PREFACE.

This second volume of the Records ot 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 Southold 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 Southold, 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 Records 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 estabHshment 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 of the
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 Liber 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 Liber 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.

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, errata 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.
William A. Cochran,
Town Clerk.

[Note. — Barnabas Horton did not sign the confirmationi

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. George R.
Howell, of the State Library at Albany, discovered 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 an antient Seate of sa-
chemship — time out of minde; but the first in his time did
possesse the upland and meadow on the swamp side of the
head of the River being in the West end of the Bay^z/if
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. 1 3
And Paucump further testifies 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
ilots 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, " 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 pre
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 quasi -owners 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
1667 the two Towns, through a committee from eacfi,
-agreed to use the meadows equally between them until a
ifinal 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." " Southampton Towns
part of said meadows to begin at the said Spring, and from
thence Eastward 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 i^° west, 432 ch. 40 1., to the "peperidge tree" at
Wading River. This last line was run by Hull Osborn, Esq.,
on the i2th 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 all 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

[Note. — On the death of Mary, widow of the Rev. John
Youngs, in 1678, her son Benjamin became the owner of the
homestead. How long he or his heirs continued to retain
possession cannot be ascertained. No deed for it entire is
upon the records. 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 village, and covered with perhaps twenty
houses and shops. The large and handsome M. E. church
stands upon the northwest corner. The south half still
remains in the possession of the Prince family, Benjamin
L. Prince being the present occupant and owner. — J. W. C]

[Note. — Jonathan Horton, the youngest son of ist Bar
nabas, was born in Southold about the year i6 and died
Feb. 170^. He inherited the homestead of his father, and
he maintained, with increasing notoriety, the high stand
and fame which his father had won for it: there he 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 desirable 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
Youngses, 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 her mother
Mary, relict of William Wells, and sole owner of his estate,
swelled largely his fields, his meadows, and his woods. In
170.I 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 ist 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 " 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 ist and 2d
William, after him his son Joseph Hazard occupied it, and
now the latter's son Azariah 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 ist Jonathan
Horton is now out of the name. D. Philander Horton, son
of J. Hazard, is the possessor of the 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 ist Jonathan Horton on the
Neck.— J. W. C]

[Note. — 2d Daniel Tuthill, son of Dea. Daniel, and grand
son of ist 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 was 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 wife would not comply with."
The Tuthills, the Havenses, and the Terrys, intermarried,
and for years bought, sold, and exchanged lands on Shelter
Island Hogneck.
2d 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 vvhich his father's (2d Daniel) iron will and
boundless ambition imposed upon himself and his brothers
John, 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. C]

him, Lib. A, p. 7, in 1653. Joseph sold it to his father, ist Bar

Barnabas at once bestowed it upon his fourth son Joshua,
who there spent the residue of his days. He was a car
penter, had apprentices, and worked at his trade; yet he
and his sons managed a large farm successfully. They
owned and early cultivated the farms, now of Eli W. Howell,
of Lewis Tuthill, and of Azariah Horton, then lying in a
body. He was a lieutenant in the militia and a deacon in the
church. He was probably clerk and treasurer also; for on
the books of 2d Jona. Horton I find this entry: " Nov. 5.
1716 — then uncle Joshua Horton came to my house and
weighed of the Church's money, 3. 16. 9." He died in 1729,

[ Note. — Of the ist Thomas Terry and of his family, al
though we have many facts, and his will, we have only a
broken and fragmentary history. Of the oldest son, Thomas,
who went to Oysterponds, we can trace the most of his
children and descendants with comparative accuracy. But
of this son Daniel we have very little written account. He
had, it appears, in i68f, possession of the homestead, for
merly his father's; not long afterwards, the house of Daniel
Terry, as named in an instrument upon the Records, stood
where Charles H. TutthiU lives, at the head of the Bowery
Lane. But it is supposed by John P. Terry and others of
the family, that after 1711, when 2d Thomas and Daniel
had completed their peculiar agreement and terms of divi-
¦ sion of their estate, that Daniel, and perhaps his sons and
the sons of 2d Thomas, went on to their Occabauk Lands,
a large tract running from the Sound to the Bay, on which,
at the Frog Ponds, north of the Steeple Church at Aque-
bogue, they built their houses and dwelt, and where their
Terry descendants dwell this day. — J. W. C]

afterwards in Lib. C, p. 22, covers that entire south-west
point, the Sound north and the creek and the harbor south,
for a long period owned by him and his sons, and shows
the first record of ownership to be found. We are with
out positive dates as to the time of the settlement of
Richard Brown or of John Tuthill at Oysterponds; the in
ference from the papers we have is that it was not before-
1660, and probably nearer 1670 than the former date.
Brown sold his last homestead in Southold, in 1665, to
Elnathan Topping. Tuthill sold his to Jacob Corey in 1667..
Then John Tuthill went and builded his house, and Brown
with great liberality gave him " six acres of land where his.
house standeth."
The statements of Griffin and of Thompson as to the
purchases of Hallock, and the settlements by the Browns,
Tuthills, and Youngs, only add to our complete confusion
in the matter. They should be wholly^ ignored. — J. W. C.Ji

[Note. — Not from the Index of Mr. C. B. Moore, nor

John Paine (probably ist) made a record of his lands in
1663, but omits any mention of his homestead. It is very
'doubtful if heeys'' owned the home lot above described.
John Paine, Jun., about 1679, records this same lot as

" eighteen acres of woodland," given him by his brothei
Peter, son of Peter, deceased. John Paine, Jun., was not,
therefore, the son of ist John, but of ist Peter Paine.
John Paine, Jun., was a mariner, and from several facts
we infer that he was upon the sea nearly all his lifetime
He was constantly purchasing land, and accumulated a
large estate. He built upon and dwelt in the homestead
above described, as did several of the generations succeed
ing him. In 1696, an Indian named Keiape was sold by an
order of the court, at Martha's Vineyard, to serve seven
years, and John Paine bought him. — J. W. C]

[Note. — Landon. Of the name of Landon, Nathan is
the first that occurs upon the Southold Records. On the
20th Nov., 1668, he bought of Edward Patty " 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.
ist Nathan came from near Wales, County of Hereford
shire, Eng.; he died 9th March, 1718, aged fifty-four; his
wife Mary died in 1701; 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 ist 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 Wm. 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.
He was born 20th May, 1699, and died 21st Jan., 1782. The
most prominent of the sons of Samuel and the only one
who continued to reside in Southold was Jared. He mar
ried ist Martha, daughter of Col. 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, 1781, he married his 3d wife, Christian Conklin,
They had one son, Henry, born i6th July, 1783. He stood
well and made good proficiency at the academy at East
Hampton for a while; but his nerves 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, still 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 1690; or it
may be a memorial mark of the ist 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, and standing, this town has never
'produced such a trio from one family as Samuel, Jared, and
Henry Lafldon. — J. W. C] [Abstract]

* 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 Wickham, 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
ing-mill. In 1696 he sold his stream at Noyac for ;^7o.
January, 1727, the Record speaks of his dwelling-house
at Rivevhead, 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
.Rive,rhead 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 Wickhaip, and Mary, who married William Albertson;
to them went all his lands, mills, and money.

[Note. — The date at the head of this record of land shows
conclusively that it cannot be a record of the lands of
"*William. 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, ist William Wells, who entered
the record with his own hand, in Lib. A, in 165 1; and
again in 1667, he being the Town Recorder, ist William
died November, 1671, leaving his two sons, William and
Joshua, minors, ''*William only eleven years old, and Joshua
still younger. About the year 1683 or 1684, °*William, 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 attached.
The remaining eight parcels, under date of 1667, are the
land apportioned to him by his mother, to whom ist Wil
liam, dying, gave his whole estate, to be by her distributed
at her discretion among the children. Who owned or oc
cupied the old ist William 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 2* William be
came of age. He then took possession, built him a house,.
and lived and died there, as did also his son °*William,
and his grandson '"^ William. ''*William died in 1696,

was a boy of 8 years of age when his father died. His
father made no disposition of his property among his chil
dren, but delegated that power to his wife, to be used at
her discretion. As a homestead, she gave to "William
Quasha Neck — adding Little Hogneck, and as an equiva
lent she gave to 'Joshua Pooles Neck. See Southold Town
Printed Records, pp. 264-5. He married Hannah, daughter
of John Tuthill, and sister to Elizabeth, the wife of his
brother ''William. He was a carpenter, and an extensive
farmer also. He also found time for a great many years to
sit in judgment and administer justice. His family was
comprised of himself and wife, and fourteen children. His
son ''Joshua succeeded him on the farm; he diverged
from the ordinary track, leaving his homestead, not to his
oldest son 'Joshua, but to his 3* son John. The Neck is
still in the family through female inheritors, Henry L. Fleet
being the owner. 'Joshua was buried in the old South-

[Note.— John Tuthill, jfun. By the Record here made
it is shown clearly that his homestead at the Oysterponds

was upon the south side of the road, near where Seth Tut
hill now lives. Mr. Griffin, in his Journal, says that about
1796 his old house was taken down and a new one built,
and that ." W"" S. Hobart now owns the place.".
Hbbart'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 CoIoniaL Assembly, 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 J685,
Mehetable, daughter of le' W" Wells. Mr. Griffin names
only two of his children, John and Dorothy. " Hollow
John" is always spoken of as his son. He died in Nov.,

[Note. — John Tuthill, Sen., son of Henry, is the first
Tuthill of whom we have any knowledge as a settler and
land-owner in Southold. He bought the home lot of George
Miller in Feb., 1656. He was then 21 years old. His mother
Bridget, widow of Henry, was probably living here about
1650, and her children, John and his sister Elizabeth, min
ors with her. The mother Bridget married ist W"" Wells,
1650 to 1653. John, Sen., in 1657 married Deliverance King,
a sister of Samuel, who after living next door to his brother-
in-law John, in Southold, moved to Oysterponds and settled
by the side of his friend. Of the father of John Senr's wife
(said to be John) I can find no reliable data.
That he was a man of broad and liberal views is shown
'in the general management and settlement of his children.
He had had the judgment and good sense to satisfy and

please, while at the same time he ruled very decisively.
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 55 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 c^ 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. John, Sen., died in 1717, leaving sons, John,
Henry, Daniel, and Nathaniel. For further particulars of
his history, see Printed Town Records, Vol. I. p. 49.—

[Note. — This laying out and division of 6 acres of land,
consisting of ^\\ shares, in the commons, among 36
owners, cannot be supposed to be correct. An error, or
perhaps omission, occurred in the entry of the heading,
which should have read 160 acres (or some other large
number), instead of 6 acres, the tract to be laid out embrac
ing some 200 acres or more. It was bounded, as I under
stand it, by the Hogneck Road, after leaving the Town
bridge, till you reach the land of Freegift Wells, now of his
descendants Sidney and George C. Wells, and then follow
ing the northwesterly line of Freegift Wells' farm from the
Hogneck Road to the Southarbor Lane, then southerly
down the lane till it reached the lane at Maltby's. On that
line a lane had been laid down running from the apex of
W™ L. Glover's lot straight over to Hutchinson's Creek,
which line exists unbroken to this day; it constitutes the
northern boundary lines of the farms of Jasper Freeman,
Jona. S. Overton, and Wells and Elijah Hutchinson; and the
southern boundaries of George M. Howell, S. B. Corey, and
Chas. E. Overton. From the southeast corner of Mr. Over

[Note. — Israel and David Parshall, above named, were
sons of James Parshall, who married Elizabeth, the only
daughter of David Gardiner, who lived on the Pesapunck
Neck, at Mattituck, and afterwards became the 2* proprie
tor of Gardiner's Island. Of the Parshalls we have no ac
count. James, who styles himself "Gent of the Isle of
Wight," with his wife figures conspicuously in the settle
ment of his father-in-law's estate.
He owned and occupied large tracts of land at Aque
bogue, lived upon the North Road, and left his estate to
his sons Israel and David. The name of Parshall is not
now, we believe, to be found in Southold or even in River
head Town. — J. W. C.J

Great Pond, beginning at or near the east line of the farm
of J. Halsey Tuthill, and from the Pond it runs easterly

thence goes straight across the beach to the Sound; the
Sound thence, on westerly to the lands of J. Halsey Tut
hill forms its northerly boundary — 100 acres, and perhaps
more, being included within the said boundaries. The

The tract oi- parcel of land described in this deed began
on the North Road at .the house of Horatio N. Booth, and
ran along the road westerly to the Bowery Lane, then fol
lowing the lane easterly to the Ake,rly pond, and frora
tbeace northerly and easterly across by the rear of the
home lots to Tuckc'r's Lane; embracing nearly all the ter
ritory lying between the Long Island Railro.ad and the
North Road, Tucker's Lane north and the Bowery Lane
south. Horatio N. Booth, Michael Kenny, and  Fox
have their homesteads on parts of this tract. Williara
Robert Hallock probably removed to Brookhaven, and
his mother, Sibil, died a widow in 1783.

This home lot of 2d Jeremiah Vail is the same as described
in Liber A, p. 52. He afterwards — in 1669 — bought the home
stead of John Budd, where Samuel S. Vail now resides, and
plied bis trade (that of a blacksmith) for many years. In

Bradley. — The Bradleys have slight connection with
Southold 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 ohr people
or the climate seemed uncongenial to them, and they -all
disappeared. ThomafS'Yo'ungs,Json of Col. John Youngs, a man of pro
minence and wealth, married Mary, daughterof 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. IL,
"Printed Southold Town Records." He probably resided
at Southold with his mother during his rainority, 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.

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 ist John Tuthill. Not
one of the name is now left in the town. For a full note on

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 SouthoM in 1792,
the line between Richard Howell, Wm. Hallock, and John
Conklin formed the boundary line between the two towns.

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 Southold
Town Records," Vol. I. p. 55. Samuel married Sarah,
daughter of ist Thomas Moore; had two children, Samuel
and William, He was apparently engaged in the business
of building vessels, which was the trade of both his father
and himself; he continued to reside in Southold for a great
number of years — probably till 1690 — when he went onto
his Eagle Neck Farm at Oysterponds, where he died on the
29th of May, 1 7 15, aged 70.
His son, 2d Samuel, then came into possession of the Neck.
He was succeeded by his son, ist Charles, who was followed
by his son, 2d Charles, and then by Grover Glover, who
died unmarried in 1803, and the Neck was sold, ist Rufus
Tuthill, son of 2d Daniel, who was grandson of ist John,
becoming the owner. Daniel T. Tuthill, great grandson
of ist Rufus, resides upon, and owns, a large part of the
original and somewhat famous Eagle Neck.

Hutchinson. — Thomas Hutchinson, " late of Lynn," had a
deed from John Scott in 1660 for lands west of Southamp
ton, and then in 1662 this deed from John Concklin for Sau
gust Neck. On January nth, 1665, he married Martha,
the widow of ist 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 ist Thomas were three — 2d

526 APPENDIX.
Thomas, Matthias, and Samuel, ist Thomas died 1676 to
1683 (Moore's Index). He was ai 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 nlatters, 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
sonSj-^Wells and Elijah, — who are the only representatives
of the once numerous Hutchinsons left, ist Samuel, son of
ist Thomas, was long in public life: from 1721 to 1737 he
was a Representative in the Colonial Assembly; in, 1729
he was appointed by the Governor and Council a judge;;
he was also a justice 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 adjoirting 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, Peconic, 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 al
lotted to Martha, and her son Elijah took it as his own, and
lived 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 Lt his permanent abode.

Henry Case — Matthias Hutchinson. — 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 ist Thomas, and his
mother was Martha, also the mother of 2d Henry Case.
Matthias bought 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 hira by his uncle,^
John Elton.
See Lib. C, p. 169 and, " Printed Southold Town Records,"

Jennings. — 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, forraerly
bought by their father, Elijah Hutchinson, of Luther
Jennings. From ist Jonathan and ist 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 "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. I. 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 ist
Thomas. His house was south from the present house of
Charles Reeve.

See Lib. C, p. 179, and "Printed Southold Town Records,"
Vol. II. p. 324.
John Goldsmith. — 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 widow 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 now the homestead of the heirs of the
late Lawyer Wickham.
When 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 ist 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.
ist 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. For a full note, see "Printed Southold Town Records,,"

Alabin, John. — Was 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 Jonathan Mapes in 1696.
The family never flourished and spread, and about 1750 the
Alabins paid their last taxes and disappeared.

Ponds and Watering jPlaces.— The most imperious 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
uge 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 picturesque 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 ist
John Tuthill in 1704 was lying on the west side of the Bow
ery Lane around and near the pond called Akerly's Pond,
between Wm. Turner's house and the Longlsland Railroad,
and probably extended southerly and easterly quite a dis
tance. Samuel Wines 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 s* pond
for watering of cattle and other conveniences; and adds,
" also all the land from y* Fresh Meadow Pond to y^ 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 y"' Great Pond with six pole of land upon y" 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 1713 the commis
sioners appointed to lay out 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,
about a mile eastward of the village of Riverhead.

Vol. II. p. 369.
John Reeve. — 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 APPENDIX.
lands described in the deeds of the Brown brothers dated
169.1 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, find P. Smith Moore occupies the farm on the north,
along the Sound shore. Since 1700 the central section has
been occupied by the Reeves, ist Walter died there, an
aged man, in 1791 ; 2d Walter spent his days there, dying
in 185 1, aged 83 years. Since his death the place has chang
ed owners several times. t

Benjamin, Joseph, and Micah Moore. — ist Benjamin Moore
was the son of ist Thomas Moore of Southold. He was a
shipmaster. His first homestead was the east part of the
place of Samuel S. Vail, but 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 was 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. Jona. Landon in 1833, aged 68; Phebe married, first,
Jos. Wickham. Dr. Moore died 1775, aged 62: he was quite
eminent in his profession, and an esteemed citizen. Abigail,
who died his widow in 1805, was remarkable for her powers
of 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.

Hashamomack. — Hashamomack, in its organization and its
government, was, frora the time of its charter and its occu
pation by Sinderland, and by Salmon, — who married Sin-

APPENDIX. 533
deiiand's widow in 1649, — entirely separate and distinct from
the Town of Southold. It afforded a fine specimen of pure
democracy: every one 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

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:
"ist Samuel King of Southold was born in England in
1633, and died at Oysterponds [Orient], L. I., Nov. 29, 1721.
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.
" ist Samuel King married Abigail, daughter of William
Ludlam, Sen., of Southampton, L. I., and became the father
of a numerous family. Among his descendants was the late
Hon. Elisha W. King, of New York City."

Vol. II. p. 486.
Indian Neck. — After obtaining a grant or a deed 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 called Poyhas
Weakewanopp, and a parcel of land thereunto adjoyning,
called Mantoobaugs." See Vol. I., "Printed Southold
Town Records," p. 208.
These reservations were generally short and indefinite,
often verbal, and perhaps never reduced to writing at all.
In 1719 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, for the Southarbor Neck, which they afterwards
exchanged for Indian Neck, but no written grant of ex
change. In 1763 the owners or present possessors of these two
Necks appointed Jonathan Horton, W. 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
dition 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 oute as if
they had lived there many years: — But 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. j 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* Neck, and he often heard the old Indians say
that they exchanged Southarbor lands for Indian Neck
lands. "So:hold, 31st May 1763 sworn before me,
Isaac Hubbard, Justice.''
Kate, a slave of my grandfather, Lieut. Moses Case, who
was born about 1730 and died at the age of go, said that
when she was a girl she knew several Indian families living
around the Necks, — especially one 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 by 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
erly end 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
tliat 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 its associations.
See Lib. A, p. 42, and "Printed Southold Town Rec'ords,"
Vol. I. p. 98.
Osman and Osborn. — These two names became confounded
on the Town Records in 1778, the name being written
Osman by the Town Clerk when he should have written it
Osborn. 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 ist 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 ist 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. I., " 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 landing 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
1680, and in his will named Col. Arnold the first of the
trustees 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 to8k the homestead when Col. Arnold died, in Novem
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. 185.
Plum Island. — It does not appear, 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 Wyllys of Hartford. We 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. I. 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 ;^642 195. \od., the

538 APPENDIX.
latter at _;^i3 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 incliides 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. 160, 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. Wyllys, 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 Wyllys 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 tjhe prior patent to Mr. Wyllys of Plum Isl
and. The deed of confirmation by the said patentees to
the town bears date 27th December, 1676 (ante, p. 11).
It is said that about 1688 Mr. Wyllys sold Plum and Gull
Islands to Joseph Dudley of Roxbury, Mass. Certain it
is, however, that we have the statement of one Samuel
Hagaburne, in which he speaks of the claim of Col. Joseph
Dudley 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 westerly 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 acres, dated October
23, 1770 (ante, p. 232). December 7, 1763, 3d Samuel, El
nathan, Theophilus, Silas, and Amon divided the Cedar
Swamp and " 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-

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
i8th of the same month "Congress recommends the re
moval of the cattle and sheep from Gardiner's and Plura
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 (1884) 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. (This note is furnished by Albertson Case.)

Shelter Island. — This town in 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 Yokee, Sachem of Shelter Island, to Capt.
Nathaniel Sylvester and Ensign John Booth, by turf and
twig, for the entire island in 1652 may be found in Lib. A,
Southold Town Records, p. 74, or in Printed Southold
Town Records, Vol I. p. 158. The pages 71, 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. We 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 1657. Also the penitential
recantation of Giles Sylvester.
In 1699 the deed of Nathaniel Sylvester and Mary his

APPENDIX. 541
wife to George Havens for 1000 acres of land on Shelter
Island was entered upon the Southold Town Records by
Benjamin Youngs, 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 ever since kept up their organization.
From its first occupation the island has been in the pos
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. J. W. C.
