SOUTHOLD Vol 53, January 1899, p 74 - 81 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 in itself a series of connecting bays. The northerly and shorter one of these peninsulas 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 bays. The township is traversed longitudinally by two main roads that enter its 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 whites (who were of English birth) was in 1639-40, though the town records were not commenced 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 oldes on the island, was by its side, on the south side of main street. The inscriptions following were found there in 1884, and the list includes all then existing that antedated 1800.

Nathaniel SYLVESTER of Shelter Island, and great grand daughter of Thomas BRINLEY, Esq., of Staffordshire, England, auditor to King Charles I. Capt. William BOOTH, d. 1723, m. 1688, Hannah (d. 1742) KING [Samuel(2), William(1)], b. 26 Jan 1666; of their issue, William (d. 1712) was b. 25 May 1689, & George (d. 1713) was b. 28 Apr 1696. Jonathan BROWN, d. 1710, was doubtless Jonathan, the second son of Lieut. Richard(2) BROWN. He m. Elizabeth, dau. of Capt. Nathaniel SYLVESTER of Shelter Island. Samuel KING, d. 1721, was a son of William & Dorothy (HAYNE?) KING of Salem, m. 10 Oct 1660, Frances, dau. of William & Clemence LUDLAM of Matlock, England, & Southampton, N. Y., who d. 14 Jan 1692, aged about 53 yrs. Hannah TUTHILL, d. 1714. Her identity is in dispute. Keith, in his Ancestry of Benjamin Harrison, surmises that her surname was CROUCH. Griffin says she was a dau. of Samuel BEEBE of Plum Island, but a deed of BEEBE's shows that his dau. Hannah m. 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 the daughter of Capt. William(2) & Hannah (KING) BOOTH, who was b. 22 Feb 1691. Hannah TUTHILL was the great grandmother of Anna SYMMES, the wife of President William Henry HARRISON. Richard KING, d. 1735, was b. 5 Nov 1711, son of William(4) & Bathshua (BEEBE) KING. Bezaleel KING, d. 1735, brother of the last, b. 31 Mar 1727 Bathshua KING, d. 1764, b. 16 May 1688, dau. of Samuel & Elizabeth (ROGERS) BEEBE of Plum Island. Her issue by William(4) KING, b. 14 Feb 1677-8 [William(3), Samuel(2), William(1)] were:-- William(5) (m. Elizabeth BEEBE), Richard, Hannah (mar. Richard BAXTER), James, Bathsheba, Susanna (mar. Robert SHEFFIELD), Bezaleel & Paul. Paul KING, d. 1750, b. 2 May 1731, son of the above Bathshua. Susanna SHEFFIELD, d. 1766, b. 29 May 1723, mar. 22 Jun 1749. Four children b. to Robert & Susannah SHEFFIELD are recorded in Lib. E. Southold Records, of whom Susannah (d. 1766) was b. 7 Dec 1750, and Robert (d. 1753) was b. 21 Jun 1752. Hannah KING, d. 1728-9, b. 5 Apr 1695, dau. of Samuel & Elizabeth (ROGERS) BEEBE, m. 5 Sep 1715. Her husband David(4) KING [William(3), Samuel(2), William(1)], b. 22 Oct 1693, was drowned 26 Sep 1749, having mar. 1731 (2) Deborah, the dau. of William(3) [Samuel(2), Charles(1)] GLOVER. Elizabeth BEEBEE, d. 1716, b. 15 Apr 1658, dau. of James ROGERS of Stratford, Milford & New London, Conn., for whom Mayflower ancestry, though often claimed, remains unproved. She mar. 9 Feb 1682, Samuel(5) BEEBE of Plum Island, popularly known as "King" BEEBE, who d. Jul 1742. He was son, not of Joseph, as asserted by Griffin, but of Samuel(4) of New London, who mar. (1) Agnes(2) KEENEY [William(1)], probably the mother of all his children, and (2) her sister Mary, b. 1640. Samuel(4) was the son of John(3) BEEBE, who d. 13 May 1650, on the passage to America, sometime of Broughton, Northamptonshire, son of John(2) (& Alice), son of Alexander(1) & Elizabeth, all of Great Addington, Northamptonshire. Sarah PAINE, d. 1716, her husband John PAINE is not identified. Thomas PAYNE, the emigrant, d. in Salem about 1650, leaving widow Elizabeth (possibley a dau. of Henry TUTHILL of Tharston, co. Norfold, England) who came to Southold with several of their children. Bezelel KING, d. 1725, b. 23 Jan 1703-4, son of William & Abigail (BROWN) KING Abigall KING, d. 1716, dau. of Lieut. Richard & Hannah (KING) BROWN, and m. 17 Jan 1686-7, her first cousin William(3) [Samuel(2), William(1)] KING, who was b. 10 Jan 1661-2 and d. 12 May 1740, having m. (2) 20 Jan 1716, Susanna CROOK (d. 1741) Martha GLOVER, d. 1713. Charles GLOVER, her husband, was probably son of Lieut. Samuel(2) [Charles(1)] GLOVER, and his wife Sarah(2) [Thomas(1)] MOORE as the dates hardly admit of his having been the son of Samuel(3) as stated in a modern note in the Southold Town Records. The emigrant, Charles(1) GLOVER, a shipwright, was at Salem, Mass., in 1632, and d. at Southold in Jan 1665. His first wife d. in Mar 1648, the mother of Mary(2), wife of John CORWIN, Elizabeth(2), wife of Geoffrey JONES, and Lieut. Samuel. His second wife was divorced, and he m. (3) Esther sAUNDERS, widow, probably dau. of John & Ann ROLFE of Southampton, L. I., & Newbury, Mass. Mary BROWN, d. 1711, was doubtless first wife of Samuel(4) [Ensign Richard(3), Lieut. Richard(2), Richard(1) ?), who was b. 21 Mar 1686, and d. 30 Apr 1725. He doubtless was the same who m. (2) 14 Jan 1712-13, Rebecca, dau. of Samuel & Elizabeth (ROGERS) bEEBE, b. 25 Mar 1690 Samuel KING, d. 1725, b. 23 (1) 1675, son of Samuel(2) [William(1)]. He m. 1 Jan 1697, Hannah, erroneously supposed to have been a dau. of Jonathan HAVENS. The mutilated inscription on the next stone, with a great deal of confidence, be restored thus:-- [HERE LYES Ye] BODY [OF Mrs] HANNAH KING [W]IFE [OF Mr.] [SAMUEL] KING [JUN'r WHO DEP]ARTED THIS [LIFE] [AU]GUST Ye 17 [1712] IN Ye 39th YEAR OF HER AGE.

He was described in 1714 as a shipwright and was a married man at the time. Possibly the Edward buried here was a relative of Lot JOHNSON of Southold, of William JOHNSON who m. Elizabeth(3) TUTHILL [Henry(2), Henry(1)], or "of the wife of John TOOKER of Southold and Brookhaven, whose first wife was probably Mary JOHNSON of Hingham, England." Absalom KING, d. 1752, b. 5 Oct 1733, son of Ensign John(4) & Mary (COREY) KING Ensign John KING, d. 1753, b. 15 Jul 1699, son of Samuel(3) [Samuel(2), William(1)], & m. 25 Jun 1724. Mary COREY, probably dau. of Abraham(3) [Abraham(2), John(1)], b. 11 Jan 1707. Her surname has been sometimes erroneously given as BROWN. Capt. John(3) KING, d. 1741-2, b. 26 Jan 1677 [Samuel(2), William(1)], m. 22 Aug 1704, Katharine, d. 1752, OSBORNE, b. 21 Aug 1684. His will (N. Y. co. Lib. 14, p. 269) names among other children, his daughers Mary BOOTH & Elizabeth HOPKINS. Of these, Mary(4), b. 22 Jul 1705, m. Oct 1726, her 1st cousin, Lieut. Constant(3) [Capt. William(2) by wife Hannah(3) (KING)] BOOTH, b. 8 Jan 1701; and Elizabeth(4) m. 26 Dec 1734, Abijah, son of William & Rebecca HOPKINS of Shelter Island, William being buried at Orient, as ar Capt. William & Hannah BOOTH. Christopher BROWN, d. 1739, b. 29 Jun 1714, son of Capt. Richard(4) & Anna (YOUNGS) BROWN Peter BROWN, d. 1747, b. 11 Sep 1719, brother of the last & grandson of Ensign Richard(3) & Dorothy (KING) BROWN, and great grandson of Lieut. Richard(2) & Hannah (KING) BROWN. Apparently Richard(2) was a son of Richard(1) who d. 16 Oct 1655, according to Moore's Indexes. Anna BROWN, d. 1753, doubtless the dau. of Richard (5) BROWN (brother of Christopher & Peter above) & his wife Hannah (HAWK), b. 30 Apr 1745 John HOPKINS, d. 1727, son of William(3), b. 1660 [Giles(2), Stephen(1) of the Mayflower] William HOPKINS d. 1718, Rebecca (HAVENS?) wife of William, d. 23 Apr 1746. His will mentions eight children, but six of whom are known by name, viz: William, Eferam, Hannah, Samuel, John & Abijah, who m. Elizabeth, dau. of Capt. John(3) KING, in 1734. Eunice YOUNGS, d. 1725. A mutilated stone contains enough of an inscription to enable us with the help of town records to construct the following:-- Here lyes ye Body of Eunice YOUNGS ye Wife of Gideon YOUNGS Jun'r who died May ye 8 1715 in ye 24 year of her Age. Gideon(5) YOUNGS [Lieut. Gideon(4), Gideon(3), Capt. Joseph(2), Rev. Christopher(1)] b. 7 Dec 1698, d. 25 Dec 1780, mar.

The slabs are of sandstone from the Connecticut quarries across the Sound, and only six bearing dates earlier than 1800 were standing in 1882. Asa KING and his wife Mary conveyed this land by deed, dated 26 Aug 1790, to Christopher BROWN, and others, for burial purposes.
