Lazarus Manly, a miller from Boston, was granted by the owners of Common and Undivided lands in Southold four acres for his use so long as he maintained a "'sufficient grist k mill" for the Town. The land was bounded by the Billberry Swamp and Common Lands (Southold Town Records.) The ' mill stood on the hill nearby the miller's house, considered to be this one. A millstone placed by a later occupant of the house as a foundation support, is imbedded in the fieldstone wall of the very small, low ceilinged cellar. The rear kitchen is said to be a moved carpenter shop of Gamaliel. Bennett, added later. The original house and addition present the fine old lines of a "Salt-box". The old Post Road ran by the door. -19 number of families have dwelled in this house. Pre- vious to Glover ownership, it was long known as the "Steve Simons' place". Mrs. Elmira Austin Glover in her 94th year is the present owner. Married to John Septer Glover, a farmer in Cutchogue, in 1891, she came with her family in 1902 to live here. 42 THE JOSEPH REEVE HOMESTEAD In Origin 1677 Henry Talmadge 1857 (William P.
