Records of Synod of Boston, 1662), of administering the rite of bai)tism to children of baptised persons who made no preten- sions whatever to personal piety upon their " owning the covenant," though they neglected eveiy other ordinance. This was called the "Half-way Covenant," and was productive o£ immense evil in the churches. 116 HiSTOKY OF Southampton. preached alternately to the two congregations till April, 1807, when his health had become so far reduced that lie resigned his charge with an intention of never resuming the responsibilities of the pastoral office. During the eighteen years of Mr. Dag- gett's residence on Long Island, and in each of the four several charges with wdiich he was connected, he enjoyed a large measure of public respect, and his labors were, by no means, unattended with success. He was greatly esteemed, especially by his breth- ren in the ministry for the wisdom of his counsels, not less than for the consistency of his general deportment. After leaving Long Island his health was considerably improved so that he Avas able to preach frequently, and even for a consider- able time without interruption. For a year he preached and taught school at Cairo, Greene county, N. T. For some time he preached also at Patterson, Putnam county, and for two years he preached and taught an Academy at Korth Salem, Westchester count3\ Thence he went to New Canaan, Conn., where he took charge of an Academy. When the Foreign Mission School was established by the American Board of Foreign Com., at Cornwall, Conn,, Mr. Daggett was placed at the head of it. May 6, 1818. Here a great and important work devolved upon him of harmonizing and in- structing youth of all ages from the mere child to manhood, and of many various races. Although but about thirty in number, there were natives of Sumatra, China, Bengal, Hindostan, Mexico, New Zealand ; of the Society and the Marquesas Islands ; of the Isles of Greece and the Azores; and Cherokees, Choctaws, Osages, Oneidas, Tuscaroras and Senecas of the North American Indians. Here he labored with success for nearly six years until 1821. Ill health then terminated his labors and for the next eight years he rested, waiting for his eternal Sabbath rest to which he was called in peace on the 19th of May, 1832. 11. David S. Bogart. The Rev. David Schuyler Bogart was born January 12, 1770, in the city of New York. He descended from one of the oldest and most respectable Dutch families. He was graduated from The Early Chuech. 117 Columbia College in 1790, with the highest honors of his class. After his graduation he studied for the ministry with his pastor, Dr. John H. Livingston, and preached frequently in various churches of New York. In the autumn of 1795 he visited Southampton, and his ministrations proving acceptable to the people, a call was made out. On the 20tli of May, 1796, Mr. Bogart removed with his family from New York and intended to accept there the pastorate. Before the Long Island Presbytery met, however, to install him, he received an urgent call from the First Presbyterian Church in Albany. After consultation with his friends he concluded to accept the call to Albany, where he remained from January to August, 1797. His health having been impaired at this place, and the church at Southampton be- ing encouraged to renew their call, he returned to the church by the sea, and was installed in the autumn of 1798. Dr. Thomas De Witt, in the sermon preached at Mr. Bogart's funeral (from which sermon we have obtained some of the facts herein stated), says that while at Southampton he received several calls but re- fused them on account of the united affection of his people. In- fluenced by the associations of his earlier years he, in 1806, accepted a call from the Peformed Dutch Church of Blooming- dale in the city of New York, but was prevented by circumstances- of a domestic nature from moving his family. The Southamp- ton Church then made out a third call and he was re-installed as their minister and so remained till his final dismission, April 15, 1813. In this year he accepted a call to the two Reformed Dutch Churches of Success and Oyster Bay. He continued in these churches, fourteen miles apart, for thirteen years until failing health obliged him to resign. In 1826 he returned to New York and there resided until his death on the 10th of July, 1839, preaching as he found opportunity. The people of Southampton were very warmly attached to him, as is evident from their repeated invitations to him to settle among them. He is still spoken of by some of his old parishioners in terms of the warmest affection. In the pulpit he used much 118 History of Southajsipton. action, was full of vivacitv, flowery in style, and graceful in delivery. During the next three years, from 1813 to 1816, the pulpit was supphed by Mr. Joshua Hart, Messrs. Andrews and Fuller, Her- man Halsey and Amos Bingham, of whom nothing except their names is known to. the writer. Mr. Hart once upset a peddler's wagon which was- in his way. The next Sunday morning he found a note on the pulpit enclosing a pistareen with the following distich : "Eighteen pence to Mr. Hart For overturning a tinman's cart." Here is another pulpit token found hy a minister on his desk one Sabbath morning, an old riddle simple enough in itself, but the pertinence of which is not so evident : " A certain something there may be, Which earthly kings may often see ; Poor mortal worms may oft descry it, But God Almighty can't espy it." 12. John M. Babbit. The tweKth pastor was the Rev. John M. Babbit. He was installed November 19, 1817, and dismissed April 18, 1821. Rev. James M. Huntting, of Jainaica, says, in reference to the revival in Mr. Babbit's day : " For some time previous to that revival an increased tenderness, fervor and interest in prayer, became manifest in the social meetings generally but seemed to me most manifest in one attended weekly at Miss Harriet Foster's, on the road leading to Bridge Hampton and opposite where the Messrs. Elias and "William Woolley then lived. I had for several years greatly desired to see a revival such as I had seen at East Hampton, and which left me, much to my sorrow, without hope and God in the world. Hence I visited all the prayer meetings I could. Others noticed it. On one evening, however, when I was not present at the meeting above alluded to, the joyf nl news was communicated that Capt. James Post and his wife were rejoicing in hope. The next morning a young friend of mine hastened to me to tell me the joyful news. The whole village The Eakly Church. 119 soon was filled with deep solemnity and on the following Sabbath the sanctuary was unusually full, and the presence and power of the Holy Spirit were very manifest. The prayer meeting that evening was at Mrs. Huntting's, and so many came that the store and all the rooms adjoining were opened and filled with the solemn assemblage. Many not able to find seats, stood the whole evening — prominent among them, and near tlie front window, stood Capt. James Post. "When the meeting closed nearly all remained and many approached him to hear him speak of Jesus. Meetings became very frequent at once, and very full at evening, and the church was opened and largeh^ attended one afternoon and evening each week, when the neighboring ministers came to help Mr. Babbit, and elders and mem- bers from the neighboring churches were often present, and took part in the prayer meetings — ]5rominent among whom was Deacon Stephen Rose, of liridgehampton. Conversions were constantly occurring among all classes, and the church, which I understood consisted of 70 members M-hen the revival began, received an accession of about 45 among whom were nine husbands with their wives. Many of tlie most interesting youth of the place had been gathered in Bible Classes, which the Pastor conducted so as greatly to increase the study of the Bible, and make the new members of the church able to give a scriptural and satisfac- tory reason of their Christian hope. The Word of God was the chief theme of conversation in the youthful circles I visited, es- pecially the lessons we recited from it weekl}^ to the Pastor and Elders. Rev, Dr. McDowell's Question Book was used, and some of tlie class found out and interlined the answers with pen and ink, from the beginning to the end of that Question Book. The attachment of the new converts to each other and to Christ, made life pass so sweetly along, that deep regret M^as often ex- pressed when any of them had to leave the place. And on my return to the place to teach school, after a year's absence to study in the Academy at East Hampton, I found that delightful Chris- tian grace ' Brotherly love,' delightfully prevalent. So it re- mained during the two and one-half years that I remained there in the school." 120 HiSTOKY OF Southampton, Mr. Babbit says in answer to an invitation to be present at the celebration of the 225th Anniversary of the settlement of the town, December 13, 18G5 : " The meetings held frequently, for the special benefit of those seeking an interest in Christ and indulging recently obtained hopes that they had found it, were very useful. The counsel given in them and from house to house was well adapted to lead all to build their hopes of heaven entirely on Christ. The views of the converts were elicited, and when erroneous, thoroughly corrected, and advice given adapted to make their practice also correct. Town meeting day had often been a day for social rec- reation by the young. On its approach that spring, some ex- perienced Christians counseled us to take care and not let it be in- juriously spent. To the delight of many it was suggested that the young who were not needed among the electors, should meet in the north school-house for social prayer. The house was soon filled and word reached the electors' meeting of it, and several of the good deacons and elders came to the school -house and de- hghted us, and seemed delighted themselves, as they addressed us and prayed with us. The church which had for a long time before seemed languish- ing, from that time grew so that I found the last time I preached there just four times as many members in it, i. e. 280 instead of 70. May the Lord ever bless that church, as dear to my heart then and ever since, and make your anniversary a soul refreshing time." In 1815 Mr. Babbit founded the Education Society of South- ampton, which has since done much good in educating pious young men for the ministry. 13. Petee H. Shaw. The thirteenth pastor was the Rev. Peter H. Shaw, who was ordained and installed September 19, 1821, and dismissed June 2, 1829. His grandfather, John Shaw, came to this country in 1785, with two sons, John and William, the latter of whom was the father of Rev. Peter H. The grandfather was a ruling elder in the Associate Church in Greenock, Scotland, and the two sons, The Early Chtjech. 121 with their wives, were members of the same church. They settled by the advice of Dr. Witherspoon, of Princeton, iST. J., in Barnet, Yt. His great grandfather. Rev. John Shaw, together with Rev'ds Ralph and Ebenezer, formed the first Seceding or Associate Presbytery of Scotland. The library of this worth}'^ minister brought to this country by his son, contriljuted much to moulding the mind and shaping the principles of his great grand- son in his youth. He graduated at Dartmouth College. Mr. Shaw, while pursuing his education in New York, came under the influence of two eminent Christian ladies, Mrs. Graham and Mrs. Hoffman, and from their pious efforts in establishing Sabbath schools for the instruction of the poor, he learned the value of this institution. On his instalment in Southampton, he first instituted the Sabbath school here, which, however, soon embraced all the children in the community. He also, in 1826, was the originator of the temperance reformation in Southampton. Under parental training his mind had been directed to the evils of intemperance, and the publication of Dr. Beecher's sermons on this subject, opened the way for action. With characteristic modesty he obtained these sermons, and at his third meeting on Sabbath evening, he read them on three successive Sabbaths. They caused much excitement and even opposition. Many said they could as well do without bread as ardent spirits. The fol- lowing spring the General Assembly recommended the clergy to preach on the subject. After a reluctant consent of the session, a day was appointed when Mr. Shaw would preach on the evil which was increasing in the community to a fearful extent. On the day after the appointment was made, he was informed that none of the neighboring ministers had co-operated with him on the subject, and went over immediately to Bridge Hampton, Sag Harbor and East Hampton, and asked the clergy to countenance him at least so far in the movement as to be present. But they all declined — he stood alone, the youngest member of the Presbytery, but determined, under dixdne assistance, to go on. He says of this — " The day came. Ifwas a cold, uncomfortable day, I think, of November. I had endeavored to prepare myself with what care I could. As I entered the pulpit I saw the house 16 122 History of Southampton. was filled to overflowing. Every drunkard was staring me in the face. I saw not only that attention, but that feeling was awake on the matter before me. I quailed under it ; but it was to be met. I never had had such a sensation before nor since. But God sustained me. I preached a sermon in the morning an hour and a half in length, and in the afternoon better than an hour. The object was to present the whole subject so far as I was able. And so large and attentive an audience I had not seen before nor since in Southampton. And before the blessing was pro- nounced, a motion was made to adjourn to my house that even- ing, to draw up a constitution and form a society on the principle of total abstinence." 14. Daniel Beers. The fourteenth pastor was the E,ev. Daniel Beers, who was in- stalled June 8, 1830, and dismissed April 21, 1835. On leav- ing Southampton he was called to the Presbyterian Church of Greenport, where he was installed, December 2, 1835, and re- mained till January 31, 1839. Thence he removed to Orient, preaching, as stated suj)ply, for a number of years, having com- menced his labors there in February, 1839. He was a laborious, painstaking and useful pastor, and his labors in Southampton were abundantly blessed. It was in some measure owing to his energy and ardor in pushing on the enterprise, that the Academy was erected in 1831. 15. Hugh K Wilson, D. D. The fifteenth pastor was the Rev. Hugh 'N. Wilson. His father was James Wilson, Esq., of Elizabeth, N. J. He was born May Y, 1813, was graduated at the College of 'New Jersey, in Princeton, in 1830, and elected tutor there in 1832. He studied theology in the Seminary at Princeton, and was licensed to preach by the Presbytery of Elizabeth, April 23, 1835. He commenced his labors in the ministry in this place in September, 1835, and was ordained October 7, 1835, and installed June 29, 1836. In 1837 he was married to Jane, the daughter of Capt. James Post of this village. He had children Eleanor, Henrietta, Julia The Eaklt Chdkch. 123 A., and Mary P. The pastoral relation was dissolved in the spring of 1852. Sorrowfully the people parted with their pastor, for during his long ministrj of seventeen years, his labors had been abundantly blessed in extensive revivals and large accessions to the church. In April, 1852, he departed witli the good wishes and prayers of his congregation for his success in a new field of labor in Hackettstown, New Jersey. From Hackettstown he was called to the Second Dutch Church of New Brunswick, whither he went in the year 1858, Having been dismissed from this charge, he was invited to preach as a stated supply, once more to the people of his first charge, in Southampton, in the summer of 1863. Here he continued with acceptance, the Lord blessing his labors, until a call was made out for liis settlement, which having accepted, he was again installed the second Sabbath of October, 1864.* The sermon of installation was preached by the Rev. Wilham H. Dean, of Amagansett, and the charge to the people delivered by the same. Rev. Charles Sturgis, M. D., gave the charge to the minister. He resigned his second charge here May 1, 1867, and removed to Germantown. 16. John J. A. Morgax The Rev. John J. A. Morgan was first employed June 26, 1852, and installed as pastor, January 20, 1853. The installation sermon was delivered by Rev, Edward Hopper, of Sag Harbor, the charge to the pastor and ordaining prayer by Rev. E. C. Wines, D. D., of East Hampton, and the charge to the people by Rev. Mr. Edgar of Bridgehampton. Mr. Morgan was dismissed in September, 1855, and ministered to a church as pastor in Bridesburg, Pa. ; afterwards he accepted a call to the pastorate of the church in Hempstead, L. I. In 18T1 he connected himself with the Episcopal church. From 1855 to 1863 the congregation had no settled pastor, be- ing supplied by various individuals of whom the principal were Messrs. Crane, Kennedy and Cleveland. Rev. Elias N. Crane labored as stated supply from November 4, 1855, to April 3, 1856. * Church Manual 1870 says his reinstallinent took place September 25, 1864. Which is cor- rect ? I will not change this as it was not here recorded without reason or care. 124 HloTOKr OF SoDTHAMPTON. The Rev. David Kennedy began his labors here as stated snp- ply November 23, 1856, and continued till October 24, 1858. Rev. Abijah Green was employed by Mr. K. as substitute from December 10, 1856, to February 7, 1857. The Rev. William Neal Cleveland, remained' here as stated supply, from January 1, 1859, to July 2, 1863.

Andrew Shiland, D. D. 20. Walter Condict. This church has raised up an unusual number of ministers, the most of whom are still laboring on earth in the Master's cause. Their names are : Jonah Fordham, Walter Wilmot, James M. Huntting, Robert Shaw, Samuel Hunt, Samuel Hampton Jagger, Samuel Huntting, Henry M. Parsons, Edward Halsey Sayre, Samuel Edward Herrick and George Rogers HoM^ell, and from the Methodist Society, Barnabas F. Reeve. Dr. Lyman Beecher (Autobiography, vol. 2, p. 510) says in ref- erence to Edward Herrick, who was then in Yale College prepar- ing for the ministry, and a man of brilliant talent and shining piety : " Oh, how I remember that day when God first fiashed deep conviction upon my soul, and tore away the veil from my heart, and set my sins in order before me ! I was overpowered, and broken down with grief and confusion ; and when I went out of my room, whom should I meet but Edward Herrick of Southampton, Long Island, who was a student with me at Yale College. How he happened to know of my feelings, I can't tell, unless he saw it in my face, but he came up to me, and kindly taking my hand, began to talk with me upon the subject of religion. Oh, he was an angel sent from heaven to my soul ! You ought all to be ministering spirits too." The Early Church. 125 Mr. Herrick was a brother of Mr. Micaiali Herrick, and an early death prevented him from entering npon that labor of love which he coveted. He graduated in the class of 1796. Rev. Paul Cuffee. The following account of him is derived substantially from Prime's History of Long Island. He was the second of seven sons of Peter Cuffee, a native Indian of the Shinnecock tribe, and grand- son, on his mother's side, of the Rev. Peter John, who was also a Shinnecock and a faithful and successful preacher of the gospel to the native Indians of the Island. He was born in the town of Brookhaven, March 4, 1757. His mother was said to have been an eminently pious woman, and a member of the native Indian Church at Wading River. She being of African descent, Paul was, of course, not of pure aboriginal blood. At an early age he was indentured as a servant to Major Frederic Hudson, at Wading River, with whom he labored until twenty- one years of age. During his minority he was reckless and much addicted to such low pleasures as presented themselves to him in his sphere of society. But it pleased the Lord to call him to a nobler career. During a revival in 1778-9, he was converted, and at once felt an ardent desire to labor for the salvation of his brethren on the Island. Though possessing a very limited edu- cation, he early commenced preaching — upon what authority, or licensed by whom, it does not appear. Removing from Wading River he went to Moriches, where he remained about two years ; and thence to Poosepatuck, where, in 1790, he was ordained to the work of the ministry, by a council of ministers from the Connecticut Convention. He afterward removed to Canoe Place, which continued to be his residence till his death. On the 17th of October, 1792, he was admitted a member of the "Strict Congregational Convention of Long Island" (what- ever that was), wliich had been organized about a year before, in fellowship with, the " Strict Congregational Convention of Con- necticut." In 1798 he received a commission from the " New York Mis- sionary Society " to labor with the renmants of the Long Island 126 History of Southampton. Indians, in whose employ he continued till his death, and annu- ally received a liberal compensation. The principal field of his labor was Montauk, Canoe Place, and Shinnecock, though he oc- casionally visited Poosepatuck and Islip, where there were then a few scattered remnants of the native tribes. He had a retentive memory, a fertile imagination, a musical voice, a graceful manner, and, as Mr. Prime narrates, a most un- affected humility of heart. He died as he had lived under the smiles of his Savior. His grave marked with a plain white slab, and enclosed with a paling, is on the borders of the old country road leading west from Canoe Place, and about one mile from that settlement. The headstone bears the following inscription : Erected | by | The l^ew York Missionary Society f In mem- ory of I The Rev Paul Cuffee | An Indian of the Shinnecock tribe | who was employed by that Society | for the last thirteen years of his life on the | Eastern part of Long Island | where he labored with fidelity and success. | Humble, pious and indefati- gable I in testifying the gospel of the grace of God ] he finished his course with joy, | on the | 7th of March 1812 | aged 55 years and three days. The Methodist Society. In 1845 the old Presbyterian Church, erected in 1707, was pur- chased and repaired for a house of worship for a Methodist soci- ety, which was then organized. In 1884 the Methodists sold the old church to an incorporated company for a village hall and built a new house of worsliip on land purchased of Mr. Albert J. Post to the north of his resi- dence. This society, commencing with small numbers, has grown largely, chiefly, however, by immigration, and at present is vigorous and prosperous. It has done a good work in the village, and the re- lations between its members and the older church have always been marked with good feeling. The tolerant spirit of the fathers has descended to the sons, and both churches have labored cordially side by side for the promotion of piety and good morals in the community. The Early Church. 127 Church Edifices. The first churcli edifice was erected in 1640 or 1641, withia a twelve-month, from the settlement of the town. Its site has been a matter of doubt till recently, when a deed was discovered in the ofiice of the Town Clerk by Mr. William S, Pelletrean, for a lot described as the " Old Meeting House Lot" bounded on the east by Old Town street, and north by the highway ; showing the site to be what is now the homestead of Mr. Joseph T. King. This house, according to tradition, was thatched, as probably were many of the first dwelling houses. In 1652 (N. S.), March 20, at a General Court, steps were taken to build a church thirty by twenty-four feet; posts to be set in the ground and to be eight and a half feet from the ground to the plate. This was the second church. October 14, 1667, John Tennison acknowledges receiving part " pay to the building of the Meeting House." From the records of the town again (Liber A, No. 2, p. 51) it appears that this church was not com- pleted until some time between 1669 and 1672. As to the loca- tion of this church, there is no doubt whatever. It stood on what is now the homestead of Mr. Edwin Post. Its location is given in a record of a settlement of a dispute between Isaac Willman and the town, on November 29, 1672. The third was erected in 1707, and stood on the south-west cor- ner of the land of the late Captain Albert Rogers, facing the main street and the lane. (See frontispiece.) It is still standing, after having been used as a house of worship by the Methodist society from 1844 to 1884. The steeple of this church, pulled down by ropes in 1842 or 1843, was built in 1751. The fourth was erected in the year 1843. Presbyterian Church of Bridgehampton. 1. The first minister was the Rev. Ebenezer White, who was ordained here October 9, 1695. He served as a supply here for some time previous to this and in April of that year purchased ten acres of land having thereon a residence and other buildings, in Sagg. On May 27, 1695, the town granted him fifteen acres 128 HiSTOKT OF Southampton. of land. Mr. "White labored here fifty-three years and died Feb- ruary 4, 1756, aged eighty-four. 2. The second pastor was the Rev. James Brown, who was ordained June 16, 1748. He resigned his charge March 27, 1775,* and removed to a farm at Scuttle Hole, now owned by George Strong. He died April 22, 1788, in the sixty -eighth year of his age, and was buried in the cemetery in Scuttle Hole. 3. The third pastor was the Rev. Aaron Woolworth, a bi'illiant scholar and one loved by all his people for his many excellent traits of character. He was a native of Long Meadow, Mass., and a graduate of Yale. He married a daughter of Rev. Dr. Samuel Buel of East Hampton, and one of his sons, Samuel Buell "Woolworth, LL.D., was long the secretary of the Regents of the University of the State of New York. Dr. Woolworth was ordained August 30, 1787, and continued here in the minis- try for thirty -four years and died among his people. 4. The fourth pastor was the Rev. Amzi Fi-ancis, who was or- dained April 17, 1823, and continued here for twentj^-three years until his death on October 18, 1845, at the age of fifty-two. 5. Rev. Cornelius Edgar came to this place November 21, 1845, and was ordained June 10, 1846. He resigned his charge October 2, 1853, and removed to Easton, Pa., where he still re- mains as pastor of the Reformed church. 6. Rev. David M. Miller was installed April 27, 1854, after having preached about three months as stated supply. He mar- ried Isabel, only daughter of Judge Hugh Halsey, of this village, and died in June, 1855. 7. Rev. Thomas M. Gray, son of Rev. John Gray, of Easton, was installed April 23, 1856. He resigned April 10, 1866. 8. Rev. William P. Strickland, D.D., preached from May, 1866, to October 5, 1875, as stated supply, when he was installed as pastor. He resigned in October, 1878. 9. The present pastor is the Rev. Arthur Newman. A Methodist church was organized here in 1820 and is now in a flourishing condition. *W. S. Pelletreau. The Early Chcech. 129 The first clmrch was erected probablv in 1695, when the parish of Bridgehampton was organized. It stood abont half-wav be- tween the main north and sonth street of Sagg. and the street leading from Bull Head to the beach. It was situated on a road now closed up a little south of the present residence of Hon. Henry P. Hedges. The second church edifice, erected in the year 1737. stood about fifty rods from Francis'* comer, eastward on the north side of the street, and half in the street and half in the lot. The stepping stone before the entrance door still remains in xitu. It 5t«>3d un- til 184:2 when a new church was erected which is now used. In 1764 Whitefield preached one of his great revival sermons iu this second church. The '• Xew Light '' church stood about five rods from the main highway, between South and Bridgehampton, on Kufus Rose's lane, and on the west side of the lane. The building itself was removed to a site uear the residence of Dr. bright, and i- ru.-x- . ht- cupied as a dwelling house. Sag Habeob Chtbches. Sag Harbor b^an to be settled about 1730, N^o foil history is given of this place, since a work giving its history in detail is already prepared by Luther D. Gx»k. Esq. The first church edi- fice in this village was Presbvterian, and erected in 1766. John Foster, of Southampton, "Wm, He»iges. of East Hampton, and Maltby Gelston, of Bridgehampton, were appjinted at a meet- ing of its inhabitants to solicit aid in their several villages. It stood where the present Episcopal church now stands. The sec- ond Presbyterian church edifice was erected in ISl ' r'^erwards was sold and became the first church of the EpisC' :y. The third was erected in 1S4:3. The ministers of this Presbyterian church have been as follows : John Taylor, 17S9 : James Kich- ards, D.D. ; the first pastor, Daniel HalL ordained September 21, 1797, removed to Shelter Island in the spring of 1806 ; Nathaniel S. Prime, stated supply. October 26, IS^V;, to the fell of 1S09; Stephen Porter and Mr. Gaylord stated supply each for some months ; John D.

There are besides those men- tioned, now in Sag Harbor, a Methodist and a Roman Catholic, and two churches for colored people. Church Matters. A few of the decrees of the General Court will throw some light both on ecclesiastical matters and on the constant uncertain- tainty and anxiety, if not peril, of our forefathers while living in proximity to another and a barbarous race. "Oct. 29, 1645. Ordered by Generall Court that there shall be a cessation of taking armes to the Meeting House on the Lord's day from Nov. 1st to the first of March ensuing. "Dec. 28, 1669. Whereas there was a contest in the towne about a piece of ground to set the meeting house upon, now at a towne meeting it is staked out for that purpose lying upon the front of Isake Willraan's home lot. (Liber A, No. 2, p. 51.) " Aug. 4, 1681. At a Town meeting the building of the gal- leries of the church was postponed till another year." The salary of the ministers in early times was raised by a jpro rata tax as appears by the following order : "At a towne meeting held Feb. 17, 1687, it is ordered and Concluded by the generall voate of the towne, that if any pson shall faile to pay his Respective Rates to Mr. Whiteing of his yearly maintenance at or before the first of April! next ensu- ing after the said Rates shall become Due that then the Constable for the time being shall take by distress the said proportions for the year past, of the severale persons so Defective for the use of the said Mr. Whiteing which is to be at the proper cost and Charge of those soe behind in their rates.

" Thomas Halsey, John Cooper, Arthur Howell, James Herrick," (and 46 others.) The town set apart also land in Sagg for the parsonage, when Rev. Mr. Ebenezer White was called as the first minister of the 132 lliSTOKY OF ISoutiia:sii'to>?. Bridii'ehainpton parish. Some years later in March 20, 1712 (or 13), the tbllowing report was made to the town : " March the 20th 1712-13.

" ABRAHAM HOWELL, " THEOPHILUS HOWELL, "ISAAC JESSLTP, " ISAAC HALSEY." By this it appears the people at Southampton called themselves Presbyterians, and even from the beginning they had ruling elders in the church as witness, Liber A, No. 1, p. 39, where John Cooper is named and styled as such in 101:1:. The Presbyterian Quarterly of January, 1S59, as cited by Dr. Stiles, in his History of Ancient Windsor, says on this point : " A.S to the constitution of the individual church in the early history of New England, it was Presbyterian rather than Congre- gational. This was the case with tlTe mother Church of Leyden, of which flobinson was Pastor, and Brewster a Ruling Elder. They seem to have borrowed tlieir ideas of the proper and scrip- tural organization of an individual churrh, with scarce a modiliea- tion from the writings of Calvin. In the French Reformed Church, as is well known, the principles of the Genevese Reformer were more perfectly and constantly carried out than in Geneva itself, and it is to the French Reformed Churches that the Leyden Church refers as the pattern from which they had drawn. In response to certain honorable members of his INIajesty's The Early Chdrch. 133 Privj Council, Robinson and Brewster reply under their own signatures to the effect that ' touching the ecclesiastical min- istry, namely, of pastors for teaching, elders for ruling, and dea- cons for distributing the Church contribution, as also for two sac- raments, etc., we do wholly and in all points agree with the French Reforaied Churches, according to tlieir public confession of faith.' They add that some small differences were to be found in their practice, but such only as were 'in some accidental cir- cumstances' and 'not at all in the substance of the things.' Yet in specifying these differences, they say, ' We choose none for governing elders, but such as are apt to teach^ ' Their elders are annual, etc., ours perpetual.' ' Our elders administer their office publicly, theirs more privately.' These are the only matters of difference between themselves and French Reformed Churches, to which they refer in connection with the form of government or the constitution of the individual church. * * "^ In accord- ance with such views the Leyden Church was constituted. They were of course reflected in the Constitution of the Plymouth Church in this country. * * * J3ailie says, the settlers did ' agree to model themselves {i. 6., the people of Hampton, Mass.,) after Mr. Robinson's pattern,' and Cotton speaks of ' the Ply- mouth Church helping the first comers in their theory, by hear- ing and discovering their practice at Plymouth.' * * * The Cambridge Platform (1048) thus recognizes the Presbyterian Constitution of the Church. It says : ' Of elders some attend chiefly to the ministry of the Word, as the pastors and teachers ; others attend especially unto rule, who are therefore called ruling elders^ Acjain ; ' The rulino- elders office is distinct from the of- flee of pastor and teacher.' His ' work is, to join with the pastor in those acts of spiritual rule which are distinct from the minis- try of the Word and Sacraments.' Among the specified duties, are admission of members ; convening the church ; ' preparing matters in private' for more speedy dispatch, etc. * * * In accordance with these principles the greater part of the early New England churches were established. * * * Of the im- portance of the eldership, Hooker speaks in very emphatic lan- guage : ' The elders must have a Church within a Church, if they 134 History of Southampton. would preserve the peace of the Church. Nor would he allow questions to be discussed before the whole body, till the proper course had been resolved upon in the Presbytery or session of the elders.' " As this was the forming or transition period in American church history, irregularity in practice might be expected and is certainly found. Lechford (Plaine Dealing) writes that there was great difference in the matter of ruling elders, some churches being organized on the present Presbyterian form with elders and deacons, and some without them. The ministers even in some cases virtually exercised presbyterial authority, Josselyn (Two Voyages) says the governments of the churches were Independent and Presbyterial, and each church has one pastor, one teacher, ruling elders and deacons. In a MSS. wi-itten by Abiel Holmes, discovered in a cabinet of President Stiles, it is stated that the settlers of the east end of Long Island were chiefly Presbyterians. The manner of ad- mission to church membership frequently was by a public exami- nation in church, followed by a vote of the whole congregation upon receiving the candidate ; and in other cases the examination of the candidate was in private by the ministers and elders, after which the party was received by the votes of the whole congre- gation. Manner or Seating People in the Church of Bridge- HAMPTON. About sixty years ago the pews ot the church were free, but occupied accoi'ding to this regulation : Men, called assessors, were appointed to seat the people in rank of age. The oldest and most venerable in the congregation were seated in the front seats — next the less old, and so on till all the seats below were occupied. In the galleries, by connnon consent, a similar custom prevailed. The young men held the front and the boys were behind them diminishing in age as they approached tbe walls. Thus a lad be- ginning with the back seat next to the wall would, if he lived to old age, by gradual promotion, have worked his way through the whole church, sitting in each rank successively as death thinned The Early Church. 135 the ranks before him. The same regulation obtained with the female part of the congregation. A wife always sat in a seat of equal rank vnth. her husband, but always on her side of the house. It was not till pews were annually rented that the sexes were al- lowed to be seated together in the same seats. In the Southampton church the old men sat in side seats on each side of the pulpit, with the small boys in their front. It was not uncommon for an unlucky boy at play to be arrested by a vigorous box of tlie ear by one of the old men beliind him, "At a Towne meeting November the 5 16T9 It is ordered that Mr. Justice Topping with the Constable and Overseers attended by Henry Piersun shall appoynt all the Inhabitants of this Towne their proper and distinct places in the meeting house on the Lord's day to prevent disorder." The order of seating has not been handed down, yet something is known. The pulpit was very high, supported by a shaft and projected in front, leaving directly under it a space large enough for a pew called the deacons' seat, in which these officers were seated in dignity, overlooking the congregation. Directly in front of them was the communion table, between which, and the con- gregation, eat the magistrates. The clock in the church was made in New Haven about the year 1765. Church Bells. The following correspondence in relation to the first two bells from the Records is given as a curiosity : East Hampton July ye 25th 1693.

London, May 19, 169-i. Mr. Walter Mico writes to Matthew Howell that according to his order of July 25, 1693 for a new bell, he had one cast and ready to ship in November, 1693 but could not, it being prohibited by law. But an act for exportation of bells having since passed, he shipped it on that day May 19, 1694 on board the European, John Foy, Master, The bell weighed 173 lbs. and the bill was as follows: Bell weighing 173 lbs 14d per lb Clapper & Screw 11 lbs 7d per lb All other charges Credit for old bell 54 lbs 9d per lb The bell was hung in the church in 1695. It was carted from "Northwest" near East Hampton, by Samuel Cooper. The bell in the old church in 1843 weighed between 300 and 400 pounds. In 1843 a bell was purchased for the new church, but broke with- in two years, and another was then obtained weighing about 800 pounds. A Mr. Boyer came over from Havre in France, with or after Elias Pelletreau, and lived in Southampton. He was a merchant, and boarded with the Pelletreau family. In the year 1729 he had made and presented to the church two heavy communion cups of silver with the simple inscription engraved upon them, " S. church, 1729." Ten years later two others were made with the follow- £10 01 00 06 01 04 10 05 11 11 13 03 02 08 00 09 05 03 The Early Church. 137 ing inscriptions: on one " Sought Hampton Church;" on the other, " For the chnrch of Sought hatnton, 6 Decembr 1739." The inscription on the tombstone of Mr. Bojer in the Northend burying ground is as follows ; " Here lyes ye body of Mr Stephen I Bowyer of Arver in France who j came to this place in ye year 1686 | Departed this life Oct ye 24 ( 1730 aged 73 years."

Schools. From the earliest period of the settlement to this day, a deep interest has always been felt in sustaining the public schools. The character of the original settlers itself secured this in their genera- tion, and their descendants appreciating the importance of educa- tion, have always sustaine4 the teacher. Some of the earliest records discovered, together with others, are here presented. Richard Mills who was here as early as October 7, 1650, when he was made freeman, and removed March, 1651-2, writes himself "schoolmaster" once on the town records, in January, 1650-51, s] lowing there was a school here as early as this date. " 1663, Sept. 22. Jonas Holdsworth is engaged to keep school for two years at 35 lbs. per year. " 1664, Sept. 5. Ordered to build a school house 20 feet long and 15 feet wide before winter at the town's charge. " 1694. John Mowbray engages to teach six months from the 1st of May to the 1st of November, for 12 shillings per 'scholler,' 18 138 HisTOKY OF Southampton. teaching from 8 o'clock till eleven in the morning and from one o'clock till five in the afternoon.'" The school-house in use for the latter half of the eighteenth century, and even later, was a large one-storj building with a wide, open fireplace in each end. Capacious as the fire places were in the cold winter days, they were piled high with hickory logs, and under the genial influences thus diffused, our grand- fathers and grandmothers played, or studied the old school books that now lie dusty and mouse-eaten in strange nooks and corners, in ancient houses with other garret trumpery. About the year 1T86 the people began to agitate the question of building an academy here, as one was much needed for all the surrounding country. At that time there was not a high school on the island, at which boys could be fitted for college, and they were comparatively few in New England. To undertake this enterprise so soon after the close of the war, when this town like the whole country had been drained of its resources, certainly shows a high appreciation of the importance of learning. But the undertaking was thwarted by a spirit of rivalry in the sister town of East Hampton, and by the superior enterprise of Dr. Buel, who, learning the purposes of the Southampton people, raised his subscriptions, and promptly obtained a charter from the State Legislature for the Chnton Academy. This was in 1787. The academy at Flatbush was chartered on the same day, and Clinton Academy was one of the first two incorporated academies in the State of New York. However, the growth of the town at last made it necessary to erect a suitable building for a high school, and in the year 1831 such a one was erected, and for the most has met with a fair degree of prosperity. Since its erection it has exercised a marked and most beneficial infiuence on the community. This academy met with a remarkable accident in the summer of 1853. A thunderstorm was passing over the village, and a heavy bolt of lightning struck it about seven o'clock in the morn- ing. The charge divided, part passing down the chimney at one end, and on the steeple at the other. The cliimney rested on two tough white oak posts on the ground floor ; one of these posts was The Eaelt Chtech, 139 riven and split into whips, which were scattered over the room.

In the upper room now called the Academy HalL nearly all the panes of fflass in the windows were burst outward bv the raritied and expanded air. Since its establishment about fifteen young men of the village have receiveti their preparatory c-ourse within its walls, most of irhoni have graduated at various colleges ; many other young men from other vTU^es on the Island have also been fitted for college here. 140 History of Southampton. CHAPTER IX. VARIOUS LOCALITIES RESIDENCES OF SETTLERS CHANGES OF RESIDENCE RESIDENCES IN 1S65. It is to be lamented tliat tlie language of tlie aborigines, the Shinnecoek tribe of Indians, passed away and was forgotten be- fore some one arose to perpetuate it on record. However, it is perpetuated in the nanie^ of various localities, though their sig- niiication is lost. Other local names on the town records are now no longer heard, and still others exist whose origin is ob- scure. Some changes too in the laying out of streets and the contiguration and state of the laud have taken place, since the fii-st settlers erected their houses in the forest. The ocean has made considerable encroachments upon the land during this period, variously estimated from forty to eighty rods. The town pond extended as a creek and swamp, at least as far as Huntting's lane. One lane or street has been opened, and another closed — the former Job's lane, or the Academy lane, which was originally a portion of the Sayre homestead, and was given to the town for a public highway by Job Sa^Te, the sou or grandson of Thomas Sayre, the first settler of that name. The only way of reaching the fertile land of the '" Xecks *" was originally around the corner opposite the house where Harriet Heubeii Halsey formerly resided ; then, very soon after the settlement, Huntting's lane was laid out as a liighway, and finally the grant of Job Sayre succeeded for tlie same purpose. The first settlers seem to have occupied chiefly tlie land in the south part of the village, in order to place the barrier of a pond between them and the Indi- ans. In 1SS4: a new road from the milroad station to Gin lane was laid out and opened, which has not been formally named, but which is being generally called the East road. The island has been known under various names. By the Delawaivs it was called Matowacks, and is so named in the ijrant The Settleks. 141 of New Netherlands, by Charles II., to James of York, and in various other documents. It was sometimes called on the main by the name of Sewanhacky, or the Island of Shells. By the Montauks and Shiunecocks it was known as Paumanake. From Ogilby's America we leara that the town of Southampton had then the musical name of Agawam. March 20, 1692-93, Gov- ernor Fletcher requested the Council to call the island Nassau Is- land, in honor of the King, "William Prince of Orange, as he said " that the King's name may dwell among you." This change was decided upon by the Council April 10, 1693.* In a similar way the name of the county was changed from the East Riding of Yorkshire to Suffolk, in honor of James, Duke of York and Albany, who was also Duke of Suffolk. The town pond has lately been called very appropriately Aga- wam lake, a name which in 1865 was given to Little Fresh pond, between Southampton and North Sea. It is but just to give another name to this little lake in the woods, and Nippaug is sug- gested, a name which in the Indian language of Long Island sig- nified a small body of fresh water. The large twin lake on the west of the road to North Sea might appropriately be called Missipaug lake, the Indian equivalent of Big Fresh pond. MiU Neck was the local name of a tract of land about two miles eastward of the village, now known as Watermill. Eastward of this was a strong settlement from about 1660, and later, called Sagabonack, and now known by the name of Sagg. In some of the public documents of the town, we notice Shel- ter Island mentioned under the name of Farret's Island. The Indian name of Canoe Place is variously spelled as Nia- muck and Niamug. Ponquogue appears to be a corruption of the original Indian appellation Paugonquague, and Quaquanantuck is now abbrevi- ated and known as Quogue. Great and Little Plains. These names frequently appear on the early records, and as they are now no longer known as distinctive names of any locality, ♦Records MSS , State Libraiy, Council Minutes, vol. C, p. 09. 14:2 lllSiOKV <.'F tSoUTlIAMFTON. it may bo wortli whilo to (.loscriho tlie tracts of land ?o deiiomi- iiated by our ancestors. Tbo Great Plains, or the General Field, as it was also sometimes called, were bounded on the north by Cap- tain's Neck lane, east by the town pond, south by the beach, aiid west by Taylor's creek ; thus it iiicbuled First, Cooper's, Hal- sey's and Captain's necks. T'.ie Little Plains wc-re bounded north by Frog pond or Gin lane, south by the beach, east by old town j^oud and west bv the town pond. The following report of the exeeution of an order of the General Court will throw light on this matter, while for other reasons it contains items of interest. It is to be remembered that some of the land therein mentioned now lies doubtless outside of the breakers in the Atlantic ocean. This tract; of land was originally three lots deep north and S(.>uth and has been diminished nearly one-half by the encroachments ot the ocean since the settlement, incredible as it may appear. " Acording to an order established by the Gene rail Court, held in Southampton vpon the 5th of March. An Dom, lOM. the plaine called the little plaii\e was layed forth in diuisions for the inhabitants of the s;ude towne per Richard Odell apoyuted for the same, who laved forth the saide land in three seueral diuidences, one of euery three making two achoi-s, which two acors lying in the thive diuidences aforesjiid was layed out to an hundred tV: fifty pound lott, the s;nd diuidences being drawn by the Inhabitants by lotery in vV: u[K>n the 20th day of Maivh, 1651.

This was in two divisions, north and south, and must have been so designated rather later than tlie great and little plains, since the southern division of the ox pasture trenched upon the north- ern limits of the great field. The soutli division lay between Cooper's and Ilalsey's neck lanes on the south, and Captain's neck lane on the north. The north division lay between Captain's neck lane on the south, and the main highway to Shinnecock on the north — out of wliich tract, however, must be excluded thii-ty acres of parsonage land. The following order will add some light on this point, while it shows also that the eastern boundary of the ox pasture, both north and south divisions, was tlie town pond. It was ordered " to erect a five rail fence to begin at a branch or creek of water belonging to Shinnecock bay, which divides the land of Major John Howell and Isaac Ilalsey Sr., at the west end of said plains, (Great) and so to run said fence Eastward on the North side of the highway which divides the North and South division commonly known by the name of the Ox pasture divis- ion, until it comes to range with the west line of the parsonage land, and then to turn Northward to the So. West comer thereof, and thence on Eastward upon the South line of both pieces of said parsonage land unto the town pond, which fence is to be the 14-1: HiSToKY OF SOUTHAMPTOX. north bound of said general field and east bounded bv the said pond."

Boundaries. Some little trouble was experienced quite earlr in establishing the east and west boundaries of the town ; those on the north and south natui-e had happily settled for them beyond all dispute. This record pertains to the eastern and put an end to all uncer- tainty from its date to the present time. " At a Comt of Election May li>. 1661. " It is agreed between Capt. Topping. Mr. Halsey. Mr. Stan- borough and John Cooper in behalf of all Southampton vnsatis- tied about their bounds, and Mr. Baker, and Mr. Mulford in behalf of ye Towne of East Hampton, That ye bounds between the two Plantations shal for euer be and remaine at the stake set down by Capt : How, an hundred pole eastward from a httle pond, the said stake being two miles or near thereabouts from ye east side of a great pond commonly called Sackaponack : and soe to run from ye South Sea to the stake and soe ouer the Island by a strait line to ye Eastern end of Hogneek." Another controversy arose with Southold in 1667, and an extract upon this from the town record is interesting not only for its bearing on the case, but for other incidental mention of Indian customs. Septembtr 15, 1667. Richard Howell and Joseph Rainer, aged about forty years, deposed this 15th of September, 1667. Saith as followeth : That vpon a time about the latter end of May last, Capt. John Youngs of Southold brought over to Southampton Thomas Stanton with some of the chief of Southold Indians, meeting at the School- house, some of the chief of the Southampton Indians with the Sachem being there. Capt. Touugs being asked the end of hi^ The Settlees. 145 coming, said, to finde out truth, viz.: whoe had the true right to je lande, or meadows in controversie between the said two townes, and the debate thereupon grew on betweene the Indians, there being present some of the Southoid Inhabitants, with divers of ye chief of the Inhabitants of Southampton : Tiiomas Stanton being ye Interpreter. These deponents heard the said Thomas ask both parties of ye Indians wlio had the true right to the said land and meaddows, and the said Indians (after long debate) Joyntly answered, that ye young eagles that were taken in the nest and the deare that were drowned or killed in the water. It was ye Indian Custome to carry ye sd eagles & the skins of the deare to those Sachems or Indians that were the true owners of ye laud, thereupon Tho. Stanton presently replyed, saying, indeed the Eagles & the deare were something, but if there were a beare killed or drowned, that would put the matter out of controversie, And these deponents heard Southampton Indians affirme that there was a beare drowned or killed in yt same tract of land now in controversy between ye two sd townes : Then Tho. Stanton asked them to whome the skin was carryed and Southampton Indians answered, to Sliinecock Indians. And South- old Indians allsoe acknowledged that ye said beares skin was car- ryed to Shinecock Indians by Soiithold Indians who took ye beare. Taken before me, Thomas Topping. Also the following : October ye 17th 1667, the Testimony of two Ancient women that formerly had lived at Accaboucke, do affirme that all the land and marsh ground betweene Peaconeck and Niamocke did belong unto Shinecock Indians, and that there was a bear drowned in the meadow on the East side of Peaconocke and that the skinne and fatt was brought to Shinecocke Indians, and one doth further affirme that she eat part of the said Bare.

No one of our ancestors has clone for Southampton what Col. Lyon Gardiner did for the town which he assisted to bring into existence, viz., leave for future generations a record of the resi- dences of the original settlers. Many changes in the course of two hundred and twenty -live years have, of course, obliterated some of the old land-marks, and the difficulty is no small one, to reconstruct at this time the town of 1650. Yet some waymarks are found scattered all along, by which, with other assistance, much can be done in solving this problem. The list of inhabi- tants in 1649, 1657 and 1698, which have been given, will go far to confii'm and complete the results of investigation of the town records. We take the following as a sure and reliable starting point ; the facts are ascertained beyond all dispute. Ox the East Side of the Town. Obadiah Rogers lived on the residence of Captain Albert Rogers, deceased, and this homestead has always been in the Rogers family. Henry Pierson lived on the opposite corner where the church now stands, or it may be a little to the south on the homestead now owned by Mr. Lewis Hildreth. Isaac WUman lived next north of the second church and on the home lot now belonging to Mr. Edwin Post. James Herrick lived on what is now the homestead of Mrs. Hannah, widow of Captain James Post. Tliis house was proba- bly a little south of the dwelling of Mrs. Post. Thomas Topping, Sen., lived on what is now the residence of Mr. Albert Foster. Ox the AYest Side of the Street. There can scarcely be any doubt but that Edward Howell, in 1648, built the house formerly occupied by Mr. William P. Her- rick. His homestead was bounded on the north by that of Thomas Sayre, and south by that part of the parsonage land lately sold to Mrs. Amanda Hildreth. Thomas Sayre resided where his descendants still live, north of the Academy, and probably in the same dwelling, though one- half of the house was added many years after Ins death. The Settlers. 147 148 History of Southampton. The Jones family resided on what is now the residence of the heirs of Mr. "Wm. T. Jones, and their homestead embraced alsa that of Mr. Edward Huntting, deceased. Besides these a large number of residences of a later period have been ascertained from the town records, the result of which investigations will appear at length iu the following plot of the main street of the village. If space would allow I would repro- duce the map of W. S. Pelletreau in volume 1 of the printed town records. Remarks in Explanation of the Following Plot. The relative width of the lots fronting the main street is very nearly preserved in the plot, from Gin lane to the Meeting House lane, on both sides of the street ; but from this point northward no such accuracy has been attempted, from want of sufficient data, and the design is merely to give the relative location of the. residences in early and later times. The placing of a [] in a lot is also not designed to mark the position of the house in that lot, but to indicate simply the fact of a residence somewhere in the same. To the north, say of Robert Woolley, in 1648, the nomesteads appear to have been larger than those south of this point, and, therefore, it has been impossible to indicate the exact locality of some who there resided. It is known that north of Manassah Kempton, on the same side of the street, lived James Hampton, who gave his homestead to his son-in-law, James Mappara. North of him lived Joshua Barnes. North of Barnes lived John Bishop in 1683. After every attempt to make an accurate analj'sis of all the data furnished by the records, perfect certainty cannot iu all cases be obtained — yet in the main the plot is beheved to be correct in the location of the homes of our ancestors. The west fork in the main street beginning at the residence of the late Capt. Austin Herrick, seems to have been laid out in 1712. Previous to this the line on the west side of the street must have run directly from the south-east corner of the burying ground to the south-east corner of the homestead of Captain A. Herrick.

West of Voncke, from 1646 to 16S4, Thomas Cooper resided. Cooper must have sold a house-lot to Toncke. John Tennison for a time, about 1668, resided on what is now the corner lot of Capt. Thomas Royce on the hill. South of this, about where is the residence of James Pierson, deceased, in 1698, lived James Cooper.

About 1650, Thomas Topping gives to his son-in-laAV, James Her- rick, a lot of land on his fi'ont, about two rods wide, for a house lot. He lived on what is now the homestead of Mr. Albert Foster. At this time, probably, and certainly in 1681, John Jessup lived on what is now the residence of the widow of Capt. James Post ; for in 1681 John Jessnp sells this homestead to James Herrick. North of this, where some shops or wood houses of Mr. Edwin Post now stand, must have been the site of the second church. North of the church was the conrt-house and in the re;ir the jail. Still north of these, on the present homestead of Mr. Edwin Post, ■was the residence of Isaac Willman. Next to this was the house of The Settlers. 15T Ellis Cook, now Mr. James Herrick's. Then next north lived John White very early, and north of him, embracing the late homestead of Mr. Lewis Hildreth and Mrs. Esther, widow of Dr. John P. Herrick, was the residence of Henrj Pierson. The house lot of William Russell was sold to Obadiah Sale in 1678, bounded north by home lot of John Laughton, east bj the street, south by the home lot of John Jagger, and west by the highway leading to North Sea. Obadiah Sale sells this homestead to George Heathcote, and it was afterward purchased of Heathcote by the town for a burying ground and is still so used. 1676. Richard Howell exchanges a lot laid out for a home lot of four acres, bounded north by home lot of Joseph Raynor, south by home lot of Mrs. Raynor or Jonathan Raynor (R. Howell bought this of John Lum), for six acres of Ben Davis' which he had of Arthur Howell and which were next to and south of Richard Howell's home lot. Arthur Howell and Hannah his wife, sell his home lot and house to Ben Davis, May 2, 1675, which lies between Joseph Raynor and Richard Howell's, containing six acres. Arthur Howell removed to Sagabonach. We will add some statements communicated to the author, con- cerning the residences during the better half of the last century, by Mr. Charles Pelletreau, now deceased. South of Mr. Isaac Foster's house was the residence of Obadiali Howell. North of Mr. Isaac Foster lived Nathan Jagger. South of Mr. Nicholas White lived Hugh Raynor, and James his son lived in the present residence of Mr. White. North of Mr. White lived Benjamin Marshall. North of HorsemiU lane lived Adonijah Raynor. South of the house of Mr. Barney Green lived John Howell. Deacon Thomas Jessup erected and occupied this house of Mr. Green. A windmill once stood on the south-west corner of the lot of Capt. Charles Howell, which lies south of the homestead of Mr. Albert Foster. Stephen Howell lived on the present resi- dence of Mr. Edwin Halsey. Jeremiah Jagger lived on the present residence of Capt^ 15S History of Southampton. George White. East of the homestead of Capt. Barney Green, deceased, lived John Fowler, Esq. Caleb Cooper lived on the present residence of Mr. Sehroeder. Charles Cooper lived on the place of the late Sylvanus Mai*shall. Dr. Smith lived on the place of Mr. William Pelletrean, deceased. Joshua Sayre lived north of the present home of Mr. Caleb Halsey. Stephen Sayre lived on the present homestead of Mr. Jackson, but afterward removed from the town. Elias Foster lived on the present homestead of Mr. Peter Fournier. John Foster, one of the convention to adopt the Con- stitution of the United States, lived on the late homestead of Mr. Lewis Hildreth. Deacon Samnel Howell lived on the home- stead now of Mr. Jeremiah Squires. To complete the list of present residences in the main street from the fork in the road opposite the burying ground, north- ward on the trapezoidal tract of land which forms the fork, lived on the end fronting the south, the widow of the late Capt. Austin Herrick. On the east side north of Mrs. Herrick lived Capt. Daniel Jagger and north of him Capt. Henry Halsey, and still north of him Miss Sayre. On the west side of the same lived Mrs. Agee Halsey. On the east side of the east branch of the main street line, successively advancing northward, the vridow of Jonathan Fithian, Esq. (as in the plot before given), Charles Bishop, Caleb Halsey, Septa Jackson. Peter Fournier, James Bishop. "William Jagger and Lewis Jagger. On the west side of the same branch live Mrs. Lewis Sanford, Albert Jagger, Albert Reeves and Francis Bishop. On the south end of a tract of land between the two branches aforesaid, and fronting south live Mr. Lewis Bowden, on the west, and Mr. John Burnett to the east of him. On the west side of the west branch, north of Capt. William Fowler (as in the above plot) lived Mrs. Harriet R. Halsey, Mr. E. Wines Payne and Captain Samuel McCorkle. On the east side of the same lived Mr. David Jagger. Tillages A^■D Hamlets. Watermill. This was settled very early, the grist mill being erected there bv Edward Howell in 16Jb4, and the land being: taken The Settlers. 159 np by the sons of the first settlers. It is in the j^arish of Southamp- ton village. It maintains a prosperous district school and has a population of nearly 200. Sagg. This village was settled as before stated about 1660. The earliest settlers were Josiali Stanborough, John and Elnathan Topping, Henry Pierson, Christopher Learning and Rev. Ebenezer White. Theophilus, son of Major John Howell, settled here quite early on land now occupied by G. Clarence Topping. Daniel Hedges came here about 1702 from East Hampton and was the progenitor of those of the name in Southampton. Among the oldest epitaphs in the village burying ground are the following : " Here lyes buried the body of Theoi^hilus Howell, Esq. Aged 77 years ; deceased March the 12, 1739." "Coll. Henry Peirson deceased November the 15 in the 50 year of his age. 1701." "Mr. Peregrine Stanborough, Deacon in the Parish. Departed this life Jan. the 4, 1701, in the 63 year of his age." " Here lies the Body of Captain Elnathan Topping, who departed this life March the 26 anno Domini 1705, aged 04 years." " Here lieth the Body of John Topping, Justice of the Peace, aged fifty years, who departed this life in the 29 day of May in the year 1686." " Here was layed the body of Mr. Nathaniel Rusco, who dyed Avgvst the 21st Anno 1714, in the 67 year of his age." Noyae. Isaac Jessup settled here in 1712. His homestead continued in this family till about 1800, when Silas Jessup sold it to Jere- miah Osborn and after the death of his son Judge John S. Osborn it was sold to David Wiggins. A fulling mill was built here about 1690 by John Parker and in 1718 was owned by Jonah Rogers. The place is now well known from the fine trout ponds stocked and owned by G. W. Thompson. Canoe Place. This is on a peninsula between the Shinnecock and Peconic bays, called Niamuck by the Indians, and Canoe Place by the 160 History of Southampton. settlers from the fact that canoes u'ere drawn here from one bay to another by the Indians. The present hotel property was sold by the trustees of the proprietors in 1739 to Jeremiah Culver. Until the revolution his house was the only habitation between Riverhead and Southampton. From the revolution to the present dav the successive owners have been Major George Herrick, John Howell, grandfather of Charles Howell late of Ketchabonuck, George Seaman and Israel Coukling. Squiretown. Phis is a small hamlet near Peconic bay north of Good Ground. The first settler was Ellis Squires who came from East Hampton. Good Ground. This thriving village has sprung up since ISOO. It contains a Methodist church built in 1863 and a school-honse. It is so named from the fact that it is an oasis amid the barren pine lands that surround it.

Settlements began here about 1740 by the Cooks, Fosters, Howells and Posts from Southamp- ton. Among the epitaphs of the old burying ground we give the following : * " Here lies the body of Jonathan Cook, who departed this life March 7, 1754, aged 54 years." " In memory of Elizabeth, wife of John Foster, who departed this life the 18th of March 1773, in the 78th year of her age."

Ketchahonack. This is a district with farm houses scattered here and there, lying next west and north-west of Quogue. Jonathan Raynor was probably the first white resident, having a homestead here in 1738 ; now occupied by Elisha Raynor. In this locality the late Governor Joim A. Dix had a country seat and near this was the summer house of Joseph Alden, D. D., ex-president of the State Normal School at Albany. Mr. Mortimer D. Howell has a large boarding-house ; has for several years been a popular summer resort for people of the city. ♦ W. S.

There is no one village of this name at present, but it is the name of a station on the Long Island railroad and also is applied as a name to all that district generally between Quogue and Speonk. Beaverdarn. A grist mill was built here on the mill stream as early as 1748. " Before the mill-dams were built on Beaverdam and Speonk rivers the old country road crossed these streams near their heads, and it is supposed, at the same places the Indians had their cross- ings. After the dams were built the roads were turned so as to cross them. At the old road, some distance north of the mill at Beaverdam, is the corner between the ' Upper Division ' and the ' Last Division ' in Quogue purchase. A line running from the center of the dam to the bridge at Biverhead separates Quogue and Topping's purchases, and this dam is also the corner of the ' Speonk Division,' and ' Last Division ' in the latter."* A Presbyterian churdi was erected here somewhat previous to 1758. Among the old monuments in the burying ground are the following : " In memory of Stephen Jagger Esq., who died April 10 1796 in the 77th year of his age." '' In memory of Ephraim Halsey, who died August 20th 1764, aged 71 years." " In memory of Cornelius Halsey, who died April 19, 1783, in the 61 year of Lis age." * W. S. Pelletreau.

The village has a Methodist church and school-house and the population in 1880 was 196, Watermlle. The westernmost village on the south shore of the town is AVaterville, formerly Seatuck. It has a population of about 200 engaged in farming and fishing. Flanders. This is a small settlement in the north-west section of the town near Riverhead.

INDIANS FRIENDLY RELATIONS WITH THEM PURCHASE OF THEIR LANDS LEASE OF SHINNECOCK AND THE HILLS SALE OF SHINNECOCK HILLS. At the time of the settlement of Southampton, five tribes of Indians were living in its vicinity. The tract of land originally settled was j)m'chased of the Shinnecocks, leaving part of their lands still in their possession. The remainder of their tei-ritory was afterward pnrchased, and the western boundary of the town then M'as on the borders of the Poosepatnck, or Poosapatnck and Patchogne tribes, and the northern on the borders of the Pea- conics. To the east roamed the Montauk, the royal tribe of the island whose chief, Wyandanch, a man of noble character, exer- cised supreme authority over the whole thirteen tribes who occu- pied the island. The aggregate population of these tribes is now unknown, thougli collateral facts confirmed by tradition afford good evidence of its being very great. The Montauks are said to have been the most numerous and powerful. Tradition has it, that in early times when draAvn out in "Indian file'' the warriors of the Shinnecock tribe extended from Shinnecock gate to the town — this being about two miles would give them at least 2,000 adult men — but 200 seems far more probable. Nowedanah, a brother of Wyandanch, was the chief of the Sliinnecocks, as appears in the deed of sale of East Hampton. There is no reason to suppose the Indians on the east end dif- fered in character from those on the main — they were bold, hardy and warlike. Yet never once M^as there any armed collision or serious disturbance of the peaceful relations initiated at the settlement of the town. There were indeed, at times, ominous threats and rumors, but they all originated in the machinations of the natives on the main, or, there is some reason to believe, of the Dutch in New York. This friendly feeling was owing partly to The Indians. 165 the fact of the fair and equitable treatment they universally re- ceived from the English ; and partly from the peculiar circum- stances of the natives themselves. The Montauks on the east, and the Shmnecocks on the west, had been harrassed by incur- sions of the ]^arragan setts of Rhode Island, and were glad to enter into a treaty with the English for mutual protection. It will be seen from the Indian deed of 1640, given in the appen- dix, that this stipulation was made with the whites as a part of the consideration in the sale of the land. This understanding between the Indians and the English went far to secure peace within tlieii' borders. The amicable relations between the two races was seriously threatened in 1653, when the Narragansetts, perhaps allied with emissaries of the Dutch, endeavored to seduce the Indians on the east end of Long Island into a combination with them to extermi- nate all the white settlers. In this they were unsucessf ul, although the apprehensions of the English were greatly excited, and for some time unusual care was taken to guard against a sudden attack. * The Narragansetts of Rhode Island exercised a kind of feudal authority over the Indian tribes of the east end of Long Island, although these in former times were said by ancient Indians to have mustered over 5,000 warriors. This sovereignty, however, was probably fluctuating and dependent on the results of their not unfrequent contests in the field. f Another writer says of them : " The Indians upon L. I. were more fierce and barbarous, for one Capt. Howe about this time (1 642 or 3) going with eight or ten men to a wigwam there to de- mand an Indian that had killed one Hammond an Englishman [of which the Southampton records are silent] the Indian ran vio- lently out with a knife in his hand, wherewith he wounded one of the company, thinking to escape from them, so as they were forced to kill him upon the place, which so awed the rest that they durst not attempt any revenge. If they had been always so handled, they would not have dared to have rebelled as they did afterwards." Mather also says the English were obliged to * Gookin. Indian Tribes. t Hubbard. Gen. Hist, of N. E. 166 History of Southampton. arm themselves and be oii the defense many days as the Indians were assembled (1649) in a '' hostile posture." Rev. Samson Occiim, who belonged to the tribe of Mohegans originally dwelling in the territory between Norwich and New London, gives some account of the manners and customs of the Indians on the east end of Long Island. He labored among the Montauks and Shinnecocks as teacher and preacher. His account substantially agrees with that of Lyon Gardiner, and adds in sub- stance the following items : Marriages were often contracted by parents for their children in infancy, with the understanding, liowever, that the latter could ratify or ignore the parental agree- ment upon ariving at the age of discretion. It was usual to cele- "brate the marriage by a feast to which the friends of both parties were invited. Children were named also at a similar gathering for a dance, and often a man changed the name so given and chose one for himself, especially to commemorate some great event in his life. The great and good suj)reme being in the account of Occam is called Cauhluntoowut, and the great evil god, Mutcheshesunne- tooh, to both of whom sacrifices were offered. The bodies of the dead were washed before burial and then decked with ornaments and the face often painted. Mourning was continued a year during which the women usually blackened their faces. The period of mourning was terminated with a dance. He says " they used to bury great many things with their dead, especially the things that belonged to the dead, and what they did not bury they would give away, and they would never live in a wigwam in which any person died, but will immediately pull it down."* Mr. Occum was the first Indian preacher ever in Great Britain. He was educated by Mr. Wheeleck, President of Dartmouth College, and was ordained by the Suffolk Presby- tery.f He was the author of the hymn " Awaked by Sinai's awful sound." He preached with acceptance in New York and Boston. Mr. Prime, Hist, of L. I., says: "The conduct of the Long Island Indians towards the whites, is without a parallel in the * Mass. Hist. Coll., 1 s. v. 10. t Idem. v. 9. The I^^DIA^-s. 167 liistorj of this countrr. It was to be expected that individual acts of aggresion would occur on the part of a barbarous people, for real or supposed injuries. But even these were rare ; and the Indiaua always showed themselves willing to submit to an impar- tial investigation, and just decision of alleged wrongs. ' From records of particular courts at Hartford, Ct., Liber 2. p. 99, as published in Hist. Magazine, bv Mr. Charl^ J. Hoadlej, we take the following: " A perticuiar Court [at Hartford] May llth, 1657. " Vpon examination of WigwaguVj, hee Magistrates. confessed that hee was hyred to bume Jno Web=ter Esq Goumor l^rs.

The latter were obliged to appeal to the English on the Island and the main for assistance. The only other occurrence of this kind which happened in Southampton was the murder of Mrs. Thomas Halsey, in 1649, which caused some apprehension of a general insurrection against the English. A messenger was immediately sent to the magis- trates to smnmon "Wyandanch to appear before them. " His counselors fearing that he would be summarily condemned to death by way of retaliation, advised him not to obey the sum- mons. Before he expressed his own opinion, he submitted the ease to Mr. Gardiner, who happened to be lodging in his wigwam that same night. By his advice he set out inunediately for Southampton, Mr. G. agreeing to remain as a hostage to the tribe, for the safety of their beloved chief. With amazing celerity, he not only accomplished the journey of twenty-five miles, but actually apprehended on his way, and delivered to the magistrates, the murderers of the woman ; who instead of being his own sub- jects, proved to be Pequot Indians from the main ; some of whom were generally lurking on the Island for the purpose of promot- ing; disturbances between the natives and the new settlers. These men being sent to Hartford, were there tried, convicted, and ex- ecuted.*' The only allusion to this murder found in the records is as follows : " I the subscriber, namely, Thomas Halsey do witness that at the time of the trouble in this town of Southampton by reason of murther committed by the Indians ; at a great assembly of the Indians for the setthng of matters in fine, I saw Mandush (who was a man reputed and acknowledged generally by all Indians for those parts to be the great Sachem's son of Shinnecock) cut up a turf of ground in Southampton and delivering it to Wyan- danch, gave up all his right and interest unto him. And he the said Mandush with many other of the chief of Shinnecock Indians, as ancient men did manifest their consent and that they were con- tented by their ordinary sign of stroking "Wyandanch on the back The Indians. 169 and since tliat time the said Wyandanch hath acted upon the aforesaid interest given to him as by letting and disposing of lands at Quaquanantuck and elsewhere. And I never heard any deny Wyandanch his right and propriety in the premises until of late. And this I am ready to depose when thereunto called. Witness my hand the 19 day of September 1666." "THOMAS HALSEY." '* I the subscriber namely Thomas Sayre do also witness all that is above testified by Thos Halsey except only the delivery of the turf and further that when Mandush gave up his right to W3'an- danch, and stroked him on the back, Mandush also told Wyan- danch that noAv he would be all one dog. And this I am ready to depose when I am thereunto called. Witness my hand this 19 day of September 1666." "THOMAS SAYKE." Confirmation of this relinquishment of the fee of the land similar perhaps to that under William the Norman, in England, that, according to the feudal system, the barons should hold their tenures of the King, is found in some documents which Weany, Sunk Squa (or the royal Squaw, or Squaw Regent, in court par- lance) the widow of Wyandanch unites in signing with tlie Shiu- necocks. As to their religious belief, it has been found impossible to as- certain any information from the living representatives of the Shinnecock tribe. But Lyon Gardiner, the chronicler of East Hampton, has left on record a statement in reference to the Mon- tauks, who, doubtless, differed in nothing in this respect from other Long Island tribes. As no man was better qualified than he, the worthy friend of the noble Wyandanch, we give his notes entire. " They were, as I have before remarked, Polytheists. They had gods in great numbers ; many of lesser influence, having par- ticular charges, and two of exalted degree, the good and evil Deity, ha\^ng a general superintendence and control, as well over all other gods as over men. There was a god of the four cor- 22 170 History of Southampton. ners of the earth, and the four seasons of the year ; another of the productions of the eai'th ; another of the elements ; one of the day and night ; and a god of the hearth, the family and domestic relations. The great, good, and supreme Deity they called Caulkluntoowut, which signifies one possessed of supreme power. The great evil spirit was named Mutchesumetook, which signifies evil power. They worshipped and offered sacrifices to these gods at all times. They had small idols or images which they be- lieved knew the will of the gods and a regular Priesthood by whom these idols were consulted. The priests were called Powa- wows, or Powwas, and declared to the people what the gods re- quired of tiieni. When dances and feasts should be made ; when presents should be given to the old people ; when sacriliees should be ofiEered to the gods, and of what kind. These Pow- was pretended to hold intercourse ■with the gods in dreams, and with the evil spirits in particular, who appeared to them under different forms, and by voices in the air. These were the Medi- cine-men. They administered to the sick ; relieved those afflicted with evil spirits and poison, and incantations and charms, pro- tected the peopile from all harm. Subject to the Powwas' influ- ence, neither fire could burn them nor water drown them ; nor could they receive any injury whatever. The most savory sacri- fice made to the great Deity Avas the tail or fin of the whale, which they roasted. The leviathan, from which it was taken, was at times found cast upon the sea-shore, and then a great and prolonged Powow or Keligious Festival was held. At these fes- tivals great efEorts were supposed to be necessary to keep the Evil One without the circle of their incantations. His presence, it was believed, would defeat the object of the Powwas in the procurement of the favor and particular regard of the good deity. Violent gesticulations, loud yells, and laborious move- ments of the limbs and body, with distortion of the features, were continued until the excitement produced approached to madness. "When the Evil Spirit was supposed to be subjugated, the dance and the feast commenced. It is among the Indian tra- ditions, that the existence of the Evil Spirit was evidenced by his having, when driven from the feast, left the imprint of his foot upon a granite rock on Montauk, and made three holes in The Intdians. 171 the ground, at regular distances, where he alighted, in three sev- eral leaps from the stone on which he had stood, and then disap- peared. " They believed in a future state of existence, that their souls would go westward a great distance, and many moons journey, to a place where the spirits of all would reside, and where, in the presence of their great Sawwonnuntow, beyond the setting sun. the brave and the good would exercise themselves in pleasurable singing, in feasting, hunting, and dancing forever. The coward, the traitor, the liar, and the thief, were also there, but the enjoy- ments of the favored Sawwonnuntow only added to the pain of the punishments visited upon the misdeeds of the ^vicked. Ser- vile labor, so painful to and so much despised by the Indian, was the allotment of the sinful. The making a canoe with a round stone, and the carrying water in a wicker basket were among the perplexing exercises of those who had sacrificed the happiness of their future existence to the will of Mutchesumetooh or the Evil power." So more hopeless fate than this, the classical student vriW ob- serve, was awarded by the grim Rhadamanthus to Sisyphus, Tan- talus, or the daughters of Danaus. In 1641 the General Court passed i law making it penal to sell any instrument of war, namely, guns, powder, bullets, lead, swords or matches to the Indians, and also against selling any liquor to the same. A second law was afterward passed, allowing certain specified parties to trade with them discreetly in these things. For many years after the settlement the Indians derived their subsistence, like their brethren in other parts of the countrv, chiefly from hunting and fishing. But gradually adopting the civilized life, for generations past, they have cultivated sufificient land to supply their wants, together with the wealth they have drawn from the adjacent waters. They are now generally pro- vided with comfortable homes, and maintain a school in their midst, and two small churches. As before stated the first purchase from the Indians was made on December 13, 1610. Then the Quaquanantuck or Quogue pur- chase of which no record appears in the town records. Thirdly, 172 History of Southampton. Topping's purchase of land west of Qiiogue, effected April 10, 16G2, and finally a re-purchase of the whole town, August 16, 1703, the deeds of all which will be found in the appendix. The records at Albany* show that the settlers were not with- out apprehensions of violence from their dusky neighbors. July 10, 1675, Governor Andros writes to Governor Winthrop of Con- necticut of a rumor that there was a conspiracy among the Indians of the Atlantic coast, from New England to Delaware bay, to make war on the whites. But in September following he writes again that all the danger is passed. There were general instructions to the magistrates to disarm the Indians of Long Island and the main, land of all the guns they had. On page 133 of this same book. Governor Andros writes to Southampton that this was a false report, i. «., of the Indian war, the letter being dated September 8, 1675. The restlessness of the Indians in regard to the title of the town is illustrated still further in the abstract of an entry in the town records in 1686, as follows : " At a town meeting held in Southampton the 23d day of November, 1686, it is agreed upon by major vote of the town that Major John Howell shall go to New York about the present affair of making good our title to our lands called into question at Shinnecock, and Henry Lndlam is likewise chosen to wait upon him. " At the same meeting it is ordered that the patentees concerned in our patent shall make a conveyance of the land held within our township to the persons respectively according to the interest of allotment of hundred and fifties, or fifties when they hold in tliis town. " Also there are chosen six men to be a committee in behalf of the men to give Major Howell his instructions and also to attend Colonel Youngs when he comes to hear the Indians acknowledge our deed, and the men so chosen are Mr. Edward Howell, Henry Pierson, Matthew Howell, Thomas Cooper, Obadiah Eogers and Joseph Pierson." * MSS., State Library.

In 1648 Nowedanali was the chief of the Shinnecock tribe as appears in the deed of sale of the town land of East Hampton. January 22, 1670-71, Quaquashaiig having been elected their chief by the same tribe, was on that day confirmed to be the chief by Governor Francis Lovelace. The same day Cawbutt an Indian was appointed by the same authority constable of the Shinnecock tribe. (Albany Records.) Lease of Shinnecock to the Indians. In order to settle all disputes which had arisen concerning the title to the land of the town, and quiet the Indians in their ap- prehensions at the disappearance of their hunting grounds, as before stated, a convention of the whites and Indians was held at Southampton, August 16, 1703. In addition to the re-purchase of the town, the whites gave to the Indians the following lease of Shinnecock and the hills : " This indenture made between the Trustees of the common- alty of the Town of Southamptonin the County of Suffolk and province of New York on Island of Nassau on the one part and Pomguama, Chice, and Manaman and their people belonging to Shinnecock of the other part, witnesseth : That the said Trustees of the Town aforesaid, by and with one full consent and agree- ment for divers good causes them thereunto moving, and one ear of Indian corn annually to be paid to the Trustees of said Town, for. the time being, yearly, and every year, upon the first day of November, and for and upon the condition and proviso hereafter expressed, have demised, granted, and to farm letten, and by these presents do demise, grant, let, and let to farm unto the said Pomguama, Chi3e, Manaman, and their people abovesaid, all that their certain tract of land lying within the bounds of Southamp- ton aforesaid, called by the name of Shinnecock and Sebonac, bounded west by Canoe place, alias Niamug, and bounded south- ward by Shinnecock Bay, and eastward by a line running from the head of Shinnecock Creek to the north-west corner of James Cooper's Close, and from thence northwardly to the westward part of Jonathan Raynor' s land, at Sebonac old ground, and from 174 History of Southampton. thence on a direct line to a place called the warehouse by the North Bay, and on the north by the said Bay ; meadows, marshes, o-rass, herbage, feeding and pasturage, timber, stone, and conve- nient highways only excepted, with all and singular the privileges and advantages of plowing and planting, and timber for firing and fencing, and all other conveniences and benefits whatsoever, excepting what before is excepted to the only use and behoof of the said Indians, their heirs and successors, for one thousand years thence next ensuing the date hereof : Provided always the said Indians do not keep nor cause to be kept, any part or parcel of the said land within fence or enclosed from the last of October to the first of April, from year to year, during the whole term afore- said; and for the full confirmation hereof, the parties have inter-, changeably set their hands and seals in Southampton aforesaid,' this sixteenth of August, Anno Dom. 1703. " Signed, sealed, and delivered in the presence of Stephen Bouer, Arthur Davis, Benjamin Marshall, Thomas Stephens, Gersham Culver, John Maltby, Daniel Halsey, Hezekiah Howell, Abraham Howell, Jekamiah Scott ^oseph Fordham Josiali Howell, Joseph Howell, Trustees.'''' Immediately after the above lease is recorded in the town rec- ords the following : "We, the trustees ^vithin named, according to the town's former agreement with the said Indians of Shiunecock, do hereby grant liberty to them and theirs, to cut flags, bulrushes, and such grass as they usually make their mats and houses of, and to dig ground nuts, mowing lands excepted, anywhere in the bounds of the township of Southampton aforesaid, as witnesseth our hands and seals this 16th day of August, 1703.

Acknowledged same day before John Wheeler, Justice, The Indians. 175 Sale of Shinnecock Hills in 1861. Bj a special act of legislature, the Indians, in 1859, were em- jjowered to sell and did sell to the proprietors, all their rights to the Shinnecock hills which they possessed (or their children were to possess) by the above lease of 1703, in consideration of liaA^ing in themselves the fee of Shinnecock neck. On February 19, 1861, the liills were sold by the proprietors at public auction, for $6,250, and purchased by a company of Southampton people, chiefly for purposes of pasturage. In the advertisement for the sale occurs the following : " Situated in the central part of said Town, and extending from Pecouic Bay on the north, to Shinne- cock Bay on the south, and containing about 3200 acres. The Indian claim and interest in these lands have been recently extin- guished by agreement with the Indians, and by the consent and ratification of the Legislature of the State of New York, so that the title to the property is now undisputed and indisputable. A considerable portion of the land is of good quality, ready for the plough, and susceptible of being converted into fine farms. The remainder is well adapted to sheep and cattle grazing, to which the whole tract has been exclusively devoted for many years." This same tract was sold in 18SI to parties in Brooklyn who propose to use it as its delightful situation deserves it should be, as summer residences for city people. 176 History of Southampton. CHAPTER XI. EARLY CUSTOMS WHALING BURYING GROUNDS MISCELLA- NEOUS. Many of the customs and peculiarities of our forefathers have ah'eadj been noticed in various portions of this work, so that but little remains to say on this point. Like their friends in New England, it appears from the records, that they for a time aban- doned the use of the names of months and days as given in the calendar ; dating an event, e. g., on the Tth day of the week of the 4tli month, instead of Saturday, June -itli. This custom originated from conscientious scruples against tlie use of names of heathen origin. Pope Gregory XIII. in 15S2, observing that tlie vernal equinox occurred during the Council of Kice, A. D. 325, on the 21st of March, but happened on that year on the lOtli, by the advice of astronomers caused ten days to be thrown out of the current year between the 4:tli and loth of October. He further decreed that the year henceforth should consist of 365 days, 5 hours and -19 minutes and that every year exactly divisible by 100, excepting those divisible by -iOO, should not be considered a leap year. This alteration in the calendar was at once accepted in all Catholic countries, but it took longer time to introduce the change into England. In the year 1752, by act of Parliament,* eleven days were dropped between the 2d and 14th of September and the year was to begin on the first of January instead of on the 25th of March as had been the practice. This, the " new style," is now universal among all civilized nations except in Russia, where the " old style '■ still prevails. In reducing old to new style ten days should be added from 1500 to 1700, and eleven days from 1700 to 1752. Previous to 1752 any day in March was called the 1st, 10th or 30th (as the case might be) of t}\Q first month. But as a matter of fact, both in England and * See statute 34, Geo . H. . ch. 23 . Early Customs. 177 in her American colonies,, clerks were slow to adopt the change, and often obstinately persisted for half a century in following the old mode of reckoning. This hesitation caused the use so fre- quent in the old records of such dates as the following : January 16, 1734, or March 16, 164|-, in which the lower of the last two figures represents the year according to the present mode, and the upper one, the old style of reckoning. We often find in the early records following names of the days of the week, dies solis, dies lunce, dies Martis, dies Mercarii, dies Jovis^ dies Veneris and dies Saturnii, or sometimes dies Salhati. Although these are Roman names it must not be supposed they belong to the Augustan era. Neither Homer nor Virgil nor their countrymen of the classic age, Greek or Latin, knew of any division of time into weeks. This division was of divine origin and known and practiced by those wlio had the oracles of God and through them gradually was introduced into other nations, l^ot until the Roman empire, in the early part of the fourth century, came under the influence of Christianity, in the reign of Constantine, was the week known to the Romans. The French preserve these names yet in their language, while the Teutonic languages preserve the thing but not the precise name. We say Sunday because our Saxon ancestor said Sunnan-Daeg, and the Gennans, Sohntag. So also Sax, Monan-Daeg ; Ger., ATontag ; Eng., Monday. Sax., Tues-Daeg ; Ger., Dienstag ; Eng., Tues- day. Sax., Woden's or Woodnes Daeg ; Ger., Mittwoch or mid- week ; and Eng., Wednesday. Sax., Thorsdaegor Thunres daeg; Ger., Donnerstag ; Eng., Thursday. Sax, Friga's Daeg ; Ger., Freitag; Eng., Friday. Sax., Seater's Daeg; Ger., Sonnabend ; Eng., Saturday. Whence it may be seen that both Latin and Teuton have contributed each a share in our nomenclature. It may be added that the Roman names, dies solis, etc., crept in through tlie formal diction used in legal proceedings by the Nor- man conquerors and were continued long after they and their descendants learned and used the language of the conquered. The Sabbath was reckoned to begin at sunset of Saturday, and ended with sunsetting of Sunday. The autumnal thanksgiving, now customary through the coun- 23 178 HisTOKV OF Southampton, try, was kept in early tiuies here, as it was in New England, as we have before shown. And that occasional fast days were ob- served, we 'may infer from an anecdote of some old worthy long departed, who wished a certain fast on account of a long drought, might be deferred one day until he had gathered in some hay that was ready for the barn ! There was some faith at least in the efficacy of prayer. An interesting question is that of the food and appliances of the table of tlie colonists of the Puritan period. They raised on the farm Indian corn, wheat (both winter and summer varieties), oats, barley, beans and pease, but no potatoes. This esculent, now so com- mon, came into general use some time afterward, in the latter half of the eighteenth century. The waters abounded in fish, clams and oysters, though the shellfish seem to have been used but spar- ingly. jCows, oxen, goats and sheep were raised in considerable numbers, both for home consumption and for export. At a later period many horses w^ere shipped to the West Indies. Tea and coffee were unknown. * The first coffee house in England was kept by a Jew named Jacobs, in Oxford, 1650. One was opened in London 1652, and the Rainbow Coffee House, near Temple Bar, was in 1657 considered a nuisance to that locality, f In 1671 an Armenian set up a coffee house in Paris, but not meet- ing much encouragement removed to London. Coffee does not seem to have been knowm generally in western Europe previous to 1660, except to travelers in the Levant. In 1554 it was introduced into Constantinople from Arabia. It is uncertain when it began to be used in America. Wine, cider, beer and ale, home brewed, milk and water were the only drinks used by the settlers upon the table. Li Timb's Curiosities of Lon- don is the following : " The Earl of Arlington in the year 1666 brought from Holland for 60 shillings, the first pound of tea received in England." But a comment on this states that it was known in England as early as 1657. It is mentioned in an act of Parliament 1660. Pepys in his Diary, September 25, 1660, speaks of send- ing out for a " cup of tea (a China drink) of which I had never drunk before." * Notes and Queries, 4 ser., v. 1, p. 140. + Notes and Queries, 1st ser., v. 1, p. 28. Early Customs. 171^ Heavy farm work was done by oxen. The only vehicle in use for a long time was the two-wheeled ox-cart. Men and women traveled on horseback, and wlien the horse was wanting, on one occasion at least, a bovine was pressed into service. An inhabitant of North Sea in earl}- times rode on the back of his bull to New York to obtain from the colonial Governor a commission of jus- tice of the peace for himself. The bnll, it may be supposed, car- ried him safely and pranced in state to the Governor's gate post, since in due time a shout was heard in the town street of South- ampton announcing his return. Waving his commission above his head, as he sat on his horned steed, he said in a loud voice, " Now I'll make Southampton fear and all North Sea tremble ! " And yet, as legend hath told, man, bull and commission all failed to produce this effect on the inhabitants. The transmission of news was only by letter and the last comer. For twenty years after the settlement not a newspaper was yet in existence in the mother country, June 25, 1647. In an order on the affairs of the town, the word its is used, showing that this pronoun was in use more or less conunon, although it is not to be found in the Bible of King James — our present version. But the apostrophe is never employed with tlie possessive case of a noun, thougii the final " s " is so used. Fairs in Olden Time. In 1692 the Governor of the province together with the colo- nial legislature enacted a law for the establishment of fairs to be held on Long Island at stated intervals. In Kings county one fair annually was to be held at Flatbush from the second Tuesday of October to the following Friday, both days included. In Queens county two fairs a year were to be held, both at Jamaica, from the first Tuesday in May to the following Friday, and from the first Tuesday of October to the following Friday. In Suffolk two fairs were to be held annuallj', one at South- ampton from the first Tuesday of July to the following Friday, one at Southold from the first Tuesday of September to the fol- lowing Friday. 180 History of Southampton. These were not fairs for the exhibition of the products of the country such as we have in these days, but a reproduction here of the fairs of old England. It was the occasion for everybody to offer for sale whatever he wished to dispose of for money or by Avay of exchange. These fairs were frequented by peddlers on whom the ladies depended for articles of finery and light silk goods. The old English custom of having the Yule or Christmas log, was retained in some faniihes, at least, until old-fashioned wide :fire-places went out of vogue. This was an unusually large hickory back-log which was cut and selected for this purpose in the •woods, and took its place on Christmas morning, though it was not customary, as in England, to preserve the charred remains for lighting the next year's Christmas fire. Another singular custom prevailed which arose in England from the fact that the bakers there, when they came to supply their customers on Christmas morning, presented to the children little dough-boys fried as " dough-nuts." These dough children were to commemorate the anniversary of our Savior's birth. In course of time the customers took the hint and prepared these delicate sweets for their children themselves, and deposited them in the little stockings suspended in the chimney corner for the friendly visits of St. Nicholas. Whaling Squadron. From various scattered records, it appears that the number of whales that in a year drifted on the coast, have been considerable. How soon the settlers procured boats and tackle for capturing them on the ocean is not known. This was really the beginning of the enterprise of whale fishing (to use a common but incorrect term) which became in after years of such immense proportions in our country. In 1687* there were fourteen whaling companies of twelve men each in the town of Southampton who reported an estimate of the oil then in their possession, the result probably of the catch of one season.

April 15, 1687, East Hampton reports also 1,456 barrels oq hand. In 1711. on the 13th of April, the total amount of oil on hand in the towns of South and East Hampton was 252 barrels. But it is probable that the greater part of the oil of that season had then been shipped either to New York or London. The records show oU was sometimes shipped at that early day direct from Southampton to London. There are a few people in this country in favor of a monarch- ical form of government in place of our repubhc. To such it may be of interest to learn of one of the many thousand inven- tions crpowino' out of a monarchv and necessarv to its existence, for those in power to take to themselves under form of law the hard earned substance of the people. As appears in the State records at Albany Governor Robert Hunter in 1711 claimed and took one-half of the oil and bone of the whales captured by the companies in Southampton licensed by himself. The same year to Richard ^ood was granted the sole privilege of claiming the chance whales stranded on the beach, the governor reserving to himseK as before one-half of the bone and oil. This burden was only removed by the personal application of Samuel Mulford of East Hampton, as agent for East and Southampton, to the ParHa- ment of Great Britain, as a high court of judicature, in 1715. This business is still followed, as an episode, however, to the daily employment in agricultural pursuits and a few whales are generally taken every year dui-ing the winter or early spring, but 1S2 History of Southampton. no royal governor now takes half by way of toll to support his dignity. Considerable attention was also given at an early period, even extending well into the eighteenth century, to catching seals, both along the coast and in more distant regions, where they were found. Denton (History of New York) says a great multitude of seals wintered on Long Island, lying on the meadow bottoms and sand bars near the salt waters. A few were seen and captured there about 1871. The following lists are given, copied from the town records : " March 7, 1641.

On October 31, 1816, a Spanish brig came ashore with a a part of her sails standing a little to the westward Eaelt Customs. 105 of the village. She had been abandoned by her crew, a part or all of whom came a.shore in her boats to some place west of South- ampton. From papers found aboard, it was supposed that she was captured by a Carthaginian privateer. Her lockers had been torn up and searched, several barrels of coffee and provisions were found on board of her, and a number of masks. She was much damaged, and was wrecked, i. e.. taken to pieces slowly by the inhabitants. In the month of December following, her sid- ing began to be broken off by the waves, and a stream of Spanish dollars poured out into the sand. For a time mining in this novel region was as lively and as profitable as the later operations in California. The vessel was supposed by some to have \teen a pirate, and that the specie taken from plundered vessels had been hidden (unknown to the crew) in the ceiling bj' the captain, who had been made way with in a mutiny. Now and then a "sand dollar" is still picked up in the vicinity. Paemexas Howell, Paixtee. He was one of nine children of Capt. Ezekiel Howell, and was born March 24, 1784. Ha%-ing shown considerable talent in drawing while yet a youth, he was sent to New York to receive the advantages of instruction in the studio. Here he remained some time profitably employed in the study of his arts, his proficiency exciting hopes of a brilliant career. Returning to Southampton, however, at an early age, he fell a victim to consumption — a dis- ea.se which swept off the whole family of children as they suc- cessively reached maturity. Daxiel Halsey. Mr. Daniel Halsey was bom on the old homestead of hLs fathers in Wickapogue, April 1, 1796. He received a good school edu- cation, and pursued the study of Latin and Greek languages under his pastor. Rev. Da\-id Bogart, in which he made very respectable attainments. He was much employed a.s a teacher, and with success and acceptance to scholar and parent. That some of the old poetic fire dwelt in him, the following spirited lyric will testify, written for the occasion of celebrating our coun- try's birthday, July 4, 1831 : 196 HiSTOKY OF Southampton.

As by magic, of freemen redeemed from their foes, Redeemed from the hand of oppres.sion and wrong, To the rights which by nature to all men belong. Here freedom and science and virtue expand, And plenty and peace are their constant attendants. Whilst the Genius of Liberty smiles on the land Of her choice, with a glorious and godlike resplendence. It was here she designed The oppressed of mankind. And the exile a home and a refuge should find ; With laws mild and equal her subjects are blest, And under her banner the lowly find rest. Let the wanderer then to her standard repair.

While the worlds in tlieir orbits revolve round the sun. Though the despots of Europe still rivet the chains, On the necks of their vassals and crush them to dust, Shall not heaven forbid that America's plains With the foot of a tyrant should e'er be accursed? Be her freedom the same Till the angel proclaim. Time ends, and the world is enveloped in flames. And the empires of earth in one ruin are hurled At the great and the last winding up of the world.

(The same abbreviations used in this as in the pi-eceding chapter. The figures prefixed to the names serve only to identify them wherever found. In very many instances it lias been found impossible to obtain the names of all the children of a man who, in a deed of gift [per- haps the only information on record concerning his family], merely mentions the name of the grantee . ) At this distance of time it cannot be hoped to construct com- plete family records from the fragmentary and indirect facts pre- served in the records of the town ; and yet mucli has been accom- plished from this source. In some instances the author has received vahiable assistance in his labor from members of families now living. Nearly all such persons consulted could contribute their family record for two or three generations back, but earlier than that but few could give any reliable information. The old family records, if any were kept, have mostly perished in the lapse of ages, and it became necessary to collate and com- pare individual facts and statements without number, spread over hundreds of pages of manuscript, before what has been given could be ascertained with certainty. It has frequently happened that while the relationship of father and son is clearly established from records, yet the date of birth can nowhere be found. In some cases the date of birth can only be determined proximately from tombstone inscriptions. The genealogies would have been fuller if letters of inquiry had been answered.

None ai'e given in this work, however, unless there is evidence that these particular families are by descent entitled to use them. This evidence is from seals, old pictm-es of ai*ms on parchment, gravestones, or from establishing connection with an English family using the arms at the time of the settlement. Doubtless if the families here could be identified and located in England many more would be found entitled to coat armor. When it is said that Burke mentions in his General Armory coats of arms of different families, it is to be understood that all these are there described in detail. Barxes Family. The name of William Barnes, planter, first occurs in 1644. In 1652 he sells his homestead at the ''north end" to James Hamp- ton of Salem, and apparently removes from the town. The same year also a Richard B., living next to Joshua, and probably his brother, also sells his homestead and disappears, Joshua is first mentioned in 1649 when the town pays him money for his boat hire. 1 William' then probably had children 2 Joshua* and 3 Eichard-. 2 Joshua- had w. Prudence and ch. 4 SamueP and 5 Willianr. 4 SamueP m. Patience Williams Nov. 9, 1676, and had ch. 6 Patience* b. Aug. 31, 1677, 7 Temperance' b, Jan. 16, 1679, and 8 Joshua* b. Apr. 8, 1683. 5 William^ lived in Sagg. In 1683 he bought land of his father, and in 1684 or 5 he removed to the town and county of West- chester, New York. The homestead of 1 William Barnes was the lot now belonffinsf to Albert J. Post north of his house and south of the homestead of William S. Pelletreau. The homestead of Joshua Barnes was that now owned by William S. Pelletreau, Genealogies. 203 The family of this name in E. H. do not appear to be con- nected with the Barnes's of Southampton. Bishop Family. The first of this name in Southampton was John Bishop who is first mentioned on record Xov. 'i, 1652, where he had a house lot of three acres granted him by the town, next north of the home lot of Joshua Barnes. The homestead of John Bishop was the late residence of Jonathan Fithian, Esq. This grant of a house lot only signifies that he was not a farmer. 1 Eichard Bishop^ of Salem, Massachusetts, freeman May 18, 16-1:2, residing there as early as 1635, d. Dec. .30, 1674, had w. Dulsabell who d. Aug. 23, 1658 ; he mar. again, Mary wid. of Wil- liam Gott, July 23, 1660. He had ch. 2 Thomas-, 3 John- and 4 Nathaniel-, the latter of whom may have come to E.

In 1817 George Bowden came here from England after a tem- pestuous voyage of one hundred and ten days duration. He married first Hannah Jagger, by whom he had two children, Edward and Lewis, the former of whom removed to Brooklyn. Lewis m. Helen Davidson of Ann Arbor, Michigan, and had ch. Harriet and Livingston. Mr. George Bowden m. 2d w. wid. Hannah Tuthill. 206 History of Southampton. Burnett Family. Thomas Burnett, the first of this name in Southampton, had a lot granted him October 13, 1643. He probably came here not long before this time. Savage mentions him as a resident of Lynn, Massa- chusetts, though Lewis and Newhall make no mention of him. ]^o record of his emigration has been found to show from what county in England he came. The record of the branch in New Jersey has been furnished by Mr. John R. Burnett of South Orange, New Jersey. 1 Thomas' d. about 1684 had first w. Mary and second w.

(according to Thompson's History of Long Island) at Bottle Hill, New Jersey, in 1747, graduated at Princeton, in 1769, and was settled in Jamaica as pastor of the Presbyterian church, where (says Thompson) he continued highly respected and useful till 1785, when he removed to Norwalk, Connecticut, and took charge of the Congregational church there and died in 1800. He had 1st w. Ann who d. July 7, 1789 ; married 2d wife Fanny d. of Rev. Azel Roe of "Woodbridge, New Jersey, June 30, 1792. Had ch. James b. on Long Island Jan. 1, 1779, John Dec. 10, 1781, and Ann b, in Norwalk April 11, 1786. Whether he had any more ch.

I have a copy of a bookplate of John Burnet, attorney of Xew York previous to 1793, which contains a coat of arms, as follows : Argent : Three holly leaves in chief proper, and a hunting horn in base, sable garnished gules. Crest : A hand issuing out of a cloud about to prune a vine fruited, all proper. Motto : Virescit vidnere virtus. Butler FA^nLT. The name of Samuel Butler first appears on the list of 1698. He was a merchant and lived on the former residence of Mr. Josiah Foster. In 1704 he wills to w. Sarah and ch. Martha, Sarah, Amy, w. of Zubulon Howell. i[ary, Xathaniel and James. Samuel bought house and lot of Walter Melvine in 1697, the present home of Josiah Foster.

The name has been extinct in the town for many years. See Chapter XII. Chatfield Family. Thomas Chatfield, the first of this name on Long Island, came to E, H. quite early. He had a brother Francis who settled in Guil- ford, Cc, and another brother George, who settled in Killingworth. Thomas removed from Guilford to New Haven, where he married Ann d. of Rev. Francis Higginson, and thence to E. H. Mr. John Chatfield of B. H. has an old parchment having thereon a picture of the arms of the family, probably brought to this country by his ancestor Thomas Chatfield above mentioned. The description of these "^"^ , .,- y ^ / / arms in heraldic language is : Or, a griflfin segreant sable, on a chief purpure three escal- lops argent.

Motto with coat of arms : Che sara sara. Clakk Family. This family has had no representatives in Southampton for gen- erations, having disappeared by death and removal. The name of Samuel Clark first appears on a jury list of 1654 and again on the list of 1657. Two of the name appear in the second generation, possibly brothers, as two in the same family were not unfrequently given the same name at that period — but more likely cousins. 1 Samuel' (of the list of 1657) had w. Susanna and d. between May and July, 1679, and willed to ch. 2 SamaeP, 3 -Edmund'-, 4 Sarah'-, 5 Susanna^ 6 Mary'^, 7 Martha^ and 8 Hannah. '- 2 SamueP of North Sea had w. Sarah and d. Mcli. 1, 1699. He left as by will ch. 9 Samuel^ 10 Eliphalet% 11 Elisha^ 12 Susanna^ 13 EacheP, 14 Mary^ 15 John^ and 16 Esther^ the last four being then under age. 9 SamueP had ch. as by his will 17 SamueP, 18 Job^ 19 Phebe-* w. of Eose, 20 Matthew^ 21 Mary^ w. of Thomas (?) Lup- ton and 22 Nathan. 17 Samuel had probably a son 23 Elisha% as in 1771 an Elisha is mentioned in record as the son of Samuel C. The other Samuel of age to belong to the second generation may be marked as 24 Samuel'^ He lived at Old Town, m, 1st Esther or Hester White July 11, 1678, and 2d Hannah , and had ch. 25 James* b.

Another family of this name appears in the second generation in the person of Kichard Clark, whom we designate as 35 Richardl He had a son 36 Eichard* who moved to Elizabeth, N. J., b. about 1661. 36 Richard^ had ch. 37 Richard^ 38 John', 39 SamueP, 40 Joshua*, 41 Ephraim^, 4"3 Thomas* and 43 Benjamin*. 42 Thomas* had son who had s. 44 Abraham'^ who was one of the signers of the declaration of independence, as a representa- tive of New Jersey. Cook Family. 1 Ellis' Cook was one of the early settlers, his name appearing on the list of 1644. In 1663 he made his will, having w. Martha d. of John Cooper of Southampton and ch. 2 John^, 3 Ellis^ 4 Martha'*, 5 Elizabeth'^ and 6 Mary-. His youngest son 7 AbiaP or Abiel was born soon after his death. 1 Ellis' lived on the residence of the late George Herrick. While retaining this homestead he removed to and resided at Mecox as early as 1659 and after his death (which occurred as I suppose about 1663), in 1690 his widow and son Abial unite in exchanging the Southanlj^ton homestead for one in Mill Neck (as Watermill was then called) belonging to Thomas Stephens, who had m. 5 Elizabeth- Oct. 20, 1675. 2 John^ b, about 1656 d. 1719 had w.

On one occasion some British troops appeared at his house and commanded him to yoke up his oxen and draw a boat over from the Pecouic to Shinnecock Bay. He did so — got the boat and started with a British guard in the rear. On the journey across, evening came on, and Wakeman took advantage of the darkness and played the guard a Yankee trick. All the time crying whoa! at the top of his voice, he began to brad up the oxen with his goad until they ran at their utmost speed. The British, thinking from his cries the oxen would soon stop, did not attempt to overtake him, and, as soon as he was beyond their hearing, he turned the cattle into the brush, and that was the last they ever saw of their boat.

Bac the name is French and doubtless the English family sprang from a French ancestor, either Huguenot or royalist, both of whom emigrated to England in the troublous times in France. Fowler Familt. Dec. 10, 1678, a house lot of ten acres of land was granted by the proprietors of the town to Christopher Fowler on condition of his remaining here seven years. Tais was the ordinary method for the young colony to make desirable additions to itself. The town records make mention of his death on March 24, 16S3, that is, of 168f, because the rate list of Sepcember, 1633. contains the name of Widow Fowler. The rate list of 1694 contains the name of Eichard Fowler, but not the name of the Widow Fowler. We infer, therefore, that Richard was his son.

The following genealogy of this family is taken from a paper in the New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, vol. 2, pp. 131-138, contributed by Benjamin W. Dwight, of Clinton, N. Y. : Rev. Samuel Gelston and Judge Hugh Gelston, brothers, emi- grated from Belfast, Ireland, and settled in Southampton. An account is given elsewhere of Rev. Samuel. Some of the descend- ants of Hugh fled to Connecticut during the occupation of Long Island by the British in the revolutionary war, and there remained. 1 Hugh Gelston^ b. in Belfast, 1697, was a merchant in South- ampton, where he came in 1717, or not long previous to this date.

The first appearance of this name is that of Joseph Goodale, on the rate list of 1694.

There is scarcely any doubt at the present time but that this family is descended from the Halseys of Great Gaddesdeu iu Hert- fordshire, Euglaud. Cussan, in his history of that county, mentions a Thomas Halsey who was baptized Jan. 2, 1592, who was a mercer in London ; living iu Xaples in 1621, and afterward, it is believed, an emigrant to America. The first mention of this family found by Cussan was of a Eichard Halsey of Great Gaddesden in 1458. In 1559, when the parish registers commence, there were four families of this Coat of Arms. name in that place : Halsey of the Parson- age ; Halsey of the Wood ; Halsey of Northend and Halsey of the Lane. The descent to Thomas Halsey, the Southampton settler, is as follows : John Halsey of the Parsonage, living in 1512, had s. William, who d. iu 1516, and who had w. Alice, who d. 1557, and ch. Kobert, William, Thomas, Harry, Isabel, Jane and Elizabeth. William, the second son of William, d. May, 1596, had w. Anne and ch. John, William, Robert, Ealph, Edward, Thomas, Triamore, Philip, Joan and Anne. Robert, the third son of the second William Halsey, died Oct. 1618, and m. Dorothy, d. of Wm. Downes of Linslade, Co. of Bucks. She d. Sept. 1620. They had ch. William bap. June 23, 1690, Thomas bap. Jan. 2, 1594-, Buncombe, James, Edward, Jane, Joane, Mary, Amy, Ann, Avis, Hester, Sara and Dorothy. Thomas, the second son of Robert, is the one identified as the Southampton emigrant. The arms of this family are said by Cussan to have been granted to William Halsey, the elder brother of Thomas of Southampton, in 1633, and are as follows : Argent, on a pile sable, three griflBn's heads erased of the first. Crest : A cubit arm gules, cuff argent, hand proper, holding a griffin's leg erased or. Genealogies. 263 Motto : Sescit vox missa reverti* It may be remarked here that no arms are pictured in this work but such as are known to belong to the families with which they are given by indisputable evidence, and have not been selected from Burke nor obtained from any American herald. This family, like many others of Southampton, was of high social position in the mother country. One of its representatives in England is now in Parliament. 1 Thomas' d. Aug. 27, 1678. His first wife was murdered by the Indians ; either by some from New England who wished to excite a war in the Southampton settlement, or by some in Long Island at their instigation. He married for his second wife Ann, the wid. of Edward Johues, July 25, 1660. In 1648, when the site of the village was changed from Old Town street to the present main street, Thomas Halsey's residence was south of the present homestead of Francis W. Cook. He had ch. 2 Thomas^, 3 Isaac^ 4 DanieP and 5 Elizabeth- w. of Eichard Howell. His property, by inventory, after his death, amounted to £672 9s. 2d. ^ 0^^ 2 Thomas^ made his will Aug. 3, 1688, and his property amounted to £248 15s. He had w. Mary and ch. 6 Mary^ b.

His wife died in 1778, leaving him four small children. He returned by permission of Gen. Erskine to his home, dilapidated by the British, in South- ampton, in 1779, and was subsequently sherilf of Suffolk county, and held other oflBces till 1793. In that year he removed to the town of Ovid (now Lodi). "Was member of assembly eight years, from Seneca county ; member of Congress during the administra- tion of Jefiferson and afterward State senator, and for forty years held offices of trust and responsibility. He died Nov. 19, 1833. 309 Judge Hugh' Halsey was a graduate of Yale College and an tipright lawyer and judge of Suffolk county. He held also the offices of surrogate, assemblyman.

He was a man of sterling ■worth and honored rather than was honored by the offices bestowed upon him by the people. 27 Philip'' Halsey was in the army of the revolution and was a member of the last company which evacuated Xew York city in the memorable retreat of the American army on Long Island. He was soon after discharged at White Plains and returned home. Hear- ing that a company of British dragoons were billeted in the village of Southampton near his father's home, he with some companions crossed the island to Oyster Pond Pt. and took a boat across the sound in the night, entered the Connecticut river and pushed on to Windsor. Here he remained and married Esther, d. of Elisba Moore, and died in 1846.

George Harris, the first of this family in Southampton, is first mentioned in the list of 1657 with tlie residents of North Sea. In April, 1635, George Harris, aged 17, takes passage in the Falcon of London for the Barbadoes. As communication between New Eng- land and these islands was frequent in those days, this emigrant might have been the one who subsequently is found in Southampton. Dec. 6, 1683, 1 George' wills to ch. 2 George'-, 3 Henry', 4 Mary'', 5 Elizabeth' and 6 Jane". One of these daughters was recorded as having been born Apr. 6, 1670, but is not named on the record. The inventory of his estate amounted to £139 18s. Od. 2 George', I conjecture, was born about 1660 and prob. d. in 1753, as his will was proved in that year and dated Sept. 17, 1748. In the census of 1698 the names of George Harris and George Harris, Jr., and Sarah and Eunice are found with the residents of North Sea. His will mentions as his ch. only Eunice and Henry, and we infer, therefore, that George, his son, died young without issue. We, therefore, conclude that 2 George' had w. Sarah and ch. 7 George'*, 8 Eunice* and 9 Henry.* The will of 2 George' mentions a grandd., Abijail Gess, and we may infer that 8 Eunice^ m. a Gess. 9 Henry*, not in list of 1698 and born perhaps in 1699, is known to have the following named ch. from his will, dated in 1769 and recorded in Dec. 1781 : 9 Henry* had w.

(Births taken from census and proximately correct.) O^i ELlSTOKY Of ISOUTIIAMI'IOX. 3 Henry- b. I conjecture, about 1CG3, probiibly moved away, as he is not on the census of 1G98. In the census of 1698 occurs the names of Lenard Harris, associ- ated with Mary Harris, and Mary Harris, Jr., residing in Bridge- hampton. I know not their connection with this family. A Henry Harris is among the first settlers of Elizabeth, N. J., in 1665, but he could not be related to this family unless he was a brother or cousin of 1 George.' Thirty-four families of this name are mentioned in Burke's G-en. Armory as having coats of arms. Hayxes or Haines Family. James Haines, or Hinds, as it was often written, came from Euoland to Salem, Mass., as early as 1637, where he was made a freeman. He married in 1638 and removed to Southold a few years after its settlement, and died there Mch. 165|, and his widow Mary married Ralph Dayton in June, 1656. Ealph Dayton lived first in Southampton, then in East Hampton, then a few years in South- old and again in East Hamptou, where he died. In 1655 the inventory of estate of James Haines in Southold amounted to £133 5s. -Id. 1 James' had w.

Armory and twelve families of the name of Haynes as having coat armor. Hedges Family. The ancestor of the Hedges families in Southampton and East Hampton was William Hedges, and when we have said this we have said all that is known of him, except that like his neighbors he was an Englishman and a Puritan. Like others of the time he was, perhaps, obliged to leave his native shores without permission of royal authority, as they looked with no favor on the departure of substantial citizens from the kingdom. New England was never a penal colony. His name has never been found on any lists of pas- sengers to America hitherto published. He came at first to South- ampton, where he resided for a short period, and when in 1649 the colony to settle another town to the eastward was projected, he was one of the first to join it. He is on the list of inhabitants of Southampton in 1644. This is the earliest record known of his appearance in America at the date of this writing in 1886. 1 William' d. in 1674 leaving, as by his will, w. Rose and ch. 2 Stephen^ b.

Note. — By an oversight I have carried out the descendants of the two younger sons of 3 Stephen^ before those of the oldest son 6 Johns. But it is too late to correct this and after all does not affect the true story of the genealogy. 288 History of Southampton. 4 DanieP of Sagg b. 1677, d. 1734, m.

HzBRicK Family. This family is without question de- scended from the Herricks of Leicester- shire in England, as the crest of that family is engraved on the tombstone of William Herrick, the son of James Herrick, the first of the name in South- ampton. This is said because at the time ot the death ot William Hernck men in this country had not begun to use arms, as they did at a later period and do now, to which they are not en- titled. From the Genealogical Register of the Herrick family, issued by Jede- 294 History of Southampton. diah Herrick in 1846, we learn that '' in the year 1598 was granted, from the Herald's office, unto Robert and William Herick, the sonnos of John Herick, the sonne of Thomas Herick alias Erick of Houghton, in the countie of Leicester, gentleman, and their posteritie forever, a certeyne crest or badge, namelie : on a wreathe of their couloures a bull's head argent, yssuing forthe of a laurell garland.

James Herrick came to Southampton in 1653 probably a young man and unmarried, and, it is conjectured, was the brother of Henry Herrick, who settled a little earlier in Salem, Mass. He soon married Martlia, d. of Thomas Topping, who gave the young people a homestead carved out of his larger homestead, embracing now the residences and home lots of James H. Foster and Henry Post, the latter being the one given to James Herrick. 1 James' d. in 1687 and had w.

Thomas Hildreth was the progenitor of the Long Island family, and must have been born in England, as no connection can be dis- covered with any of the name in New England. He is first men- tioned in the Southampton records in 1643, and might have come a little earlier. One of his descendants, Dr. Shadrach, was a sur- geon in the American army of the revolution, and died in the service. 1 Thomas' d. 1657, had w. Hannah (who after death of Thomas m.

Howell Family. Edward Howell of Marsh Gibbon, Buckinghamshire, England, was the ancestor of this family of Southamp- ton. A Eichard Howell came to Southold with his mother, a widow, it is said by Eev. William Hallock, D. D., late of New York, who married Peter Hallock, the ancestor of the Long Island family of Hallocks. No relationship is known to exist between these two pio- neers. Edward Howell dis- posed of considerable estates in Bucks county in 1639, among which was the manor of Westbury in Marsh Gibbon, purchased by his grandfather, William Howell, in 1536. The old stone manor house is still standing, though the remains of an old foundation near it show that some portions of it have been taken down. It is of two full stories and what is called a double house, now nearly covered with ivy. Edward Howell came in 1639 with his family to Boston, where he was made freeman, March 14, 1639-40. He soon removed to Lynn, where he had a grant of 500 acres. During the winter of 1639-40 a new settlement was projected on Long Island, of which he seems to have been the leader, as the compact or agreement of terms of founding the plantation is in his hand- writing, as well as the laws adopted by the first settlers, and to the last year of his life he was always a magistrate and member of the colonial legislature at Hartford. The manner in which his name is mentioned in the colonial records of New England and New York point to the same conclusion. The arms of this family, as found on an old family seal now in possession of one of the descendants and on several old tombstones of the seventeenth century in Southampton, are as follows : Gules, three towers triple-towered, argent. Gexealogees. 301 Crest used by] some branches. Out of a ducal crown or. a rose arsrent stalked and leaved rert, between two winsrs, indorsed of the last. Motto : Tiiicx propositi. William Howell of Wedon, in county of Bucks, m. 1st Maude, who died and left ch.. John the elder and John the vounsrer. William m. 2d Anne Hampton and had s. Henry. He had besides, but by which wife I cannot say. ch. Jacob and Bachel, w. of Be v. Thomas Willis, and Isabel, Jane, CecU, Agnes, Anne, Joane and Alice. His will of date Xov. 30, 1557, directs his body "to be buried in the parish church of Wingrave, in the chancel before the high altar." Gives legacies to the poor of Aylesbury, the poor of Whitechurch and the poor of Marsh. Gives his wife Anne his lands in Watton and Hamme for her life, and at her decease they are to go to Henry. Gives his eldest son John his lands in Marsh Gibbon and in default of issue to his son Henry, and in default of issue to son Jacob. To each of his daughters £20 and a legacy for bells for the Hardwick church. He d. in 1557 and John the eldest son inheri- ted the manor, and himself died without issue 15T6. From the parish register of Marsh Gibbon the following extract is taken : Henry Howell, Gent., was buried ye twenty day of July, 1625. Edward Howell was baptized the 22d of July, 15S4. Francis Howell, wife of Edward Howell, G^nt. ; buried 2d of July, 1630. 1 Edward', the son of Henry Howell, had 1st w. Frances and ch. 2 Henry* bap.

Herrick, nearly opposite the present residence of Capt. James M. Herrick, and had the two adjoining house lots to the north, his front extending to Job's lane, as he had purchased 302 History of Southampton, three shares in the corporation of the settlement. This house was taken down about twenty-five years ago by Capt. Philetus Pierson, who purchased the homestead. His three shares entitled him to over 3,000 acres within the boundaries of the town. 4 Major Johu^ d. Nov. 3, 1G96, had w. Susannah and ch. 10 John^ b. Nov. 28, 1648, 11 Edward^ b.

Matthew^ was a representative for Suffolk Co. in the Colonial Legislature in 1691, 1692, and from 1694 to 1706 inclusive, April 17, 1701, he was honored with an expulsion from that body by the Governor, for presenting a paper considered "disloyal to his Majesty, and disaffected to his government,'' a paper, however, which Ave should now regard simply as breathing only the senti- ments of a larger liberty than that vouchsafed to the colonists at that day. Col. Henry Pierson, also a member of the same Assem- bly, and three others were rebuked for signing it, among who was Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, then the head of the distinguished family of that name in Albany. Col. Howell was, to the credit of his constituents, promptly re-elected, and sent back to the same As- sembly, and remained throughout all his term of office an able de- fender of the rights of the colonists. After his death at Newtown on his way home, his body was taken to Southampton and buried in the Southend burying-ground, where a massive tombstone, re- maining to this day, and bearing the family arms, marks his last earthly resting-jDlace. 12 Matthew^ b.

Note.— The reasons for changing the record of this family from that given in the first edition are as follows, as derived from testimony of wills read since the former puljlioation . 1st.

Abigail and Phebe, botli under 18 years of age; and mentions '"my two uncles Hezekiah and Josiah,"" plainly placing him in the family of Richard Howelf. 2d.

By an oversight I have given the descendents of 335 Hezekiah^ and 339 DanieP a little out of order; those of 334 Josiah^ should have preceded, and those of 339 DanieF should have followed those of 337 Obadiah.

The record of the descendants of 679 LemueP was given me by Addison M. Cook, Esq., of Bridge Hampton. But there may be an error iu it as (if my abstract of the will of this Lemuel is cor- rect) he died leaving children, David, Lemuel and Sarah. If this is correct then Lemuel, the son of 679 LemueP, may have had ch., David and Henry, as given above, and in that case 727 Sarah^ should be omitted. The ages of the generations are such that either theory is possible. The line is correct anyhow. 9 Edmund^, the youngest son of 1 Edward' was allowed by his eldest brother John the homestead and after occupying it till about 1698 sold it and moved to Cape May County, New Jersey. He was b. about 1635, d. 1706 in New Jersey, and being called on the town record the son-in-law of Thomas Sayre in a deed in which he and Thomas Sayre each give one half of the land needed for a new street, now called Job's lane or Academy lane, must have married a d. of this Thomas Sayre. She died no great length of time after the marriage and appears to have left no ch. He m. Oct. 11, 1664, Sarah, d. of Joseph Judson of Statford, Conn., and had ch. 738 Elizabeth' b. Oct. 10, 1669, 739 Sarah' d. Apr. 10, 1685 and 740 Edmund.' His w. Sarah d. Aug. 29, 1688. I have been unable to trace his descendants, if he had any in New Jersey. In Hatfield's History of Elizabeth, N, J., it is stated that the second w. of 5 Edward-,Mary was a twin sister of Hannah, daughters of Rich- ard Bryan of Milford, Ct. Hannah m. Rev. John Harriman, who preached in Southampton in the latter part of 1674, and was settled there Apr. 12, 1675, and remained till the early part of 1676. Mary when m. to Edward Howell was the widow of John Maltby of New Haven, and by him had ch. John and Mary Maltby. John Maltby the elder was lost at sea in 1676. His d. m. Rev.

It is said by Rev. William Hallock, D. D., formerly secretary of the American Tract Society in New York that his ancestor Peter Hallock after settling in Southold went to England, married there a widow Howell, and returned with her and her son Richard, then a lad, to the colonies. This 1 Richard' d; Nov. 9, 1709, had w.

As Mr. Moore is a careful and in- defatigable worker in local history and genealogies this is to be relied on, and is certainly a good basis for subsequent geneal- ogists to make connection. The following genealogies are of families descended from the Southold Howells and the record was gathered as opportunity was af- forded. A John Howell b. about 1718 of Middle Island, a village about one mile from the old Yaphank station in the L. I. R. E. whom we will call 34 John' had cb. 35 Hannah'*, 3G Jonathan* b. about 1756 and 37 Johu^ b. 1760. 36 Jonathan* had ch. 38 Davis', 39 Norton^ and two daughters. 37 John* had w.

Y., had ch. 92 Cad*, 93 Albert^ 94 Ooe" and 95 Peter.* HuNTTiNG Family. This family is descended from elder John Hnntting, who resided in the east of England, probably in the county of Norfolk. He had a brother who was a dissenting minister, preaching in that and the adjoining county of Suffolk as he found employment in those troublous times for dissenters. John Huntting came to this coun- try in August, 1638, and when the Eev. John Allen was ordained minister of the gospel in Dedham, Mass., John Huntting was at the same time ordained a ruling elder of the church. It has been thought by some that the family have no coat of arms. But in Bloomlield's History of Norfolk, vol. 5, page 460, is a record among other monuments in the village church of Trowse- with-Newton, of a coat of arms borne by the Hunton family, differ- ing from that of the Huntons of East Knoyle, county of Wilts, just enough to make it highly probable that the two families are con- nected. As to the spelling of the name, that was a matter of indifference in those days. The wits of Charles II amused them- selves in signing their names in as varied forms as their ingenuity could devise. The name Sayre is spelled in three or four different ways in the same legal document of date in the 17th century. Huntting and Hunton are doubtless the same name. The arms of the East Knoyle family are : Argent, on a chevron per pale guies and azure, between three talbots (or hunting dogs) passant sable, as many stags heads cabossed or. Crest: A demi-talbot gules collared and eared or, holding between the paws a stag's head cabossed of the last. Gexealogies. 3'2'd The arms on the Norfolk monument are : Sable, a chevron ermine between three talbots passant argent. This agrees perfectly with the arms as pictured and in possession of Mr. William Hedges of East Hampton, and which are, if I remember correctly, of quite ancient date. The presumption is that the Hunttings of Long Island and the Huntons of Trowse are the same family. The two inscriptions given by Bloomfield are as follows: '• Hannah the dearly beloved wife of John Huuton died 9 Dec. nor." '•'Hie jacet Johannes Hunton Generosus* ob. 28 Maij. A.

Burke's Gen. Armory mentions eighteen families of this name as using coat armor. 332 History of Southampton. Jessup Family. This family is thought by a writer iu the New Eng. Hist, and Gen. Register, vol. 10, p. 358, to be of the family of Jessops of Bromehall, in Yorkshire. The name is variously spelled on the records in this country. .,If_tliis_is reallj the home of the Long Islajad family, their arms, granted July 13, 1575, would be : Barry of six argent and azure, on the first nine mullets gules, three, three and three. John Jessup, the ancestor of the Southampton family, is said by a descendant, Mr. John Jessup Howell, to have come to Massachu- setts in 1620, but I find no earlier trace of him than 1637, when he was in Hartford; then, before 1640, of Wethersfield, from which he was one of the first settlers of Stamford in 1610, and thence, as early as 1649, of Southampton. 1 John^ had ch. 2 Jolin^, 3 Thomas', 4 Hannah'^, who m.

According to Mr. Edward E. Johnes of Xew York, Edward Johnes came to this county in 1630, sailing from Yarmouth, England, in 1629. In 1635 his father Eichard Johnes of Binder in Somerset with his wife Alice, followed, and settled in Charlestown, Mass. Mr. E. E. Johnes be- lieves the family, from some evidence he has seen, to be a younger branch of the Johnes family of Dolancothy in Carmar- thenshire, and to have the following coat of arms, the crest of which was on silver, owned by Timothy Jones, D. D., one of the descendants of Edward, in the last century: *Azure, a lion ram- pant between three crosses formee fitchee or, a chief of the last. Crest : A lion rampant or, supporting an anchor azure, fluke of the last. Motto : Vhice malum bono. The first three generations uniformly spelled the name Johnes, which form some of the descendants still retain, while others have dropped the third letter altogether. 1 Edward' d. between 1653 and 1657, had w.

I cannot tell which form is correct, as I have been unable to ascertain the family connection in England. William Ludlam, the first of the name, is not on the list of townsmen in May, 1649, but his sons are on that of 1657. There is no trace of him in the Xew England records. He came from Matlock, a village in Derbyshire, Eng. 1 William' d. 1665 in Southampton, had w.

This family has for some time disappeared from Southampton, though until recently, and perhaps still, there have been some of the name in Bridgehampton. Christopher Lupton came here in IGo-t. In 1681 he (or his son Christopher) bought mill privileges of Samuel Clark in Xorth Sea. The inventory of his estate at his death was £69 Us. Od. 1 Christopher* wills in 1686 to w.

Mitchell Family. This family resided in Bridgehampton, though none of the name now live there. A Mr. Mitchell is said on the records to have sold some land in 1649 or 1650 to Joseph Hildreth. But the name is not on the tax list of 1683, and no further mention is found until in Genealogies. 343 1686 John Mitchell of E. H. buys twenty acres in Mecos from Mary, wid. of Samiiel Mills, late deceased. John belongs to none of the families of this name mentioned iu Farmer's and Savage's works, unless he was a son of Matthew, who came to Charlestown 1635 ; tiien to Hempstead with Eev.

Burke's Gen. Armory describes coats of arms used by eighteen English families of this name. Parker Family. One family of this name living in Bridgeliampton is descended from 1 Jeremiah P., who came here from Wales. He had s. Jere- miah, who had ch. 2 Matilda, w. of E. Eeed of Newburg, N.

Among the settlers of East Hampton a year after the settlement, in 1650, appears the name of Samuel Parsons, then a young man about twenty years of age. No record yet discovered reveals his parentage or birthplace. A full genealogy of this family is not given here, but the line only leading to the Southampton branch. 344 HiSTOKY OF Southampton.

Henry M. was a man of unusual power in the pulpit; of a genial, sympathetic disposition, and one whom all who knew him loved. He was a native of Glens Falls and entered Williams College, where he remained till some time during his third year, when he was compelled by his health to abandon study and take a sea voyage. On his return he resumed his studies at home. Visit- ing his Uncle Charles in Southampton he was engaged to teach the academy in that place, which the writer was then attending. No man more than he won the love of liis scholars. He subsequently studied for the ministry and was licensed to preach, and ordained as pastor of the Presbyterian church at Moriches by the Presbytery of Long Island. His ministry was brief but eminently successful in building up the church of his charge, till failing health com- pelled him to resign. 29 Charles' removed from E. H. and m. Eleanor Harris of South- ampton and had ch. 34 Mary", av. of Dr. Gildersleeve of Port Jeffer- son, L. I., and 35 Sarah Jane", w. of Charles White of Southampton. Burke's Gen. Armory describes coats of arms used by eleven English families of this name. Genealogies. 345 Pelletkeau Family. The ancestors of this family were Hugue- nots, who, upon the revocation of the edict of Xantes, fled from France and sought safety and religious freedom in a foreign clime. The first of the family in America were Jean Pelletreau and wife Magdalena and their nephews, Jean and Elie, the latter having two sons, Jean and Elie, which names were soon anglicized into John and Elias. These were direct descendants from an ancestor who was physician to Admiral Coligny, and, like his illustrious patron, perished in the mas- sacre of St. Bartholomew, August 23, 1572. fgHetTettxt^ King Charles IX. granted him a coat of arms %\\.mmv July 17^ 1571. The following is a transla- tion of the description or blazon . Azure : a column shortened, in pale or, encircled with a serpent proper, between two martlets of the second. Mantle and crest : (a helmet) as the shield. Jean 1st was naturalized in Xew York Sept. 22, 1687, and died in 1700. His wife Magdalena died in 1702 without children. Jean 2d died in 1703 childless. He and his brother Elie were natural- ized July 10, 1696. The native place of this family was the village of Acres, in what is now the Department of Charente Inferieure. They were all members of the French church in New York and in their wills left funds toward the support of its poor. Their names are found in connection with the troubles in that church, as in favor of Rev. Lewis Row. (See Doc. Hist, of X. Y., vol. 3.) Elie Pelletreau died in 1730, leaving sons Elias, Paul, Francis, John and Benjamin and a daughter Magdalena. Elias died before his father and left dau. Mary and Elizabeth. Paul is supposed to have had a son Elias, who had ch. Elias, Samuel, Mary and John. From the first of these are descended the families now living in the city of Brooklyn. Benjamin was the youngest son and is not known to have left descendants. 44 346 HiSTOKY OF SODTHAMPTON. /yoi Francis Pelletreau is said to have been an infant at tlie time when the family lefc France in 108G.

The old house remained standing till 1881 ; it was the last house on Long Island that retained the old-fashioned rhomboidal panes of glass set in lead, and from these it was known as " the house with diamond windows." In 1737 Francis Pelletreau went to London to undergo a surgical operation and died from its effects Sept. 26. His widow married^Judge Hugh Gelston, Feb. 23, 1738, and died Sept. 1, 1775.

He was for a while afterward a resi- dent of Setauket, then called Ashford. In 1657 he was made free- man at Southampton by the General Court, in which year probably he came here after quite a checkered career, and on Dec. 9, 1658, he was granted a home lot of three acres and five other acres, pro- vided he remained three years. I do not know his former residence in England but have reason to believe it was not Scott's Hall of Kent county. 1 John' had w.

The first of this family in America was Eichard Seymour, of Hartford, 1639, of Farmington from 1652 to the year of his death, in 1655. The arms of this family, according to the tradition of the English origin, are : Quarterly, first and fourth, or, on a pile gules, between six fleurs-de-lis azure three lions of England ; second and third gules, two wings conjoined in lure, the first downwards or.

This name is generally written Squires, but the forms of Squire, Squier and Squiers are not uncommon on the early records. The first of the name on Long Island was a John Squires, who lived quite early in East Hampton and married the daughter of William Edwards of that settlement. I assume that he was the father of George Squires, who was of the age to be in the second generation, and who lived in East Hampton, though I have seen no express mention of the fact. Burke's Gen. Armory mentions eight English families of this name as using coat armor. 8SS lll^lOKY OK Soi lll.VMri\>N. 1 Jolm' m. Ami. d. of ^Villi^lm Kdwavds am! had sou r^ Ooorge.*" 3 Oeorgo* m. Jan. \^i>.

Htasurocgu Family. .Josiah Stanbrough was an inhabitant of Lynn in 1037, in Southampton in 1044, as his name is on the whaling list of March 7 of that year, and wag made freeman in this town Sept. 7, 1047, having had the apparently customary trial of three years' residence before attaining the right to vote and hold office. In 1058 he had a residence in Sagg. The title of Mr. is attached to hia name on the records. 1 Jogiah' d. in Sagg 1001, m. a 2^1 w.

Charles Goodall of Southampton. Had some of the living members of this family replied to letters of inquiry a fuller record would have been given. Teebell Family. William Terbell or Tarbill, as the name was generally written in olden time, and still is by a branch of this family in Boston, first appears on record in 1694. He lived in Bridgehampton where some of his descendants still reside. He moved to Mecox in 1696. 1 AVilliam' m. Mary, d. of Jonas Bower, and had ch. 2 William", 3 Mary^, 4 Jonah^ and 5 David.

Phebe S. and d. 16 Ellen'^ b. 1845. 5 David^ had son 17 David. ^ The absence of information of this family in the public records occasions this brief mention. Topping Family. Thomas Topping, the first of this name in Southampton, accord- ing to family tradition, was a refugee from religous persecution in England. Savage says (Gen. Diet.), '^ Thomas Topping of Mil- ford, 1639, but earlier was of Wethersfield and Representative in 1639, joined the church of Milford with his w. Emma in 1640. Genealogies. 395 Had s. Elnathan baptized Aug. 2, 1640, and James Feb. 12, 1G43. A contract made Oct. 20, 1666, at Milford, for his marriage with Mary, widow of Timothy Baldwin, is by her referred to ten years later when she was disposing of her property, in conformity with said contract to her children. He had before 1678 made Lydia the widow of John Wilford his third wife, and for the residue of his days lived at Branford, where, Oct. 5, 1686, he gave by deed to his sons Elnathan and James at Southampton, all his lands in the lat- ter place; to d. Mary Quinney (or some such name), ten cows; to d. Martha Herrick £10, in addition to what she had. already received, to be paid by the sons, who then had the keeping of the cows also. His widow in 1688 transacted business with those sons and died Nov., 1694-." From the Southampton Records it is clear that, the Thomas Top- ping mentioned by Savage resided several years in Southampton, then removed to Branford, and there remained till his death. Capt. Thomas the first settler gave his son 5 Capt. Thomas his homestead at the south end. The latter dies in 1683, and in 1683 Capt. Thomas of Branford confirms the gift of the same to Thomas, oldest son of 5 Capt. Thomas. Burke gives the arms of an English family of Toppings, as fol- lows: Azure, ten lozenges, four, three, two, one argent — crest. ^ Two lion's gambs, sable holding up a roundel vair. ^ 1 Thomas* d. 1688, had 1st w.

The " Beauties of England," a large English work, speaks of the Bampton Manor in the village of Bampton, county of Oxford, as the seat of the Whitaker family. The grand- father of George W.

Two families of this name came to Southampton, the first, that of John White, about 1G44. He was a resident of Lynn in 163U, freeman there in 1633, and made freeman in Southampton in 1647. The other family descended from the seventh pastor of the church, Rev. Sylvanus White, who was the son of Rev. Ebenezer White, of Bridgehampton. Both of these families, however, are said to have a common ancestor, Thomas White of Weymouth, Mass. He was Representative in Gen. Court in 1636 and 37. He died Aug. 1679, leaving, according to Farmer, 1st Joseph of Mendon ; 2 Samuel of Weymouth, b. 1042, admitted freeman 1666, Represen- tative 1679, and died without issue, 3d Thomas of Braintree, 4th Hannah, who m. John Baxter and 5th Ebenezer b. 1648, and died Aug. 24, 1703, aad father of Rev. Sylvanus of Southampton. John, the first of this name in Southampton, is thought to be another son of Thomas of Weymouth, not being mentioned in his will, because he ditd in 16C2 before his father. This 13 possible ai Thomas of Weymouth was born in 1599. 400 History of Southampton. Ther6 are 74 English families of this name mentioned by Burke as using coat armor. For the descendants of other children of Thomas of Weymouth see Thayer's Family Memorials. 1 John' d. 1662, had w. Ann (who in 1653 m.

June, 1776. 1 John*, yeoman, was sheriff of Suffolk county from Oct. 1699 to Oct. 1700 and from Dec. 20, 1701, to Oct. 1702, and a magistrate from 1702 till his death. Provision is made in his will that his son John may "be brought up to learning in a college," and he was a graduate of Yale College in 1722. The epitaph of 1 John* reads as follows : Here | was layed | the body of Mr. | John Wick Esq. | who dyed Janvary | the 16th Anno 1719 | in the 59th year | of his age. The stone is in the center of a six or eight acre lot in Bridge- hampton. The tradition is that he gave direction to have his body laid here, but his friends disregarded it and attempted to dig a grave in the graveyard, but the ants (in January!) came out in such swarms and filled the grave as they dug, that they were com- pelled to abandon their purpose. Another tradition says that the heirs, not liking the disposition of the property made in his will, read a summons over his grave, calling him to appear in court and show cause why the will should not be broken. Burke mentions one English family of the name using coat armor. Genealogies. 407 WiLLMAN" Family. Isaac Willman had "accommodations layed out" to him in 1645. When the site of the village was changed in 1648 from Old Town to the present one along Main street, he had a house-lot granted to him next south of Ellis Cook, provided he stayed three years. 1 Isaac' had w.

Dec. 9, 1689, and 9 Abraham.' The family did not remain in the town probably much later than the year 1700, and there are none now of this name residing in Southampton. WooDEUFF Family. John Woodruff is first mentioned on the list of 1657. His will mentions John, his eldest son, living in Elizabeth, X. J., and John, his youngest son, living in Southampton. The latter was heir to John Gosmer, and probably married his daughter, and lived on the present homestead of Mr. Josiah Foster. I presume some of this name in New Jersey are descended from the John of Elizabeth. There are six English families of this name mentioned in Burke's General Armory as using coat armor. 1 John' d. in May 1G70, had w. Anne and ch. 2 John', 3 John'-, 4 Elizabeth*, w. of Dayton of East Hampton, and 5 Anne', \v. of Eobert Woolley. 2 John'' of Elizabeth, N. J., m.

A Samuel in 1738 speaks of " my uncles Benjamin and Nathaniel, and my brother Alexander Fordham." He may have been son of 7 Samuel.^ WooLLEY Family. Eobert Woolley, the first of this name in Southampton, is first mentioned on the list of 1657, probably having come here a few years earlier. Savage says he was of Fairfield, Mass., 1649 to 1653 and then removed. 1 Robert' m.

Armory mentions one English family of this name as having coat armor. Wright Family. 1 Nymphas Wright of Middle Haddam, Conn., had w.

John and Thomas Deming or Diamont first appear in the Weathersfield records in lG3o-4o. vSavage says, in his Genealogical Dictionary of Xew England (vol. 2, p. ,35), that Thomas was per- haps the brother of John. This agrees with a tradition of the family. Thomas Deming's yard in Weatliersfield in 1648 is mentioned as the place where one of the first ships of the colony (the Tryall) was built. [See Memorial Hist, of Hartford Co., Conn., p. 481.] Thomas married in 164o, in Weathersfield, Mary Sheafle, His son James was born in 1646. Thomas removed with his family to Far- mington, thence to Southampton, thence to Easth.ampton, where he continued to reside. His descendants (found throughout the United States and elsewhere) constitute what is known as the Thomas Deming branch of the Deming family. A few families showing the Thomas Deming line are given below : 1 Thomas' wills in 168*2 to w. Mary (who died Aug. 21, 1706) and ch. 2 James'* b. 1646, 3 Thomas^ 4 Sarah^, w. of Headly of N.

[See page 336.] The above was furnished by Philander Deming of Albany, the well-known contributor to the Atlantic Monthly. The record shows how members of the same family may forget their common origin, by adopting forms of the name so varied as Dimon and Deming. The name is said by Lower to be derived from Dumont and was the family name of a Frenchman who emigrated to England. * So far the genealogy is Identical with that of the Dimon family before given, the surname only being chainged.

Rhodes Family. The coat of arms of this family is : Argent, two quatrefoils, slipped, sable, a chief of the last. Crest: A wolf's head couped, sable, collared argent. This family is descended from the Rode or Rodes family, formerly of the manor of Rode in the hun- dred of Korthwich, in the county of Cheshire, Eng- land, a pedigree of which may be found in Orme- ill!]!|\!,i^jj I'od's History of Cheshire, vol. 3, p. 53. The spelling "il^f f'"'''-="-J of the name was changed in America about 1750 by adding a letter. The first of this family hitherto traced by the family is 1 Capt. Simon Rhodes' born in Newport, R.

Anuing, John, tailor, buys land in Wickapogue in 1687 of Robert ISTorris, yeoman. He is on the rate list of 1G83 with three polls and £88, but not on lists of 1694 or '96. 2. Bacon, Abigail, housekeeper of Manasseh Kempton, 1734. 3. Bancroft, Widow. Laud was granted to her in 1644, but it is not probable she ever resided here. She had a s. Thomas, resident of Lynn, who had descendants. 4. Barbur, Samuel. On rate list of 1694, £18, and on list of 1698 with w, Mary and d. Mary. Lived in Bridge Hampton. Savage mentions a Samuel of Windsor, Ct., who was son of Thomas and had ch. Thomas, Samuel, John and Hannah. 3. Barker, Samuel. Freeman 1656-59. In 1666 is mentioned as a weaver, living in North Sea. Had w. Naomi and probably was father of William, who, in 1688 aud later, appears as a merchant, living between Thomas Topping on the north (now the residence of Albert and James H. Foster) and Edward Howell on the south. As late as 1698 Willliam has no family ; names his Uncle Matthew in his will. He was written as "Mr." Left large estate, as appears by inventory in office of Sec. of State of New York. He died Aug. 14, 1702, at Southampton. Wm. Barker, Gent, merchant, wills, Mch. 16, |f ifo» to Abraham Howell, Gent., £50 current pay ; to John Wick, sergemaker of S. 422 History of Southampton.

Proved Jan. 24, 1786. N. Y. S. 0. I think he must have lived in Sag Harbor. 6. Beswick, John, probably a planter or farmer, mentioned in 1671, when he owned land. Not on list of tax payers 1683. 7. Bigelow, Samuel. Is mentioned in town records as having w. Mehetabel and ch. Abigail b. Feb. 10, 172|, Timothy b. Sept. 19, 1724, Mary b. Sept. 18, 1826, Isaac b. June 15, 1730, and Samuel b. Jan. 12, 173f. Not on list of 1698, nor rate list of 1736. 8. Blyeth, William. Probably a servant or laborer ; only found on list of 1698. 9. Bond, Robert. Came from Lynn to Southampton, according to Hatfield. He further says of him that he was a man of influence and had 1st w. Hannah, sister of John Ogden and 2d w. Mary, wid. of Hugh Roberts of Newark and d. of Hugh Calkins. Had sons Joseph and Stephen and perhaps others. Died in Newark 1677.

Edmund, Thomas, John and Edward are found on the early papers, but no evidence of actual residence here, except perhaps Thomas and Edward, both of whom were on the list of 1645, but not on that of 1644. Edward was here apparently in 1657. In 1666 Edmund is mentioned by Thompson as a resident of Flushing. 26. Field, Alexander Mr. Oct. 6, 1652, chosen freeman. Men- tioned Oct., 1655, on jury.

In 1684 he buys a home lot of John Jennings on tlie hill, late the residence of Capt. Mercator Cooper, deceased. One of this name sailed, in 1635, aged 30, from London to St, Ciiristopher's. 32. Goring, Henry, on rate lists of 1683 and 1695, but I know no more of him. Savage mentions a Henry, of Windsor, who had s. William b. 1679. 33. Gosmer, John Mr., sometimes called Cosmore (which mis- leads Savage), probably father of Richard (on whose estate he administers in 1649, and Richard appears to have died unmarried), and probably had also a d., who was w. of John Woodruff. John Gosmer 1659 gives his " adopted son," John Woodruff, all his houses and lands. In 1665, then deceased, he is called the grandfather of John Woodruff, Jr. He lived on the late residence of Charles Pelle- treau, and also owned a house and lot opposite to this on the other side of the street, late the residence of Frederic Howell. He came here with the first company in 1640. Was a man of wealth and much influence, and magistrate for many years. His wife's name was Elizabeth. He came originally from Fordwich, Kent county, England. 34. Gould, John, tailor. In 1686 he buys of Richard Post his N. W. corner (former residence of Josiah Foster), and sells the same 1692 to Walter Melvine, who sells the same to Samuel Butler 1697. He removed probably to Elizabeth, where, according to Hatfield, appears one of this name 1694. But in April, 1687, he lived (or one of that name) in East Hampton. Greenvill, John, of S. H., wills, Mch. 19, 1689-90, his property 428 History of Southampton. to his w. Ruth, d. of Peregrine Stanborough. He died soon after this. No children are mentioned in his will. 35.

Apr. 1, 1681, he has a grant of land on the hill, provided he remain. 37. Hampton, James, called an old man 1673, first of Salem ; lived at Northendon residence late of John Rogers, which residence he bought of Richard Barnes 1652. Had w. Jane, and only ch. Mary, 1st the w. of James Mappem or Mapham, and m. second Beni. Horton, of South old. Appears to have occuiiied Pope's lot — the one to the south of this, at one time. 38.

Codicil of of Apr. 29, 1775, states that his w. died in giving birth to a male child named Joseph. Will proved May 31, 1775. 40. Heathcote, George, bought a residence of Obadiah Sale, which Caleb Heathcote, said to be a cousin of George, in 1712 sold to the town for a cemetery. William Russell was the first owner of this property. George H. died in Southampton. In 1710, Nov. 14, George Heathcote writes his will as a merchant in Pennsylvania, and wills to cousin Caleb H., of N. Y., to two gr. ch., ch. of John Barker, of London, and his sister, deceased, and to sisters in Eng., Hannah Browne and Anne Lupton. 41.

Houldsworth, Jonas, 16G3, schoolmaster, afterward of Hunt- ington. In 1698 in Southold. Taught in Southampton £35 per annum. 43. Howe, Daniel and Jeremiah. Daniel, one of the most influ- ential pioneers of the settlement, master and owner of the vessel which brought the colonists from Lynn, and magistrate. Resided here from the settlement until the settlement of East Hampton, of which, according to Hedges, he was one of the settlers in 1648. But he was in Southampton in Oct. 1649. Lewis and Newhall (Hist, of Lynn), say ho was freeman there 1634, and Lieut, in the Ancient Artillery Company 1638. He had brother Edward and son Ephraim, and perhaps other ch. Jeremiah, Dec. 1, 1646, is mentioned, with a few others, who had not then paid their taxes due — perhaps because of removal. He was son of Edward, the bro. of Daniel, and came in the Trudove 1635, and removed to New Haven. 44. Hubby, John, 1650, receives money for working in the sea- poose, and in 1651 in a lawsuit. May, 1652, he fails to appear in court, having left the town. 45. Hughes, Humphry, had son Humphry b. Oct. 2, 1669. In 1669 a Humphry had w. Martha, and in list of 1698 are Humphry, Abner, Uriah, Jedediah and John, the four latter probably the sons or brothers of the 2d Humphry. None of this name are on the tax lists of 1695 or 1683. They lived east in Bridge Hampton or Sagg, A Humphry Hughes was of Cape May Co., New Jersey, 1696. Jacobs, Joseph, of S. H., merchant, wills, Sept. 12, 1774, to w. Eleanor and ch.

In Jan., 165^, occurred the suit for obtaining promise of marriage under pretense of his wife being dead — 430 History of Southampton. i. e., dead in trespasses and sins — before alluded to. ^March, 165|^, he was fined .5s. for lying, and did not remain long after this. 49. Kemptou, Manasseh. Savage says a Menasseh (who must have been father or gr. father of the one in Southampton) Kemp- ton was one of the earliest settlers of Plymouth, and probably came in the Ann 1623. He died Jan. 14, 166f, and his w. Julian d. Feb. 19, 166|, te. 81. Rep. 9 yrs. The Manasseh, of Southampton, d. Nov. 28, 1737, ae. 86. In 1688 he bought Pope's lot of Ben.

E. ; to kinsman Stephen Kempton, cordwainer, of S. H., and his d. Prisciila, and to Abigail Bacon, his housekeeper. Proved Jan. 13, 173| N. Y. S. 0. 50. Kirtland family. Philip came quite early to Lynn — proba- bly with part of his family. His two sous — Philip, ge. 21, and Nathaniel, a3. 19 — came to Lynn in the Hopewell April, 1635. He had another son, John, b. about 1607, who was in E. H. 1658 and 1659, and what other family I know not. Philip, junior, and his brother Nathaniel, were a short time residents here — coming with the first settlers. But Philip returned to Mass. in 1641, and Nathaniel removed before 1644. Philip, Jr., had ds. Mary, Sarah, Susanna and Hannah, and w. Alice, who m. 2d Evan Thomas. 51. Larrison (or Lawrison), John, a mason, m. 1st Jemima Hal- sey May 23, 1683, and 2d Mary, wid. of David Howell, Dec. 20, 1686. Had one d., Mary. In 1683 he is taxed for £254, and not living 1694. 52. Laughtou, John, 1665, has tnree acres N. of Mr. Russell's home lot. (See Heathcote for the location.) He probably died childless soon after 1679. In 1678 a brother Josiah is mentioned, who had then a son John of full age. Josiah had* also son Josiah. In 1715 Josiah sells the so. half of place formerly John Laugh ton's to Benjamin Haines. The name is spelled Lawton on commis- sion to collect the taxes. 53. Lawrence, Zachary, on the list of 1683. 54. Leaming, Christopher, of Sagg, had w. Esther and s. Thomas, b. born about 1674, a cooper, and a son Aaron. In 1692 he and his *W. S. Pelletreau. Genealogies. 431 sons moved to Dennisville, Cape May Co., K J. A considerable account of this family, after their migration to Cape May Co., N". J. (whither the L. I. people went for carrying on the wluiling busi- ness) may be found in Dr. Beesely's history of the settlement of this county, bound up with the Report of the Geological Survey of Cape May County by G. H. Cook. 55. Lum (or Loom), John, had a home lot granted June 17, 1651. He probably removed to Huntington, as such a one in 1660 is mentioned as living there, "formerly of North Sea," and having still a son Samuel in Southampton, who is said to be heir of Mark Meiggs, of Huntington. In 1654 John has a hundred in the Saga- bonack division. He had, also, probably another son, Matthew, who was a blacksmith, and in 1667 lived in the Southend some- where. A Samuel is on the list of 1683 and 1694, and on the list of 1698 we find a number of the name, and if his family, we might say w. Hannah and ch. Matthew, Samuel, Abigail and Hannah. He lived in the Mecos settlement. 56. Maltby, John, formerly of Connecticut, a tax payer in 1694. He ra. Susana Clark, and had ch. Sarah b. 1705, wlio d. unmarried 1723, and Mary, w. of Hugh Gelston. John M. d. June 37, 1706, aged 33 years. The John mentioned was the son of John Maltby, of New Haven, who (according to Savage) was lost at sea 1676, leaving w. Mary and children Mary and John. His w. Mary was d. of Richard Bryant, of Milford, Conn., and was born 1654. She m. 2d Edward Howell, who thus brought the children to Southampton, where John, at maturity, married Susana Clark, and Mary m. Rev. John Fordham. The John of Southampton must have had male heirs, as a family of this name in Hadlyme, Ct., claim descent from him. 57. Mapham (or Mappem), John, according to Savage, was son of John, of Guilford, Ct., in 1639, who d. 1649. John, the younger, m. Mary, only d. of James Hampton, and succeeded to his estate, and had two ds., one of whom, Mary, m. Thomas Lupton. The other, Abigail, m. Charles Booth, of Southold. 1671 James Hamp- ton gives him land. He died between 1683 and 1686, in which year (1686) his wid. m. Benj. Horton, of Southold. 58. Marvin (or Merwin), Robert. May 12, 1649, he has from the town a £100 lot granted to him "on three months' approbation had of him." This, by the way, establishes the fact that he was a far- 432 History of Southampton. mer, as the town gave usually but a £50 lot to mechanics on their settlement. He, more than any other, occupied himself in destroy- ing wolves, as appears from the town records. Richard is once men- tioned, but it is probably a clerical error for Robert. He m. Mary, d. of William Browne, and in 1650 administers upon the estate of his father-in-law. Thompson mentions him as a resident of Hemp- stead in 1682, as also a John — perhaps a son. 59. Mason, William, in 1682, buys eight acres on the hill (now homestead of Thomas Warren), and there lived, in 1684 and 1698. James, of East Hampton, 1687. ' In 1696 a William M. had 150 acres in Cape May Co., N. J. 60. Meacham, Jeremiah. Savage says a Jeremiah, of Salem, Mass., a fuller, had w. Deborali and ch. Isaac, Jeremiah, Rhoda, Sarah, Hannah and Bethia. The s. Jeremiah probably is the one on the Southampton records as a resident in 1658, and also in 1660, when he is mentioned as on jury, or the elder Jeremiah might himself have moved as mentioned. Hedges gives him an early residence in East Hampton. 61. Meiggs, Mark, with father Vincent and brother John, are residents of New Haven 1646-7. He resided in Southampton from 1651 to 1658. He was granted a lot in E. H., but abandoned it before Dec. 1651. In Huntington 1672. He gives by will all his property, after decease of his wife Avis, to Samuel, s. of John Lum, of Southampton. In 1657 a Vincent Meiggs is resident of North Sea, and in 1653 he contracts to build a mill in E. Hampton. He died at Killingworth, Ct., Dec, 1658. 62. Melvine, Walter, a cooper, and w. Mary, in 1697, sell to Samuel Butler what was formerly the homestead of Josiah Foster. He recorded ch. John, b. Jan. 3, 1685; Hannah, b. March 18, 1688, and Martha, b. July 1, 1091. 63. Mendall, John, June 8, 1659, one of a party who illegally took goods from a Dutch vessel wrecked at Southampton. Nothing more can I find of him. 64. Miller, John, 1655, charged with slander by Mark Meggs. 65. Mills, Richard, freeman 1650, schoolmaster and town clerk 1651. In 1551, Apr. 11, the old meeting-house was given him by the town to enlarge his own house for keeping the ordinary. March 7, 165^, he sells his homestead to John Cooper, Jr., removed, and was schoolmaster in Middlebury, N. Y., 1660, and town clerk in Genealogies. 433 Westchesber, 1661. In 1683 Samuel and Isaac pay taxes. Samuel M. d. 1685, leaving son Richard, a minor. In 1691 only Isaac remains, and he lived in Bridgehamptou, Suggor Mecox, and had son Isaac in 1698 (as per list), and also probably s. Jonathan. Dr. Mills had son David, b. Dec. 9, 1693. 66. Milner, George, appears as resident in 1653 and 1654. Lewis says Michael Milner came in the James of London 1635, sd. 23, and removed to L. I. If so, perhaps he was father of tliis George. 67.

Sept. 17, 1656, he was banished from the town on account of " unrever- end carriage" toward the magistrates, and has a week to prepare. The banishment appears to have been effectually carried out, although he returned, as appears from the Boston records.

Two of this name appear on tlie early 56 442 History of Southampton. records of Southamptou, and in cue case one of them is the princi- pal and and the other a juryman in a lawsuit. To distinguish them the former is called Jonas Wood H. [Halifax] and the latter Jones Wood 0. [Oram]. Jones Wood H. is the earliest on record and was made freeman Oct. 7, 1650. Hatfield says Jonas and Edward Wood were members of the church at Water town, Mass., in 1635, and with Jo. Strickland and others were dismissed May 29> 1635. to plant a colony on the Connecticut river, to which they gave the name of Wethersfield. In 1640 Jonas, Jonas, Jr., Jere- miah, Edmund, removed from Wethersfield and with others (Hin- man, Puritans of N. E.) settled Rippowams (Stamford, Ct). Jonas and Edmond (or Edward, as Hatfield has it) are thought to have been brothers and the other two their sons. In the spring of 1644 they joined the colony that crossed over to L, I. (Wood, Hist, of L. I.), and settled Hempstead, Jonas being one of the patentees. Jonas and Jonas, Jr., subsequently settled at Huntington, L. I., and were both living there in 1675. The Jonas of North Sea, Wood thinks, was son of Edward and cousin of Jonas, Jr., supposing the latter to be son of Jonas, Sr. To return to the Southampton notes.

Anniversary of Settlement op Southampton. 445 CELEBRATION OF THE 225TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SETTLEMENT OF SOUTHAMPTON, DECEMBER 13, 1865. This day was chosen as the anniversary of the day on which legal possession of their homes was obtained from the Indians, as may be seen from the date of the Indian deed given in the Appendix. The historical discourse was delivered by Rev. Geo. Rogers Howell, and the following ode written for the occasion, by Mrs. Maria J. R. Howell, daughter of Capt. Mercator Cooper, and wife of John Fletcher Howell, Esq., was finely rendered by a large choir. At a meeting in the evening, appropriate addresses were made by H. R. Stiles, M. D., and Mr. Aldeu J. Spooner, of Brooklyn, and the Rev. Messrs. W. B. Reeves, of Westhampton, and Epher "Whita- ker, of Southold. Rise up, ye people, with anthems of praise, And loud to Jehovah your thanksgivings raise; Praise ye the might which hath built here an altar, And gathered a people from over the sea; Sing to the mercy whose love cannot falter, And praise ye Jehovah, the God of the free. Rise up, ye people, with anthems of praise, And loud to Jehovah your thanksgivings raise. Agos have rolled down the dark stream of time, Since our forefathers left their own native clime. Seeking a home on this ocean-girt Isle, Where, free from the weight of oppression's hard rod, Untrammeled by rank and unfettered by guile, Secure they might dwell, and in peace worship God. Rise up, ye people, with anthems of praise, And loudto Jehovah your thanksgivings raise. Here in their Island homes they have been blest, An oasis fair upon ocean's broad breast; The loved forms that builded the first cottage fires Long since have slumbered beneath the green sod; But the children, impressed with the same fond desires. Still bring to this altar their tribute to God. Rise up, ye peo])le, with anthems of praise, And loud to Jehovah your thanksgivings raise. Appendix. 44,7 APPENDIX. *"THE DISPOSALL OF THE VES8ELL."

DEED OF JAMES FARRETT APR. 17, 1640. From the town records. Know all men whom this p''sent writing may concerne that I James ffarret of Long Island Gen' Deputy to the right honr''' the Earleof Starling Secretary for the kingdom of Scotland doe hy these p''sents in the name and behalf of the said Earle and in mine owue name allsoe aa his Deputy as it doth or may any way concerne myself. Give and grant free leave and liberty to Daniell How, Job Sayre, George Willby and William Harker* together with their asso- ciates to sitt "downe upon Long Island afforesaide, there to possess improve and euioy eight miles square of land or soe much as shall containe the said quan- tity, not only upland but alsoe whatsoever meadow marish ground, harbo" Riv" and creeks lye within the bounds or limitts of the said eight miles, The same and every pt thereof quietly and peaceably to enioy to them and theire heyres forever without any disturbance, lett or mollestation from the said earle or any by bis appoyutment or p''curement for him or any of his. And that they are to take tlieir clioise to sit down upon as best lyketh them and alsoe that they and their associates shall enioy as full and free liberty in all matters that doe or may concerne them or theires or that may conduce to ye good and comfort of them and theires both in church order and civill Governmt together with all other Easem'^ conveniences and accommodations whatsoever which the said place doth or may afford, answerable to what other plantations enioy in Massachusetts Bay. But in as much as it hath pleased our Koyall King to Give and grant the patent of Long Island to the afforesaid Earle: In consideration thereof it is' agreed uppon that the trade with ye Indians shall remaine to the said Earle of Starling to Dispose of from time to time and at all times as best liketh him. Onely ye aforesaid Daniell How and his co- partners shall have libertie to make choice of one man amongst them that shall freely trade with the Indians in theire behalf for any victualls within theire owne plantation, but not for wampum. And if any of the afforesaid p'sons or any for them shall secretly trade with the Indians for wampum whither directly or indirectly without leave or license from the said Earle or his Assigues the psou or psons soe offending shall pay for every fathom soe traded to the said Earle or his assignes the sum of twenty shillings: ffurther it is Agreed uppon that whatsoever shall bee thought meete by the r' Worf' John Winthrop Esq. Govern'' of the Massachusetts Bay to bee given to the Earl of Starling in way of acknowledgement as the Patenttee of the place shall be duely and truely paid, ffurthermore it is agreed upon that noe man shall by vertue of any gift or purchase lay any claime to any land lying within the compass of the eight miles before mentioned but onely the afforesaid Inhabitants shall make purchase (in theire owne names at theire owne leisure from any Indians that Inhabit or have lawfull right to any of the aforesaid land) all or any pt thereof, and thereby assure it to themselves and theire heyres as theire luhabitance for ever. In witness whereof wee have hereunto set our hands and seales the 17th day of Aprill, 1640. Memorandum. That the true meaning of Mr ffarret is that whereas hee hath formerly purchased sartain lauds in Long Island for the Earle of Starling or himself. That hee doth by these presents fully release all claime and Inter- est in the land above mentioned or psons that shall sitt down upon it with all to Governmt whither in church or in commonwealth. All which is to beclearely and fully drawne up according to the trew meaning of this agreement when things shall be settled and concluded by the r' wori'' John VVinthrop above mentioned. James ffakkett [seal] Sealed and delivered in the presence of Theopb : Eaton John Davenport. * The grantees above named probably went on from Lynn to New Haven, and obtained this patent from Farrett in pei-son. Appendix. 457 Endorsed on the back side of the said writeing under Mr Winthrop hia hand as foUoweth. I John Winthrop within named having seriously considered of that within this writeing is refered to my determination although I am very unwilling to take it upon mee and as unfit alsoe the rather being to seeki of any rule or aproved p-'sident to guide mee herein yet being called hereunto: I shall ex- press what I conceive to bee Equall upon the considerations here insueing, viz. The land within granted being a meere wilderness and the natives of the place pretending some interest which ye planters must purchase, And they might have had laud enough gratis (and as convenient) in ye Massachusetts or • other of the Collonies w"" libertie to trade with the Indians, (which they are here debarred from) And for that they had possessed and improved this i)lace before any actual! claime made thereto by the r' honr'''" the Earle of Starling, or had any notice of his Lopp» pattent, And whereas his Loi'i' (for considera- tion I suppose of the p''mises) refjuires nothing of them but in way of acknowledgement of his Interest, I doe here uppou conceive and doe accord- ingly (soe farre as power is given mee) order and set down that the Inhabit- ants of the tract of land within mentioned or the plantation now called Southampton upon Long Island, and their successors for ever shall pay yearly to the said Earle of Starling his heyres or assignes upon the last day of Sep- tember at Southampton aforesaid four bushells of the best Indian come there growing or the value of soe much in full satisfaction of all rents and services (the 5th p^ of Gold and Silver ore to the Kings Ma''" reserved allways excepted) In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand.
