The "Four- of score Acres" tract ,granted to John Conklynge of Common in Lands, 1684, by the ,inhabitants came eventually into William Albertson's hands by 1779 and 1798 (J.

Joseph Wickham (1648, Wethersfield, Conn., later 1 Southold). William Wickham was distinguished as lawyer, District Attorney and able public leader. He married Sarah E. Havens, daughter of Col.
