U.nN PBI~G COH.....NY 14,,,,,d16BeetmaDStreei, Newl'ork. PREFACE. THIS second volume of the Records of the Town of Southold, Suffolk County, New York, has been pre- pared and printed to correspond in plan and style with the first volume, which was published two years since. It is placed within easy reach of the public by the au- thority of the Towns of South old and Riverhead, and at their expense. They intrusted the publication to committees chosen for the purpose. These committees at the present time are J. Wickham Case, Esq., Mr. Stuart T. Terry, and the Rev. Epher Whitaker, D.D., of South old, and Horace H. Benjamin, Esq., George F. Stackpole, Esq., and Mr. S. Terry Hudson, of River- head. A sub-committee on printing engaged J. Wick- ham Case, Esq., to make the transcript of the Records and to add explanatory Notes. According to these ar- rangements, the work has been done. This second volume contains essentially the Recq,rds of the Town made during the eighteenth century. The first and second volumes together cover the colonial period of the Town's history, from the settlement of Southold, the oldest Town on Long Island, in 1640, to the peace- ful establishment of the government of the State of New York, after the close of the war which resulted in the independence of the United States of America. Great care has been taken to make the printed copy thoroughly trustworthy; and this volume presents substantially the contents of Liber C of the original iv PREFACE. manuscript Records. Sometimes the transcript has been made literally, word for word; and sometimes abstracts have been made of long, antique, technical documents, which are so prolix, verbose, repetitious, and obscure, . that, as one has wittily said, if a fog-horn should be sounded in the middle of one of them, none but a law- yer could hear it at the beginning or the end of the document. In all these abstracts the substance ofthe original has been faithfully retained, including the dates of the transaction and of its record; the names of the persons concerned, and of the witnesses and all others engaged; and in cases of the conveyance of land, the description and the boundaries of the property. There are a few entries in Liber D that pertain to the period covered by the Records in Libel' C. But for many reasons it has not been deemed best to print them in this volume apart from their original surround- ings. They are not sufficiently numerous and impor- tant to make it necessary. Another generation may judge it desirable to print the whole of Libel' D, with every part of it in its proper place and order. The Notes written by J. W. Case, Esq., and printed in this volume, show the same carefulness, intelligence, good sense, and clearness of statement which mark those from the same pen in the first volume of the Re. cords. These Notes add greatly to the value of the work of transcription which he has laboriously accom- plished. Both the Transcriber and the Towns should be most heartily congratulated on the successful per- formance of the undertaking so properly intrusted to him. EPHER WHITAKER. SOUTHOLD, March 25, I88~. TOWN CLERK'S CERTIFICATE. THIS may certify that I have myself compared this printed volume, being essentially a copy of Liber C of the Town Records of Southold, or caused it to be com. pared, with the original manuscript Records in my office, and that the printed copy is the same as the original, crrata excepted, and except also that abstracts have been made of some documents written in exceed- ingly verbose and technical language; but in all these cases the fact is indicated that abstracts only are printed. These abstracts, however, give all names, dates, and boundaries mentioned in the original entries. 'VILLIA~[ A. COCHRAN, TOWJI Clt'rk. SOUTHOLD. March IS. IS8.t. SOUTHOLD TOWN RECORDS.

Rd'. [NOTE.-Barnabas Horton did not sign the confirmation deed.-J. W. C.] _ NOTE.-A brief, and by no means perfect, sketch of the changes which have occurred in the line of the south boun- dary of Southold, as described in its original purchase and in its Patent, will perhaps be read by some with a degree of interest. The original boundary lines of the Town of Southold were clear and well defined in the first and oldest grant to be found upon the Records. The deed from the Indians to- Governor Eaton is not to be found; but Mr. Georp;e R. Howell, of the State Library at Albany, discQ\,-e-red in June, 1883, upon the records in his office, the copy of an Indian deed, bearing date March 14, 1648, "unto Mr. Theophilus Eaton Governour of New Haven Jurisdiction and to Mr. Stephen Goodyear Deputy Governor" for" the whole tract of land commonly called Ocquebauck, together with the Land and meadows lying on the other side the water as far as the Creeke Mashmanock," or Toyongs. A certifi- cate accompanies the deed, signed by four sachems, that the grantors were the true owners of Occabauk. Then follows (furnished through the courtesy of Mr. Howell) a copy of the testimony of Paucump, about eighty years old: "That Occabauke was art antient Seate of sa- chemship-time out of minde; but the first in his time did posse sse the upland and meadow on the swamp side of the head of the River being in the West end of the Bay jive Creekes . . . . the fifth Toyoungs, 'being the outbounds thereof, and lying in opposicon to Occabauk, old ground, on the North side of the Bay." SOUTHOLD TOWN RECORDS. 13 And Paucump further testilies that Occabauk was pur. .chased by Col. John Youngs about 1649 of the legal and undisputed owner of the tract at that time. Southampton Town laid no claim to the lands and meadows north of the Red Creek line by virtue of her patent: that did not cover them. The Shinecock Indians, 'who afterwards pretended to have been the legal owners, had left the inhabitants of Southold in the quiet and undis- turbed :possession of these lands and meadows for at least ten years. Brookhaven recognized the line running from 'Toyongs or Red Creek to Pauquacunsuck, or the peperidge tree at Wading River, as the southerly line of Southold: it was known as the" Manor Line." People bounded their lots upon it, and do, we believe, to this day, as an old estab- lished line. The late lawyer George Miller, in his centen- nial address, says, II It has always been a known line and a landmark between the divisions of land lying north and 'south of it." The papers and statements above quoted are authentic. .and have always seemed to us sufficient to establish a good and valid title in Southold to all the lands and meadows within the bounds of her Patent; and that Riverhead should, in equity, be this day in full possession of all the lands and meadows lying north of the Manor Line, as that line runs from the bridge over the Peconic River at Riverhead to the head of Red Creek. But in 1662, Weany, a Sunk squaw, sold Thomas Topping a tract of land covering the premises above named. Soon after, Mandush and other Indians prew tended to be the true owners, and donated these lands and meadows to Southampton inhabitants: thus the town pro- prietors and Topping had a warm contest, Topping selling to the Town. The town soon sued Southold, under Man. .dush's title, for trespass. A trial was had at the assizes in 1667, and through the introduction of the testimony of Indians and squaws, themselves quasiwowners of the prem- ises, as to the customs and habits of their hunters, by which they claimed ownership to territory, a decision was rendered against the claim of Southold. An appeal was taken to the Equity Court. This was granted, the court at the same time ordering that the plaintiffs and defendants shall both have liberty to mow upon the meadows, each the one half, till the title shall be decided in equity. In [667 the two Towns, through a committee from each, .agreed to use the meadows equally between them until a .final decision should be reached. Thus the matter rested, the inhabitants of the two Towns 14 SOUTHOLD TOWN RECORDS. annually amicably dividing and mowing the meadows till 1686, when, through a committee from each Town, a final settlement of the long and vexatious controversy was made, as follows: "The Town of Southold shall have of the said meadows of Accabauge for their proportion the westward part thereof, to begin for the west bounds at two pine trees agreed upon by both partys, that are marked by the River- side about half a mile below the going over the River head; and from the said pine trees all the meadow eastward to the spring at the head of the creek that comes up on the east side of fifteen mile Island." H Southampton Towns part of said meadows to begin at the said Spring, and from thence E,astward all the meadow to the creek called the Red Creek." The inhabitants of Southold then took a complete pos- session of their share as allotted, in fee, and have held it from that time to the present. Southampton did the same,. retaining the jurisdiction (little more than a name) over the whole premises. The present south line of Riverhead Town adjoining Brookhaven north line is not the original" Manor Line,'" running direct from Red Creek to the peperidge tree at Wading River; instead of that, the Peconic River is now made the boundary, until the end of the main branch of the river is reached, and from thence it runs on a course. north ItO west, 432 ch. 40 1., to the U peperidge tree" at Wading River. This last line was run by Hull Osborn, Esq., on the 12th of November, 1797, and has been, it is believed,. the recognized line dividing the towns of Riverhead and Brookhaven. By this survey about 1000 acres of land, per- haps more, lying between this line and the" Manor Line," which had been some time previously sold by Col, Wm.. Smith to Isaac Wells, and by him to a company consisting of Samuel Landon, Thomas Youngs, Phineas Fanning, Cravit Wells, Micha Moore, John Stuart, Thomas Conk~ ling, James McCluer, Ezra L'Hommedieu, John Cleves Symmes, Daniel Wells, Jeremiah Wells, Timothy Symmes, Joshua Wells, and Nathan Penny, was virtually placed under the jurisdiction of the town of Southold (now of Riverhead), and has ever since so remained. From the" peperidge tree" the original boundary line of Brookhaven ran due north to the Sound; that left aU the meadows and a large strip of upland. on the east side of the Wading River Creek to Brookhaven, but in 1709 that Town transferred its right to these lands to Southold, and made- a straight line from the head of the brook by the mill-pond SOUTHOLD TOWN RECORDS. 15 to the mouth of the Wading River Creek, the permanent division !ine.-].W.

The first owner that is known after the Youngses is Joseph Prince, by tradition from Boston. It was at his death divided between his sons John and Benja- min, John taking the south half and Benjamin the north. Benjamin's part then came to William, who lived upon it till 182-, when it was bought by M. S. Huntting, and a store and dwelling erected upon the corner at the Main Street. After several changes, the late Lawyer J. Hull Goldsmith purchased it, mapped and sold it in small lots. It is now the centre of the yillage, and covered with perhaps twenty houses and shops.

[NoTE.-Jonathan Horton, the youngest son of 1st Bar- nabas, was born in Southold about the year 16 and died Feb. I7ot. He inherited the homestead of his father, and he maintained, with increasing notoriety, the high stand and fame which his fatl).er had won for it: there tJe closed his days. His father, with his characteristic energy and power to accomplish the plans he conceived, settled each of his four older sons on farms of their own as soon as they reached their majority. Joseph, the eldest son, was placed upon the very desirahle property nOW of Capt. Benj. Coles. Benjamin, the second son, had his first homestead in the spot, rather noted as the residence of the two Benjamin Y oungses, both judges, justices, and town clerks, and after the revolutionary war, from 1786 to 1825, the property of John Franks. Caleb, third son of Barnabas, was settled upon a large farm at Corchaug; and for Joshua, fourth son, his father bought the accommodations of his brother Joseph in 1665, the latter removing to Rye. Jonathan was left, and for fifteen years he lived with his father and relieved him of the management of their over- grown estate. In 1680, upon the death of his father, Jona. than came into possession of all the home lands and con- siderable estate at Hogneck, Corchaug, Occabock, etc. The portion bestowed upon his wife Bethiah, by hel" mother Mary, relict of William Wells, and sole Owner of his estate, swelled largely his fields, his meadows, and his woods. In I7c;>t the west line of his farm on the town street began near the west line at Mrs. H. E. Elmer's house, and ran through to the Sound on a variety of courses; his east line began at the bound between himself and Matthias Corwin's old homestead, near the east line of the Presbyterian Chapel, and by a very angular line reached the Sound a little dis- tance east of Little Pond, embracing the hotel grounds of Patrick Conway, the land adjoining his home place on the east, and embracing Horton's Point, having been subse- quently purchased by some of the Horton family. His Sound shore line extended from Conway's to the east line of Samuel S. Vail's woodlands. Dying, he gave his home lands to his two sons Jonathan and William; they divided, 2d Jonathan taking the old homestead, and all the lands late of 3d Jonathan (son of Lazarus) and of his sons Rensselaer and Jonathan G. Hor- ton. To 1st William fell that part embracing the farm late of 2d William and after him 'of his nephews, Wil- liam, David, and Joshua (sons of his brother U Good Jona- than"), to whom he devised his estate, having no children. . SOUTHOLD TOWN RECORDS. 39 David took the old house and home of the 1st and 2d William, after him his son Joseph Hazard occupied it, and now the latter's son A-zariah owns and occupies it with a fine farm attached to it. William and Laurens, other sons of David, had a share of the estate. A considerable proportion of the estate of 1St Jonathan Horton is now out of the name. D. Philander Horton, son of J. Hazard, is the possessor of th.e old Barnabas home- stead. Jonathan settled his son James (Deacon) on a large farm at Cedar Beach, Hogneck, ,on which this day dwells Gilbert W. Horton, a lineal descendant. Silas and his brother D. Austin still continue, each to occupy a farm formerly of 1St Jonathan Horton on 'the Neck.~J. W. C.] Mr Thomas Moor his Record. I.

Daniel, and grand- son of 1St John, stood in. the front rank of the Tuthills, and as an owner and dealer in real estate much in advance of most of his compeers. In 1752 he \\f!:l.s living at Northside, on the farm late of Zaccheus Goldsmith, now of A. M. Salmon. A deed upon the Records of that date, made by his father, conveys to him all the lands and personal estate of his said father- 2d Daniel and all his family to remove to the Oysterponds, which, the Records adds. "his 1iJtfe would ltO! comply 'With." The Tuthills, the Havenses, and the Terrys, intermarried, and for years bought, sold, and exchanged lands on Shelter Island Hogneck. zd Daniel married Mehetabel Budd, a daughter of John, who died in 1753, when, or soon after, 2d Daniel became, probably through his wife, the owner of the Old Field, or Budd Farm. The late T. Vincent Tuthill remembered well the stories of his grandfather Rufus about the exces- sive hardships which his father's (2d Daniel) iron will and boundless ambition imposed upon himself and his brothers J oho, Peter, and Jonathan in working the 'Old Field Farm.' 2d Daniel owned half of Plum Island and the Gulls, valuable estate in New London, and parcels of land in various places. On his death, in 1768, the Budd or Old Field Farm was divided, Jonathan taking thirty acres of the short lots and some meadows; the other sons settled in Oysterponds.-J. W.

Of the name of Landon, Nathan -is the first that occurs upon the SOUTH OLD RECORDS. On the 20th Nov., 1668, he bought of Edward Patty II all that house lott adjoyning to John Paine on the east, and James Patty on the west;" the same premises now comprise the fine homestead of Wm. B. Vail at the head of the Harbor Lane. 1St Nathan came from near Wales, County of Hereford~ shire, Eng.; he died 9th March, 1718, aged fifty-four; his wife Mary died in qOt; their sons were Nathan, James, and Samuel. To Nathan was left the homestead and other estate by his father, but to satisfy his brother Samuel he made over to him the homestead. Samuel made it his per- manent abode. He married Bethiah Tuthill and had six sons and four daughters. We have not space to speak of each one. In this note we shall confine ourselves chiefly to a brief notice of 1St Nathan, Samuel, Jared, and Henry Landon. Samuel, the son of Nathan, was a man of public noto- riety. He held the office of Justice of the Peace for many years before the Revolution, from 1764 to 1775, eleven years. He was associated with \Vrn. Smith, Hugh Gelston, and others of like repute, a Judge of Common Pleas for the County. He wielded a strong influence in our courts and 84 SOUTHOLD TOWN RECORDS. conventions, and at home was a leader in all town matters. lIe was born 20th May, 1699, and died 21St ]an., 1782. The most prominent of the sons of Samuel and the only one who continued to reside in Southold was Jared. He mar- ried 1St Martha, daughter of eol. Elijah Hutchinson, in 1768. She died leaving one son, Elijah, and two daughters, Mary and Bethiah. Mary married Wm. Hubbard of Guilford. Bethiah died unmarried. Elijah, a promising young man, died young. left daugh- ters Martha and Mary, and a son Samuel H. Martha died young. Mary married Silas Horton. She is dead, but several of her children survive her, and remain at the old homestead at Bayview or Hogneck. Samuel H., a man of fine intellect, the only surviving male of that branch of the Landons, died at the age of forty-three. He married Me. hetable, daughter of Benj. Goldsmith; left several children, all of whom died young except Matilda, who was recently married to E. Hampton Mulford, Esq. Jared, then, in 1778 married 2d Deb. Reeve. She died- no children. He was Surrogate and County Judge about twenty years, and Justice of the Peace over thirty years. He was Member of Assembly nine years; and as a member of the Convention chose presidential electors four times. He lived at the old homestead of his father in Southold until after the Revolutionary War, when he bought the "Corchaug Neck" farm, late of Maj. Parker Wickham, and made that his future home. In March, 178r, he married his 3d wife, Christian Conklin. They had one son, Henry, born 16th July. 1783. He stood well and made good proficiency at the academy at East Hampton for a while; but his nen'es became prostrated, and he was for years forced to abandon all thoughts of mental or bodily labor. Thus his school days ended, and the idea of a collegiate course had to be abandoned; but he was quiet and still; he never murmured. He inherited the estates of his father, and dwelt in the old patrimonial mansion, stilI standing firm and erect. Who was its builder is uncertain-probably, however, Benj. Horton (2d son of Barnabas), who owned this Cor- chaug Neck farm, and died upon it in the year r690; or it may be a memorial mark of the 1st Joseph Wickham, who came into possession of the neck about the year 1699. But there it stands with its broad ornamental chimney and its antique gables, the noblest and the most venerable-looking "old house" in the town. In 1819 he married Mehetable, widow of John Griffing, SOUTHOLD TOWN RECORDS. 85 and soon after purchased the adjacent farm of her late hus- band and resided upon it. Judge Landon was endowed with strong intellectual powers, slow to reach conclusions, but accurate in his decisions. He was a very benevolent man. The Church, the poor and the needy, miss greatly his kind charities. For eleven years he held the office of County Judge, and for twenty-five consecutive years he was Justice of the Peace. Besides these, he held other town and county of- fices. He was the corner-stone of the Democratic party of this town all his lifetime. He died 28th Sept., 1864, aged eighty-one years. For talent, competency, ano standing, this town has never produced such a trio from one family as Samuel, Jared, and Henry Landon.-J. W.

P' Rbt Hempsted Town Clerk * John Parker, styled sometimes Doctor, and often called ~'Fuller," was of the Town of Southampton originally, dwelt therein till near the close of his days, when, as he was buried in the Wickham plot in the cemetery at Mat- tituck, he most likely died at the house of his daughter Abigail, the wife of Joseph Wickbam, Corchaug. His principal business appears to have been that of a fuller of cloth; in 1690 Southampton Town granted him the stream of either Great ,Noyac or Little Noyac to set up a fulling-mill. In 1695 Southampton voted him the stream at Riverhead and all the land between the two rivers, he to build a full. iog-mill_ In 1696 he sold his stream at Noyac for ;{;70. January, 1727, the Record speaks of his dwellingMhouse .at Riverhead, the two rivers, his cedar swamp, etc. He had at one time a grant of the stream at the head of Sag Pond. His business yielded a large profit; the establishment at Riverhead was a great success. From indirect facts from the Records, it appears that he removed from Southampton to Riverhead with his family; perhaps built the old man- -sion, now the residence of John C. Sweezy, and before him for a great many years occupied by Josiah Albertson. Dr. Parker had two children-Abigail, who married Jo~ -seph Wickham, and Mary, who married William Albertson: to them went all his lands, mills, and money.

His wife was Mary, a daughter ()f Benjamin Case. After the Revolution he removed to Tioga County, where he and his son, Judge Henry Wells, founded the vii. lage of Wellsburgh. See Hayes' "Wells of Southold," pp. ,61,195. Abner died 1797, aged sixty.

[NoTE.-The date at the head of this record of land shows conclusively that it canuot be a record of the lands of ~dWilliam. He was born in 1660, and this bears date 1651. The first five parcels are almost verbatim copies of the record of land of his father, 1St William Wells, who entered the record with his own hand, in Lib. A. in 1651; and again in 1667, he being the Town Recorder. 1St William died November, 1671, leaving his two sons, William and Joshua, minors, ~dWilliam only eleven years old, and Joshua still younger. About the year 1683 ()T 1684, ~dWilliam, soon after he became of age, was married, had his portion allotted to him by his mother, and had this record of his own par- ticular lands entered; but unfortunately no date is attaclled. The remaining eight parcels, under date of 1667, are the land apportioned to him by his mother, to whom 1st Wil- liam, dying, gave his whole estate, to be by her distributed at her discretion among the children. Whp owned or oc. cupied the old 1st \Villiam Wells's homestead, after his death, is unknown. Probably his widow and her young children lived there, at least till she married her second hus. band, Thomas Mapes, about 1677, when they went on to the Quasha Neck Farm, and lived there till 2d William be- came of age. He then took possession, built him a house~ and lived and died there, as did also his son 8dWiIliam, and his grandson 4th William. ~dWilJiam died in 1696, leaving a widow, Elizabeth, and sons, William, John, and Henry, and one daughter, Mary.- J.

By the Record here made it 15 shown clearly that 'his homestead at the Oysterponds 14D SOUTHOLD TOWN RECORDS. was upon the south side of the road, near where Seth Tut. hill now lives.

Hobart's house is on the north side of the road nearly opposite Seth Tuthill's. Of one thing we may be sure, viz., that the home of Chalker John Tuthill was at that point or place on the highway either on the north or the south side. He was noted for his shrewdness and general business talents, intelligent and celebrated for his skill in figures and arithmetical calculations. He carried a piece of chalk to work with, and was hence called "Chalker John." In 1693, and for several years after, he was a member of the Colonial Assem bly, Justice of the Peace for a long term of years, and held many town offices. It was through his agency chiefly that the open way from the Main Road to the Harbor was bought and opened in 1691. He was a large landholder. His family history is bare of all particulars of interest. He married, in 1685, Mehetable, daughter of I't Wm Wells. Mr. Griffin names only two of his children, John and Dorothy.

He provided good homes for his sons as they severally mar~ ried; and here we find these recorded instruments, executed in 1690, when he was only 5S years old, dividing and shar- ing with his sons a large part of his estate. He made no will, but instead, without doubt, drew up these papers with his own hand, when in the prime of life, and so made his family comfortable and respected. He was never accused of any lack of duty or zeal in church matters, but was a puritan pure, without much outward demonstration. He and his son Chalker John, were both men of mark in their day.

Salmon.- This lot of land, sold by 2d William, son of 1st John, son of 1st William, who married the widow Sinder- land, is now the property of David Youngs, adjoining on the east the Latham Farm at Orient. He resided at Southold, on the homestead of his father, 1st John; afterwards we find two or three generations of the family living at the Northside, for a hundred years last past the homestead of (1St and) 2d Benj. Goldsmith, now of his sons Davis and Silas M. 524 APPENDIX. See Lib. C, p. 101, and" Printed Southold Town Records," Vol. II. P.207. . BradleJ'.- The Bradleys have slight connection with Southald town history except by intermarriages: they had no farms, no stores, no mills; and although there were a few of the name here for many years, the habits of our people or the climate seemed uncongenial to them, and they all disappeared. Thomas Youngs, son of Col. John Youngs, a man of pro- minence and wealth, married Mary, daughter of Christopher Christophers, and the widow of Peter Bradley, deceased,of New London; she was the mother of this Christopher Bradley, who gives this receipt on page 207 of this Vol. II., "Printed Southold Town Records." He probably resided at Southold with his mother during his minority, and a part of the time after that. Besides~ his aunt, Margaret Christophers, had married Abraham Corey of Southold, which brought the families into frequent intercourse. See Lib."C, p. 95, and" Printed Southold Town Records," Vol. II. p. '98. Abraham Whithere.-He died on his" Hog Pond Farm," at Oysterponds, in 1689; left a widow but no children, and no will except this deed of trust to 1st John Tuthill. Not one of the name is now left in the town. For a full note on "Whither" see" Prinled Southold Town Records," Vol. I.

W. Huntting. The father, 1St John, removed from Southald and died in Westbury, Queens Co., in 1737, and the son, 2d John, died a resident at Setauket in 176S, aged 8s.-Moore's "Index." .APPENDIX. 535 See Lib. C, p. lIO, and" Printed Southold Town Records," V 01. II. p. 222. William Hallioke, lived at Mattituck, on the North Road, where Chauncey Howell now lives. When the Town of Riverhead was set off from the Town of Southold in 1792, the line between Richard Howell, Wm. Hallock, and John' Conklin formed the boundary line between the two towns. See note '00 these premises, " Printed Southold Town Re- cords," Vol. I. pp. 316, 412. See Lib. C, p. 100, and" Printed Southald Town Records," Vol. II. p. 205. Samuel Glover.-" His house lot in town" is evidently a part of the original five-acre home lot of his father, Charles Glover, for a description of which see "Printed South old Town Records," Vol. I. p. 55. Samuel married Sarah, daughter of 1St Thomas Moore; had two children, Samuel and William. He was apparently engaged in the business of building vessels, which w.., the trade of both his father and himself; he continued to reside in Southold for a great number of years-probably till I69Q-when he went on to his Eagle Neck Farm at Oysterponds, where he died on the 29th of May, '715, aged 70. His son, 2d Samuel, then came into possess.ion of the Neck. He was succeeded by his son, 1st Charles, who was followed by his son, 2d Charles, and then by Grover Glover, who died unmarried in r803, and the Neck was sold, 1st Rufus Tuthill, son of 2d Daniel, who was grandson of rst John, becoming the owner. Daniel T. Tuthill, great grandson of 1st Rufus, resides upon, and owns, a large part of the original and somewhat famous Eagle Neck. See Lib. C, p. 209, and H Printed Southold Town Records," VoL II. p. 362. Hutchimon.-Thomas Hutchinson, "late of Lynn," had a deed from John Scott in r660 for lands west of So~thamp- ton, and then in 1662 this deeq from John Concklin for Sau- gust Neck. On January lIth, r665, he married Martha, the widow of 1st Henry Case, who, dying young, left her a homestead, with three children. Hutchinson no doubt lived with her, as he had no house nor home lot, till 2d Henry Case sold him, at her death, the one she had always occupied: it was where Isaac Akerly now lives, on the west town street. The sons of 1st Thomas were three-2d 526 APPENDIX. Thomas, Matthias, and Samuel. 1St Thomas died 1676 to 1683 (Moore's Index). He was a man well educated, and always held a very respectable stand, as did his sons, in the community; they all appear to have been discreet and thrifty in their business matters, constantly accumulating land: 2d Thomas was a farmer, and probably resided on the "Pond Farm," a mile or more west of -the village, always occupied by Samuel, son of 3d Thomas, during his life, and now by his grandson, George H. Terry and Benjamin Corey. 3d Thomas left five 'sons-Thomas, Benjamin, Joseph, Elijah, and Samuel. Of them all, Elijah only left sans,-Wells and Elijah,-who are the only representatives of the once numerous Hutchinsons left. 1St Samuel, son of 1St Thomas, was long in public life: from 1721 to 1737 he was a Repr~sentative in the Colonial Assembly; in 1729 he was appointed by the Governor and Council a judge; he was also a jpstice for many years, and Supervisor for the years 1716,1732,1733, and 1734. We know nothing further of his history. Matthias, after, for a long series of years, buy- ing allotments adjoining each other at Corchaug, built and lived in the" Old Castle House," surrounded by hundreds of acres of fertile lands, and a small squadron of colored help to till them. Henry D. Horton, Pecan ie, occupies the place to-day. Col. Elijah, son of Matthias, inherited and improved the estate until he died in 1754, aged 56 years. He left one son, Matthias, who died, aged 23 years, intestate; and three daughters-Mary, who married Lieut. Moses Case; Elizabeth, who married Abraham Davids; and Martha, who married Jared Landon. The estate was divided between the three daughters. The" Old Castle" homestead was a1. lotted to Martha, and her son Elijah took it as his own,and 1ived there till 1805, when he died. Afterwards Samuel H. son of Elijah, heired the estate, and occupied it some twenty years; he died in 1847. Theron B. Worth next came into possession; he died in 1867, and, as already stated, Henry D. Horton made it his permanent abode. See Lib. C, p. II2, and" Printed Southold Town Records," Vol. II. p. 225. Hunter.-A man from Onslow County, North Carolina, who married Elizabeth, daughter of Barnabas Wines. 'See Lib. C, p. 115, and H Printed Southold Town Records," vol. II. p. 229. Peaken, John.-Came to Southold early; bought a home :Iot by the side of Mr. Elton, on the town street; had a APPENDIX. 527 license to keep an inn. He owned jj Peakens ~eck," now called Great and Little Island, and probably the adjoining lands now owned by the heirs of the late Wm. Wickham. deceased. He appears to have rested here some fifteen or twenty years, when he sold all his possessions and moved away. See Lib. C, p. 122, and" Printed Southold Town Records," Vol. II. p. 364.

Vol. II. pp. 246, 247. zd Henry Cast.-His farm was composed of four twenty- five acre lots, now occupied by Benjamin Moore, Lewis Gold- smith, and the two Williams brot.hers. William, his son (or his grandson), always lived upon the same farm. After the death of William the farm changed owners. \Villiam was a brother of Lieut. Moses Case. See Lib. C, p. 127 and" Printed South old Town Records," Vol. II. p. 250. Great Swamp lies in the rear of the residences of Wm. B. Vail, Jona. B. Terry, and Joshua Payne, at the east end of the village.

Akerly, by the pond at the Fresh Meadows, Cutchog-ue. 528 .APPENDIX. See Lib. C, p. 134, and" Printed Southald Town Records," Vol. II. p. 262. The lands embraced in the deed from Samuel Conkline to his son Joseph lay chiefly in Hashamomack. His old farm-Qouse and outbuildings stood where Paul Brennan's house now stands. James Brown and his family occupied it for a long series of years, and Wells Brown still lives upon a part of the same farm. See Lib. C, p. '37, and" Printed South old Town Records," Vol. II. p. 269. Gardiners of the Isle of Wight.-For note and for papers relating to, see" Printed Southold Town Records," Vo1.1. p. 385. See Lib. C, p. '55, and" Printed Southold Town Records," Vol. II. p. 292. Henry Case-Matthias Hutcllinson.~It is not easy to place the exact relationship that existed between the second gen- eration of the Hutchinsons and 2d Henry Case. 2d Matthias was, without much doubt, son of 1St Thomas, and his mother was Martha, also the mother of zd Henry Case. Matthiasbought lot after lot at Corchaug, till he accumu- lated a large farm called the "Old Castle Farm," now of Henry D. Horton, and Henry Case went perhaps to the " Pond" on the place late of Erastus Moore. A point worth noticing in this conveyance is that Daniel Terry married the widow of Isaac Overton, and came into the occupation of Overton's estate, which was devised to him by his uncle, John Elton. See Lib. C, p. 169 and, "Printed Southold Town Records," Vol. II. p. 3'1. Jcnnings.-This family came late to Southold, and has spread but slowly. They had for their home the place now occupied by Wells and Elijah Hutchinson, formerly bought by their father, Elijah Hutchinson, of Luther Jennings. From 1st Jonathan and 1St Hezekiah all the Jennings family in Southold has originated. About the year 1800 the two brothers, Lazarus and Jonathan, became possessed APPENDIX. 529 of the fine farm of Daniel Booth in the centre of the village. Hezekiah, a son of 2d Jonathan, occupies the part of his father at this time. Only one other of the name (Israel C. Jennings) remains in the town. See Lib. C, p 180, and l( Printed Southold Town Records," Vol. II. p. 325. Mapes, Joseph.-He bought all the accommodations of Thomas Osman at Hashamomack in 1684 (Lib. B, p. 83, or "Printed Southold Town Record," Vol. 1. p. 422; he was living there about 1700. As to his life, his children, and his death, we (for want of facts) pass them by with- out comment. No written line connects Joseph with the two prominent Thomases, although according to time he might, as Mr. Moore says, have been a brother of 1St Thomas. His house was south from the present house of Charles Reeve. See Lib. C, p. 179. and H Printed Southold Town Records," Vol. II. p. 324. John Goldwlitlt.-His first record of his lands in South- old shows his location to have been at Corchaug and his premises to have embraced the lands now occupied by Dr. Henry P. Goldsmith, Morgan Morgans, and others; 168 acres he purchased of \vidow Margaret Cooper and' 160 acres of Robert Norris; he also bought the narrow strip of 5 acres of Mr. Booth lying next west of Joshua Wells his Pooles Neck, and no\v the homestead of the heirs of the late Lawyer Wickham. \Vhen his son 2d John left his farm, as he appears to have done, and moved on to the place ever since in the family, now of Ezra L. Goldsmith, we cannot determine. Some of the Goldsmiths still rested on the Corchaug Farm; Dr. Goldsmith is still occupying a part of it. Both 1St John and 2d John were extensive farmers. At one time they owned the largest number of shares in the town commons of all persons in the town. 1St John was three times married-to Prudence Wines in 1679, to Anna Wells in 1683, and to Elizabath Wells in 1693; he died in April, 1703, leaving a widow, three sons, and six daughters.

Alabin, John.-\Vas a weaver, and had his homestead for some time on Hogneck at the mouth of Goose Creek; a right to wash sheep in the creek was reserved by the in. habitants in this deed to him by J ooathan Mapes in 1696. The family never flourished and spread, and about 1750 the Alabins paid their last taxes and disappeared. Printed Copy, Lib. C, p. T93.-Lib. C, original record, p. 92. POllds and Watering Places.-The most irnperiQus demand upon the first settlers here was a shelter for their families; provisions and mills for the preparation thereof followed; and next came the setting out and securing for their use all the near at hand and accessible ponds, springs, and streams that would furnish a supply of good water for their cattle, horses, and sheep. Every pond and spring along the King's Road from Oys- terponds to Riverhead was exempted from allotment, and set out and marked as town property. Travellers also, as the population increased (inns being very rare), made great -use of these ponds and brooks to water their teams. Every pond in 1640 was fringed all around with alders and bilberry bushes and maples; that at Mattituck was, and is to this day, remarkably picturesqu6 and beautiful. Little Pond by the Sound at Horton's Point sits like' a May Queen, embow- ered in trees and flowers, forever looking out upon the blue waters of the Sound; and Great Pond, a little farther west, deep and full of fish, has many attractive features. But we have not space to name them "all. The parcel of upland mentioned in this deposition of 1St John Tuthill in 1704 was lying on the west side of the Bow- ery Lane around and near the pond called Akedy's Pond, between W m. Turner's house and the Long Island Railroad, and probably extended southerly and easterly quite a dis- tance. Samuel \Vines was then living upon the land in front of the house of J. Halsey Tuthill, and Joseph Reeve was located upon the old Reeve homestead where Mr. Tal- mage lives. Mr. Tuthill then speaks of the" Cauchauk Pond" with a sufficient quantity of land round the Sd pond for watering of cattle and other conveniences; and adds, "also all the land from ye Fresh Meadow Pond to y6 high- way southward." This shows clearly that he called the pond lying mostly on the farm of Samuel Hutchinson, late APPENDIX. 531 deceased, and partly on the farm of Erastus "Moore late de- ceased, the" Corchaug Pond," and the pond on the farm of the late Daniel Webb deceased, at Cutchogue, as the ., Fresh Meadow Pond." And in further confirmation we might cite the record of Thomas Mapes (see Lib. A. p. 9) of his mea- dow " All that meadowe or marsh ground from the end of the first creek in the way of going towards Curchaug, there being a fresh pond a small space above the head thereof." This "first creek" above named could be no other than the creek in front of the house of the late Samuel Hutchin- son deceased. And the deposition closes saying : "Also a pond commonly called ye Great Pond with six pole of land upon ye west end for the use as above mentioned." The King's Road at Mattituck ran originally on the south side of the pond, and the first of the Reeve family who set- tled there placed their houses on the strip of land lying between the road and the pond; but in I7I3 the commis. sioners appointed to layout roads through the island changed the highway from the south to the north side of the pond. At Mattituck, as elsewhere throughout the town, care was taken that the larger sections should be provided with a strip or tongue of land by which the cattle pasturing on the respective allotments should have access to the ponds. Wm. Wells, Philemon Dickerson, the Wineses, and some others had a privilege of the waters of the pond. Duck Pond, at the Sound, north of the Cutchogue de- pot, then a large pond and a highly.prized watering-place, was made to accommodate the cattle feeding upon several large farms in its vicinity; but the land around it is now nearly all of it under cultivation, the water is not good, and the pond is not so highly valued as formerly. No stream or pond on the road within the bounds of the old Southold patent has been so steadily and universally used as a watering- place as the Saw Mill Brook, a crys- tal stream of water running across the King's Highway, abo'ftt a mile eastward of the village of Riverhead. See Lib. C, p. 216, and 'f Printed Southold Town Records," Vol. II. p. 369. John Reez.'e.-His home lot, which he here records, appears to be a part of the home lot of Thomas Reeve, so recorded in 1656. It is the west part of the lot of the late Edward Huntting, who was the successor of the Rev. Jonathan Hunt- ting, at the west end of. the village; but the 150 acres of 532 APl'E:'(DIX. lands described in the deeds of the Brown brothers dated 169t were in Corchaug, bounded by the King's Highway south, and the Sound or North Sea north. The farm of Alanson Hallock now covers the south part on the high- way, and P. Smith Moore occupies the farm on the north, along the Sound shore. Since 1700 the central section has been occupied by the Reeves. 1St \Valter died there, an aged man, in 1791 ; 2d \Valter spent his days there, dying in 185 I, aged 83 years. Since his death the place has chang- ed owners several times. See Lib. C, p. 231, and" Printed South old Town Records," Vol. II. p. 387. Benjamin, Joseph, and Micah Moore.-rst Benjamin Moore was the son of 1St Thomas Moore of Southold. He was a shipmaster. His first homestead was the east part of the place of Samuel S. Vail, uut he resided longest on the east ,corner of the road that leads to the Oysterponds; he died before 1696, intestate, and his oldest son, Joseph, heired his large estate: he too was a mariner. On the death of his father, having no doubt a home of his own, he gave the homestead of his father to his brother 2d Benjamin; from him the home went to his son, Dr. Micah Moore, who lived upon it, practising medicine, till he died in 1775: he married first, Jerusha Howell in 1739; they had 14 children, all of whom died young, except Polly, who married a Webb- she died 1833. Dr. Moore married, second, Abigail, widow of John Ledyard: she \vas the daughter of Justice Robert Hempstead. Had three daughters: Julia died the widow -of Matthias Case in 1855, aged 88; Hannah died the widow of 'Capt. JOlla. Landon in J833, aged 68; Phebe married, first, Jos. 'Vickham. Dr. Moore died 1775, aged 62: he was quite eminent in his profession, and an esteemed citizen. Abigail, \vho died his widow in 1805, was remarkable for her powers Df mind and her daring. John Ledyard, the traveller, who died in Egypt, was her son. She was the only one at that day, that ventured to open her doors to the Methodist preachers-consecrated her house to their use and her means and her life to their service. See Lib. C, p. 145, and" Printed Southold Town Records," V 01. II. p. 278. Hasllamomack.-Hashamomack, in its organization and its government, was, from the time of its ch~lrter and its occu- pation by Sinderland, and by Salmon,-who married Sin- APPENDIX. 533 derland's widow in I649,-entirely separate and distinct from the Town of Southold. It afforded a fine specimen of pure democracy: everyone had a voice in the regulation of their affairs; they were not amenable to any legal home jurisdic- tion or control, paid no town taxes, asked for no counsel, accepted no dictation, and listened to no advice beyond what they heard from Pastor Youngs and the pulpit. But in 1662 the inhabitants of this isolated community asked to become complete townsmen-they to retain their lands en- tire, to pay rates, not to common with us on this side Toms Creek. These stipulations were fulfilled on both sides for 74 years, when the inhabitants divided or set off the lots here described and a small piece of" comon land" east of David Corey's house,-now of Daniel Thomas,-leav- ing a small common on the Sound shore for a common priv- ilege to the Sound. No one using this common beach very often, the commoners, always vigilant, began to occupy the beach as their own. No one cared enough about it to con- test the right of ownership. The inhabitants of Hashamo- mack enjoyed the beach for 168 years and were then sued as trespassers, and the courts decided that the defendants had lost their title for want of a continuous possession. The decision may have been according to law, but it is dif- ficult to discover its equity. See Lib. C, p. 309, and" Printed South old Town Records," Vol. II. p. 477. Also, Lib. A. p. 33, and" Printed Southold Town Records," Vol. I. p. 77. King.-Although many important links are missing in the history of the King family of this town, still a great many facts of interest are lying around here and there in a tangled state, the confusion increased by errors and misstatements made in the professed attempt to enlighten us. In order to place us right, at least on a few controverted points, we venture to allot a brief space for a note, seemingly well au- thenticated, sent to me for publication from Rufus King, Esq., of Yonkers. of the Orient King family: "1St Samuel King of Southold was born in England in 1633, and died at Oysterponds [Orient], L. I., Nov. 29, '721. A well-preserved gravestone in the old churchyard at Orient marks his last resting-place. He was not the son of John King as stated in Moore's" Indexes of Southold," but of William and Dorothy Kinge, who emigrated from the port of Weymouth, England, in March, 1635, and were among the early settlers at Salem, Mass., in that year." 534 APPENDIX. "1St Samuel King married Abigail, daughter of William Ludlam, Sen., of Southampton, L, 1., and became the father of a numerous family. Among his descendants was the late Hon. Elisha W. King, of New York City." See Lib. C, p. 314, and" Printed Southold Town Records," Vol. II. p. 486. Indian Neck.-After obtaining agrant or a d~ed or a title of some kind from a government which claimed jurisdic- tion over the country, our first settlers proceeded to extin- guish the right of the natives to the soil. In making these grants or releases the Indians almost in- variably made such reservations as they deemed necessary and essential to their comfort and support: the use of spe- cified parcels of land~timber, swamps, fishing, fowling, and hunting-covered most of their wants. A direct reservation was made in the deed of Paukhamp, Indian sachem, and Ambusco, to William Salmon in 1645, for Hashamomack, of "two ,swamps, one caHed Poyhas \Veakewanopp, and a parcel of land thereunto adjoyning, called Mantoobaugs." See Vol. 1.," Printed Southold Town Records," p. 208. These reservations were generally short and indefinite, often verbal, and perhaps nevt'r reduced to writing at all. In 17 19 the town ordered Indian Neck to be surveyed and laid out, and allotted _ to the freeholders entitled to it; and it was done. The Indians were not satisfied, and claimed the entire use and control of the Neck under a grant made to them by the town on the 3d of August 1685, fur the' Southarbor Neck, which they afterwards exchanged for Indian Neck, but no written grant of ex- change. In 1763 ,the owners oi' present possessors of these two Necks appointed Jonathan Horton, \V. Nicoll, and Robt. Hempsted a committee to examine into the right of the Indians to these places. They report (Lib. D, Southold Town Records, p. 218) that they find a grant to the In- dians from the inhabitants of the town on the 3d of Au- gust, 1685, for Southarbor, and the same since exchanged for Indian Neck land, but no written grant of exchange for the same; and that the Indians have possessed and improved said Indian Neck lands since 1690 at times, un- til about seventeen years ago. Accompanying this report are two depositions of so much interest, and throwing so much light upon the con- APPENDIX. 535 clition and the life of the Indians of Indian Neck, that we copy them: "SO:hOld} 1763. Jonathan Horton aged seventy nine years and five months, being sworn upon the Holy Evangelists deposeth: The Indians were Inhabitants of the Neck called the indian land-I drove the teem to plow for them when I was young-their field was wore aute as if they had lived there many years:-BLit in a few years by death and removes they were all gone:-the Surveyors laid that neck in a division by itself." " So:hold } 1763. Richard Terry being nearly fourscore years old, and of sound mind and memory, declareth, that up- ward of sixty years since. he drove plow for his father on the lands called Indian Neck:-that his father was hired by the Indians to plow said, lands, and that the said In~ dians did improve said neck till about seventeen years ago: -they planted a nursery and an orchard and buried ,their dead on s.1 Neck, and he often heard the old Indians say that they exchanged Southarbor lands for Indian Neck lands. ,'4 So:hold, 31st 'May 1763 sworn before me, ISAAC HUBBARP, Justice." Kate, a slave of my grandfather, Lieut. Mos~s Case, who was born about 1730 and died at the age of 90, said that when she was a girl she knew several Indian families living around the Necks,-especiallyone named Yoopsag, who had her hut in the squaw lot at Southarbor: the hole scooped in the ground where the wigwam stood remains there to this day,-but that they kept disappearing, till she remem. bered none left. Indian Neck was from its situation a choice spot for the home of an Indian: it 'is half surrounded bv the tide.wa- ters of the Peconic Bay, has Hutchinson's ~Creek on the north 'and 'the Broadwaters Creek on the south. From Hutchinson's'Creek westerly the line ran along the north. erly boundary lines of the farms of John C. Appleby, Benj. L. Penny, and the late Wm. B., Horton, to the high~ way leading to the Broadwaters Creek, which forms a part of its westerly and southerly boundary, and which separates it from Little Hogneck. . The neck covers an area of some 500 acres. On the east- erlyend the soil is light, and covered with a dense forest of 536 APPENDIX. oak and hickory, and a magnificent growth of large cedars. The central and westerly part is a heavy loam, and is oc- cupied by several fine productive farms. And when we remember that it was the first land set off to them, and that it has ever since been regarded by them as their Mecca; when we consider that it was their home for a hun- dred years-that here repose the bones of their dead, and here are more memorials of their former life preserved than in any other place in the town,-we feel that it is a consecrated spot, and. ever to be revered for i is associations. See Lib. A, p. 42, and H Printed Southold Town Records," Vol. r. p. 98. Osman and Osborn,- These two names became confounded on the Town Records in 1778, the name being written Osmatt by the Town Clerk when he ~hould have written it Osborll. The history of Thomas Osman, given in the note in Vol. I., "Printed Southold Town Records," p. 98, is correct up to the sale of the accommodations of Thomas Osman at Hashamomack in 1684. Then all connection between the families and the names ceases, and the remainder of the note applies solely to 1st Daniel Osborn (and his descendants), who came to Southold and married Mehitable Wines about 1734, and who traces his lineage by a clear family record to 1st Thomas Osborn of East Hampton. 2d Daniel Osborn, the lawyer, practised in this county, living at Cutchogue, and dying, left sons John, Daniel, Jos. eph, William, Hull, Thomas, and Barnabas, and daughters Amelia and Abigail. See Vol. 1., "Printed Records," p. 98. See Lib. C, p. 7, and" Printed Southold Town Records," p. 129. Arnold.-Isaac Arnold settled at Southold as a merchant, at the head of Town Creek, about 1660, and under the auspices and in connection with the Sylvesters and the Gyles' of Shelter Island he embarked in the West India trade to a considerable extent. His intelligence and his character for reliability called him often to the discharge of the duties of a delegate, committee-man, executor, etc. He was always in office-judge, justice, or sheriff, and a patentee of the town in 1676. See Dr. Whitaker's" South- old," p. 86. Col. Arnold's home lot at the head of the creek was es. timated to contain three acres, but it was probably less. He was accorded a piece of the common land ing for his APPENDIX. 537 warehouse, besides a small strip from Col. Youngs and another from mariner John Youngs for his house and gar- den. R. L. Peters now owns the land; the warehouse, the wharves, etc., having long since nearly disappeared. Col. Arnold was a cousin of the Sylvesters, of Shelter Island, and in constant intercourse and connection with them in their commercial enterprises. Nathaniel Sylves- ter, a rich and extensive importer and merchant, died in ]680, and in his will named Col. Arnold the first of the truste€s of his immense estate. In 1684 second John Budd, of Rye, Conn., formerly of Southold, died, possessed of a large inheritance, and con- stituted Col. Arnold and John Tuthill, Sen., his trustees and executors, leaving a large residue of the estate to be divided among his children according" to their discretion." Col. Arnold left a son Nathaniel, born November 25,1699; and a son Isaac, born December 26, 1701, and perhaps John (Moore's, Index). He had also a daughter, Rachel, who married Thomas Hunt, and another, Mary, who married Carteret Gillam; she took the homestead when Col. Arnold died, in N ovem- ber, 1706. The name of Arnold has not been on the town tax. list nor among our voters for probably nearly one hundred years past. See Liber C, p. 88, "Printed Southold Town Records," Vol. II. p. ,85. Plum Islalld.-It does not appea,r, from the earliest his- torical mention which we have of Plum Island, that it was included in the first purchases by the town from the Indians. Certainly for many years after the town was first settled there is no proof that it exercised any jurisdiction over the island. It was settled, however, by the agreement in 1650 between the Dutch and the English, that it belonged to the latter. In 1659 the title was first acquired of the Indians by Samuel WyIlys of Hartford. \Ve have a confirmation deed thereof made to Wyllys by Wyandank, the Montauk sachem, dated April 27, 1659, at Gardiner's Island-consid- eration "a coat, a barrel of biskitt, a 100 muxes or fish hooks." A full copy of the deed may be found in Thomp- son's History (2d ed., Vol. 1. P..387). In 1663 an assess- ment of property was made in the province of New York, and the Town of Southold and Plum Island were assessed in- two separate items-the former at ..-6642 19s. lod., the 538 APPENDIX, latter at LI3 2S. od. This distinction is only one of 'many indications that it was not then looked upon as a constitu- ent part of the Township of Southold proper. The jurisdic- tion of New York over it, however, was still further con- firmed by the boundary agreement between that colony and Connecticut, 30th November, 1664, whereby it was es- tablished that the south line of the latter colony should be the sea or Sound. An entry relating to this island first ap- pears, 28th of August, 1665, in our Town Records (see Vol. I. p. 246, of the Printed Copy). In this a claim to Plum Island by the inhabitants of Southold is asserted, and seem- ingly based upon the law of peaceable possession. There is no proof of such possession, and we cannot regard the entry other than a fictitious claim made for the purpose of basing a title upon it, and thus obtaining an inequitable ownership. The first two purchases by the town of the Indians did not include as much territory as was desired, and so, on the 7th of December, 1665, a new Indian deed was obtained, containing a larger description of lands (see Dr. Whitaker's" History," p. 201; also, Deed, Vol. I. p. 249, Printed Records): Although' this deed includes in its description Plum Island, it is certain that it did not pass a good title to it. Wyandank's deed to Wyllys was prior in date, and his conveyances of Indian lands were always regarded in those days as superior in respect of force and equity to those emanating from other aboriginal occupants of the eastern end of Long Island (see Wood, p. 64). The town seems to have still persisted in its assumption of ownership, for at a town meeting held March 19, 1665-6, it was agreed that every man should have a share in Plum Island, etc. The dividends having thus been made, the shareholders seem to have been easily induced to part with their new possession; for on May 22, 1666, twenty-one of them sold out to John Youngs (see Vol. I. p. ,60, Printed Records). As might readily be expected, no covenant of warranty went with the deed. By another deed of the same date and exactly similar in form, thirty-five other shareholders sold to Mr. Youngs. And this was the end of it. The town title was worthless in its inception, and Mr. Youngs had the good sense to let the farce of pretended ownership stop with himself. In 1674 Gov. Andros issued a patent to Mr. \Vyllys, confirming his title to Plum Island (see Moore's "Index"). . This was, indeed, clinching the nail which Southold even before that had not been able to draw. Samuel WyIlys was a man of very high position in the Connecticut colony, and especially during the adminis- APPENDIX. 539 tration of Gov. Winthrop. Gov. Andros, Oct. 31, 1676, issued his patent to Arnold and others in behalf of the town (ante, p. 8). Plum Island is included in the de. scription, but the patent only goes to the length of es- tablishing the civil jurisdiction of the township over such island, and in no wise attempts to disturb established titles to land. Witness the exact language of its provisional clause, and how carefully it renders itself exactly con- sistent with the prior patent to Mr. Wyllys of Plum IsI. and. The deed of confirmation by the said patentees to the town bears date 27th December, 1676 (ante, p. I I). It is said that about 1688 Mr. Wyllys sold Plum and Gull Islands to Joseph Dudley of Roxbury, Mass. Ce rtain it is, however, that we have the statement of one Samuel Hagaburne, in which he speaks of the claim of Col. Joseph Dudlev to Plum Island, and which was entered of record 31st October, 1698 (ante, p. 367). This Joseph Dudley was a person of much distinction, serving as Governor of Mas~ sachusetts from 1702 to 1715. Some authorities, however, entirely ignore the ownership of the island by Dudley. At the least it is safe to assume that the title passed from either Wyllys or Dudley into the Beebe name some- where about 1700. In the absence of record proof, it is difficult to reconcile the conflicting statements as to whether Joseph Beebe the father or Samuel Beebe the son first took the title. This at least seems clear. that Samuel Beebe the son ultimately became the owner. Mr. Griffin tells us that the eastern part of Plum and also the Gull Islands were owned by Dea. Daniel Tuthill as early as about 1720. In 1746 Dea. Daniel Tuthill deeded to his son Daniel the easterly half of Plum Island, being 300 acres, more or less, and afterwards he conveyed to the same all of his lands (ante, pp. 51,61). The W'esterly portion of the island be- ing in the ownership of 2d Samuel Beebe about 1750, he subsequently deeded portions of it to his sons, to wit: Fifty acres to Theophilus, April 2, 1761 (ante, p. 185); fifty acres to Silas, April 2, 1761 (ante, p. 220); fifty acres to Amon, February 8, 1763 (ante, p. 187). There is also a deed from 3d Samuel to Silas of five aCI"eS, dated October 23, 1770 (ante, p. 232). December 7. 1763, 3d Samuel, EI- nathan, Theophilus, Silas, and Amon divided the Cedar Swamp and II The Pines" between them (ante, p. 197). 2d Daniel Tuthill having devised all his lands on Plum Island to his sons Peter and Rufus, they, on July 31, 1772, divided the same between them. The foregoing affords an abstract of all the important conveyances in our Town Rec- 540 APPEXDIX. ords, and brings the chain of title (so far as the scattered links could be picked up) to the beginning of our county records of lands, and with them the work of the convey- ancer rather begins, while the scope of this sketch may be said to end. In the Revolution, Gardiner's Bay was a con- tinued rendezvous of the enemy's ships of war, and the island was greatly exposed to British insult and depreda~ tion. On August 7. 1775, the enemy's boats attacked Rufus Tuthill while landing sheep from the Island, drove him away, and took his boat and twenty of his sheep. On the 18th of the same month" Congress recommends the re~ moval of the cattle and sheep from Gardiner's and Plum Islands." The island contains about 800 acres, and on its northern side is rocky and hilly. Some of its soil is of good quality, but in an agricultural view it is perhaps best adapted for grazing. It is understood that, by recent pur~ chases from Mr. John Jerome and others, the whole island has this year (r884) passed again into the hands of a sin- gle proprietor. Its natural beauty of location and unsur~ passed facilities for fowling, fishing, and all aquatic sports, must ever render it a delightful place of rest and recrea- tion.

Sluiter Isllltld.-This town ill its earliest stages of set~ tlement associated itself with Southold so far as to recog- nize their Books as the proper place for the record of deeds and valuable papers, and to meet (not to vote) with them at their Annual Town Meeting. The proof of the delivery of the deed of Y okee, Sachem of Shelter Island, to Capt. Nathaniel Sylvester and Ensign John Booth, by turf and twig, for the entire island in r652 may be found in: Lib. A, Southold Town Records, p. 74, or in Printed Southold Town Records, Vol. I. p. 158. The pages 7r, 72, and 73 of Lib. A have all been despoiled of their contents. They consisted of one deed from the Indians and two deeds from Stephen Goodyeare-all of them making Constant and Nathaniel Sylvester and others the grantees. \Ve find also the deposition and complaint of Capt. Deakins, of the "Ship Goulden Parrett," taken before Wm. Wells in a suit against Nathaniel Sylvester, in r657: Also the penitential recantation of Giles Sylvester. In r699 the deed of Nathaniel Sylvester and Mary his APPE:\D!X. 541 wife to George Havens for 1000 acres of land on Shelter Island was entered upon the Southold Town Records by Benjamin Y Dungs, Town Clerk. Many other deeds follow. To show further the intimacy and relationship between the two towns, in 1719 Jonathan Hudson and William Paine of Shelter Island each brought cats and foxes, old and young, and received the bounty. In 1730 they organized as a town, elected a full set of officers, and have tver since kept up their organization. From its first occupation the island has been in the pas- session of cultivated and intellectual people, who have had a keen perception of the picturesque and beautiful. Within the last half-century the island has come greatly into notice and increased in popular favor, more perhaps through the broad and liberal spirit manifested by Prof. Horsford in the management of his large domain, and the great improvements made by the Prospect Park Company, than through all other sources beside.
