During the period between the years 1877 and 1890, nearly all of the burial places on Long Island that had been in general and parish use prior to 1800 were visited by the writer, and careful transcripts made by him of such inscriptions as could then be found. In addition to these, various pri- vate or family grounds, — those that were most easily accessible, — were also visited for the same purpose. The following pages contain copies of epi- taphs found in Southold, Shelter Island and Easthampton, the towns cover- ing the eastern extremity of Long Island and forming part of the county of Suffolk, the place of record of which is Riverhead, in the town of the same name. Inscriptions from the burial places at Mattituck and Cutchogue in the westerly part of Southold, and those of the family ground of the Gardi- ners on Gardiner's Island, of Easthampton, are not included in this publi- cation. The larger number of the first settlers of eastern Suffolk were of English birth or extraction, many of them having been for a while established in the southern colonies of the New England States, relations with which, both political and ecclesiastical, were of the most intimate character. In fact, Suffolk county in colonial times was thoroughly New England in its affiliations and interests. The early grave stones still standing are mostly either of imported slate, or of sand stone brought across the Sound from the Connecticut shore. Those of slate are generally in excellent condition. The material of which these were made was from the quarries of southwestern England and Wales. Their counterparts may be seen in all the older coast towns of New England from Portsmouth to New Haven, and examples are still standing in the old church yards of Trinity and St. Paul's in the City of New York. Their decorated heads and borders, in a great variety of forms, and carefully conventionalized in character, were engraved in the mother country, while the inscriptions were usually cut on this side of the Atlantic. On many of these slate stones the fine scratches made by the workman with the corner of his chisel, to limit the heights of the letters of the inscription, are still plainly discernible ; the storms of two hundred years have failed to obliterate them or to make the slightest impression on the original surface. It is far otherwise with the stones from the home quarries of Connecticut. On many of these the inscriptions have suffered, sui-face disintegration having obliterated all but the deeper cut portions of the letters, while it is not uncommon to find the entire surface scaled away 80 that all evidences of inscription have vanished. In the light of the lesson of two hundred years it is fair to predict that at the end of this twentieth century but a remnant of the native stones whose epitaphs are VI preserved in these pages will be standing. The advent of the troubles with the mother country naturally put an end to the importation of the English slates, and they were completely superseded by the brown-stones from the Connecticut valley, which, in turn, gave way in the early part of the nine- teenth century to memorials of white marble. It has been impossible in these pages to accurately represent the styles of lettering in use during the period covered by the epitaphs. No attempt has been made to indicate the logotypes or composite letters which were common on the older stones, and which are, in some cases, of much interest archiEoIogically. The arrangement in lines as found upon the stones has been generally observed, while the use of capitals, italics, and of superior letters has been always carefully followed. Worthy of special notice are a few stones in the old ground of Southold Village, lying horizontally, about six feet in length, portions of whose inscriptions form a border at the edges of the four sides, an extremely unusual feature in this country (see pp. 7, 8 and 10). But two examples of the use of coat armor on original stones occur in anv of the grounds under present consideration ; both in Shelter Island, and upon the tombs of the Sylvesters and Deerings. Innumerable family burying grounds were scattered over Long Island, the laro-er portion of which were on the farms of the early settlers, and in many cases at considerable distances from the villages. Some of these grounds have been for many years unused, some have been ploughed over, and the stones either buried or removed to the nearest public cemetery. In God's acre a fair chance would seem to exist for the protection of a grave stone, but the family burial place, overrun with cattle, and subjected to the yearly encroachments of the plough, offers scant hope for the long preser- vation of its contents. The frugal farmer finds the flat stone a convenient cover for a trench or for a wall coping. Only lately the Beales were scouring eastern Long Island for their ancestor's head-stone, taken from its place on the farm to be built into a chimney, and later to be used as a door step. And not long since, a search for the death date of another Long Islander traced into Dutchess county, resulted in its discovery on his grave stone which had long made apart of the flagged walk to his granddaughter's door. The writer gratefully acknowledges the assistance in the preparation of this work for the press which he has received from his friends, Mr. Rufus King and Miss Lucy D. Akerly. Wholly to the latter the reader is indebted for the valuable genealogical notes on the Old Orient epitaphs, and for the Ilasharaomack inscriptions of the Appendix. While to the un- flagging interest and generous help in many ways accorded by Mr. Orville 15. Ar.kf'rly, in addition to his 8ul)stanlial contribution of abstracts from the Now York Surrogates Court, the publication of these pages is largely attri- butable. SOUTPIOLD. The eastern end of Long Island is divided into two long and narrow peninsulas by a body of water some forty miles in length, constituting, itself, a series of connecting bays. The northerly and shorter one of these penin- sulas is the township of Southold. It has an average width of hardly three miles, with an extreme length of twenty-two, being almost surrounded by the waters of Long Island Sound and the two bays, Peconic and Gardiner's. The township is traversed longitudinally by two main roads that enter ita bounds from its adjoining neighbor on the west, Riverhead, but which merge into one a few miles from the eastern extremity of the town. The first settlement by the whites (who were of English birth) was in 1639-40, though the town records were not begun in the form in which we now have them until 1651. The village of Southold is near the south shore, and at about the middle of the township in the direction of its length. Here was built the first church, and the burying ground, one of the oldest on the Island, was by its side, on the south side of the main street. The inscrip- tions following, on pages 3-24, are all that were found there in 1884, ante- dating 1800. About four miles west of Southold village, on the south road, is the old burying-ground of the settlement of Cutchogue. In 1886 it was in a very neglected condition. It contained then one hundred and thirty-six stones of the eighteenth century, the oldest of which was of 1717. The epitaphs of two of the early pastors are here : — In Memory of y« Rev'^ M' In Memory of Thomas Paine late Paftor Mr in this Place who lived defir'd Timothy WelL8 by Many [a diftinguifhing Preacher Paftor of a Church of Righteoufnefs & a fuccefsfull of Chrift in South Hold healer of the Sick] and died who died Jan^y 16"i lamented by Moft on y« 15th of A.D. 1782 : in the 637 I6"i A.D. 1787, Aged 16 years, 10 months & 3 days.

In Lib. 1 of N. Y. Wills are recorded the papers connected with the adniinistratiou of the estate of an early William Solmon, who had married Kathcrine, the widow of Matthew Sunderland, a seaman, and the OAvner of lands at Hashamacock. By her he had four children, and by another wife, Sarah, tAvo others, and died so that his widow Sarah could become the wife of John Conklins; before March, 1666, when Conkling was appointed to administer Solmou's estate, and sets forth that he had maintained these "divers young children."

His first wife was Esther (Warreu?). His will dated May 30, 1765 (vide N. Y. co. AVills, Lib. 25, p. 187), names wife Phebe, sons Richard, War- ren, Daniel and Henry, and daughters Esther and Susanua not yet eighteen. Jeremiah* Vail, d. 1749, p. 29.

Her identity is in dispute. Keith, in his Ancestry of Benjamin Harrison, surmises that her surname was Crouch. Grifiiu says she was a dau. of Samuel* Beebe of Plum Island, but a deed of Beebe's shows that his dau. Hannah mar. David King. The late Charles B. Moore stated that her name was Booth, and a careful study of the subject by the present writer would seem to render this position highly probable. If so, she was probably that dau. of Capt. William* and Hannah (King) Booth (see ante) [*Tbe King data comprised in these Notes are obtained through the courtesy of Mr. Eufus King of Yonkers. For a complete presentation of the subject reference may be had to the King Charts published by him in 1887 and 1891.] 34 who was born Feb. 22. 1G91.

KING NOTE. The King family, so largely represented in tlie burial-grounds of Southold, is descended from William King, who sailed from Weymouth, England, in March 1635-6, accompanied by his wife Dorothy, and five chilclren, and settled at Salem, Massachusetts. The father died in Salem al)out 1650, intestate, and his estate "was settled by the widow, and oldest son, William, Some time later, the second son, Samuel, Avas found at Southold, where he was ultimately joined by his mother, Dorothy, and where she was living certainly as late as in 16S4. The identity of mother and son witli the Salem people is fully established. SamueP married Abigail, the daughter of William Ludlam. He died in Southold, Nov. 29, 1721, aged 88. Three sons, all of Southold, outlived him, William,^ Samuel^ and John^, whose descendants liberally populated the eastern end of Long Island in both male and female lines. Capt. John^ King, the youngest son of Samuel, ' b. 1G78, d. Jan. 19, 1741-2, •was the father of that Benjamin (b. June 24, 1722) who Avith his wife Eliza- beth are buried in the Orient Village ground. Mr. Rufus^ King, of Yonkers, N. Y., to whose genealogical labors at home and abroad a large number of Kings are indebted for their family history, is a de- scendant of Capt. John's older brother, Samuel,' of Soutliold, through John,* John,* Rufus* and Rufus-Sylvester,' the last of Southold and of New York City. 38 SOUTHOLD ESTATES IN NEW YORK SURROGATE'S OFFICE- David Carwithy (Lib. 1, 8), will dated Aug. 30, 1665, njimes son Caleb, and Caleb's dau.

Shelter Island, situated in the waterway between the two eastern penin- sulas of Long Island, and equidistant from the towns of Southold and Easthampton, is of very irregular shape, with an extreme length in one direction of about six miles, and in the other of about four. Formerly be- longing to Southold, in 1730 it was incorporated as a separate township. The Sylvesters were, for a time, its sole owners, parting with portions in 1695 to William Kicholl and George Havens. The burial ground from which these inscriptions were taken is near the geographical centre of the island. It is in two parts, the larger being on the south side of the road, and opposite the Presbyterian church edifice, while the smaller is in the rear of that building, and on the north side of the road. All epitaphs of date prior to 1800, which were found there in August, 1881, are here printed. A small private ground of the Nicoll Family, about three miles to the south, contained in 1883 no old inscrip- tions. In Memory of MAB r, wife of EZEKIEL HAVENS; who died June 30th, 1792, iu the 30th year of her as:e. Elizabeth y« Daughter of George & Jemima Daval died Dec. IZ^'^ 1759 Aged 9 mouths.

In the northern part of the Island, and near the old Manor House of the Sylvesters, is the small family burial ground, containing in 1899 the table- tomb recently erected, and a few ancient brown-stone stones. This is probably the oldest burial place of the Island. The grave stones of the members of the Sylvester family were removed to the chm-ch yard in the middle of the Island many years ago.* [On horizontal tablet of Table-tomb.] TO NATHANIEL SYLVESTER, FIRST RESIDENT PROPRIETOR OF THE MANOR OF SHELTER ISLAN'D, UNDER GRANT OP CHARLES II.

Of the two peninsulas forming the eastern end of Long Island, one half the length of the longer, terminating in what is known as Moutauk Point, constitutes, with Gardiner's Island to the eastward, the township of East- hampton. From west to east this main portion of the town is twenty-three miles in length, its south side being an unbroken, straight stretch of beach, jjounded unceasingly by the waves of the Atlantic Ocean. More than twelve miles of the easterly end consists of only a range of low sand hills, aver- aging hardly a mile in width, and containing no villages. Just west of this the land abruptly widens to six miles or more, the northern line broken by deep harbors from Garchner's Bay. Within this wider jjortion of the town- ship lie the principal villages, Amagansett, Easthampton and Wainscott. AMAGANSETT. The home of the whale fishers, Amagansett, the eastern village of the township, is within sound of the ocean surf on the great south beach, and three miles east of the princij^al settlement, Hasthampton. Its wide main street is crossed by another, leading to the ocean, and at their junction is the old liurying ground, containing in 1887 the foUovvhig inscriptions ante- dating 1800.
