Captain Glover's lot was on the creek, the Arthur M. Joost place where
the pageant was given in 1915.
A windmill stood on Mill Hill, the site occupied by the house of Mr. Barnes
in 1924.
s For years Southampton Town laid claim to half of Great Peconic Bay and
tried to wrest all rights to that part of it from the towns of Southold and River-
head, which always claimed the free ase of the bay from shore to shore. The
trustees of the three towns fought over the disputed privileges for a long time. ti
In 1901 the town meeting in Southold Town was asked for an appropriation to
enable the trustees to define the line, if there was one, or if not to establish a
line in Great Peconic Bay and settle the controversy. The bay divides Southold '
and Riverhead from Southampton Town.
The Farmers' Club of Southold, engaged S. Terry Hudson of Riverhead,
considered an authority on bay boundaries, to speak in every village in Southold
Town before the town meeting urging the voters to defeat the proposition and
thereby hold every inch of the bay and its bottom. The proposition was lost by
eight votes. Southold was saved the trouble of disposing of its vast inheritance. 1
Er The original Andros Patent was sought as the authority for these claims.
Mr. Hudson looked for it in the State Library at Albany, but in vain. It was
traced to the keeping of the Long Island Historical Society, however, and Mr.
i Hudson's search ended in the east wing of the museum at 128 Pierrepont Street,
Brooklyn. Faded as the patent was, Mr. Hudson was able to spell it out. It says
oil with the Sound on the north, ye sea on the south and ye arm of ye sea on thesouth, and there was an abundance of proof to show that it did not mean "without l
the Sound on the north," or "without the bay on the south." It placed the
} boundaries on the south edge of the bay, and there is no other title in existence
' to this valuable property of 1,000 square miles, with its fishing and shooting and
[, underwater rights, such as docking, waterfronts, shelling and oyster farming. Mr.
+� Hudson found that the water rights of Southold were of even greater magnitude
than he had dreamed. He discovered that all of Long Island Sound once belonged
to Southold. When it owned the whole of the bays it sold a portion of them to
Riverhead Town. Mr. Hudson was born near Northville, on November 24, 1843, f
on the farm where his father, Samuel Hudson, and his grandfather, Daniel
Hudson, also were born.
Southold has a savings bank and also a business bank, and stores of all
'} descriptions. It has a progressive week'.y newspaper, hotels, a free public library,
±# five churches, namely, Presbyterian, Methodist, Episcopal, Roman Catholic,
1 Shiloh Baptist (Colored), and the only Universalist Church outside of Brooklyn-
There area fine school, several social clubs, four fraternal organizations and
motor fire department.
Southold has been building for tre future, as three waterfront parks for ;
{ , the use of the public, bear testimony.
The North Fork Country Club, with its golf links, is within easy driving
distance.
a : Southold is 92.1 miles from New York. In 1923 it had a population of 2,000.
