PREFACE. The acquisition of the greater part of the knowledge contained in this vohime has re- sulted Trom the duties and necessities of the Christian ministry in the pastoral care of the First' Church of Southold for the last thirty years. The preparation of the book for the press has been the rest and recreation of many a weary hour during most of this ministry. Various hindrances have resisted the accom- plishment of the undertaking, and caused a less orderly arrangement of the materials of the work, as well as a less vigorous and at- tra6tive style, than could be desired; but the belief is cherished, that the imperfections of the book, however clearly seen by the reader, and deeply felt by the writer, should not for- bid its publication. For it is highly desirable, that the early life and worth—the purpose. —; VI HISTORY OF SOUTHOLD. spirit, circumstances, deeds and sufferings in a word, the History of the people of this Town should be so presented, that its main features, at least, may be easily known from generation to generation. The field on which labor for this end has been expended is the Past ; but the harvest desired is for the Future. The work aims to supply the wants of poster- ity not less than to satisfy the requirements of the present time. He who plants a tree that will yield good fruit after the sod has cov- ered him, may render an acceptable service to many, even though not one of his own gen- eration profits by his care and forethought for the welfare and comfort of his successors and he who provides the means which will contribute to gratify the wholesome desires and supply the mental and moral wants of those who shall live in coming years, may perhaps not labor in vain. It is altogether fit, that the Christian minister should look forward. The obje61:s of his chief thought and concern have the closest relations to the endless Future ; and it is most reasonable, that he should take the liveliest interest in the wants, the prosperity, the comfort, the virtue and the piety of the generations to come. PREFACE. Vll These motives have produced this book. Some parts of it may be found in two Papers, prepared by invitation of the Long Island His- torical Society, and read in its meetings, re- spectively on " The First Church of Southold," '' " and on The First Pastor of Southold ; and in a Paper, prepared by invitation of the New Haven Colony Historical Society, and read '' before it, on The Early History of Southold." The latter is printed in the Second Volume of the Society's Papers. The subj eel- matter of this History has been drawn from so many sources, both original and secondary, that it is impossible to name them all. Many of them are indicated in the successive chapters ; and it is believed, that the statements based upon them, are in a high degree trustworthy. Special acknowledgments, justly due, are hereby gratefully tendered, to Mr. George Hannah, Librarian of the Long Island Histor- ical Society, and hiK Assistants ; to the Rev. Addison C. V. Schenck, of the Presbyterian Historical Society ; and to Mr. Frederick Saunders, of the Astor Library, for the ut- most courtesy and kindness. Thanks are also due, and gratefully tendered, to the Rev. viii HISTORY OF SOUTHOLD. William F. Whitaker, Pastor of the St. Cloud Presbyterian Church, Orange, New Jersey, for his generous aid In conducing the volume through the press. It is hoped that the book will be all the more acceptable by reason of its several en- gravings, which are in the highest degree ef- fe6live as illustrations. There are abundant materials at hand for an interesting History of the Second Century second volume of Southold ; but whether a shall be prepared for the press, time must determine. E. W.

  • Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in New York
    Introduction to the Ratification of the Constitution in New York During the decade preceding the War for Independence, New York was divided into two large provincial factions—the Delanceys and the Livingstons. When independence neared, the Delanceys were in power and they remained loyal to the king. The opposition to British imperial policy consisted of three groups—the radical elements led by New York City mechanics who advocated independence from Great Britain, a very conservative group that wanted reconciliation, and another conservative group that wanted to delay independence but would not give up key colonial rights. Because conservatives controlled the third Provincial Congress, that body gave no instructions on the question of independence to New York’s delegates to the Second Continental Congress meeting in Philadelphia. Not being instructed, the New York delegation, standing alone, did not vote on independence on 2 July 1776. Earlier, in response to the Continental Congress’ resolution of 15 May 1776, the third Provincial Congress had called on the electors in the different counties to elect a fourth provincial congress which might draft a constitution creating a state government. The election took place and the new Provincial Congress on 9 July resolved unanimously to join the other colonies in declaring independence. The next day it renamed itself the Provincial Convention. On 1 August the Convention appointed a committee of thirteen to draft a state constitution and to report by 26 August. The committee did not report until 12 March 1777. After almost six weeks of debate, the Convention on 20 April voted “in the name and by the authority of the good people of this State” to adopt the constitution.

His researches seem to them a waste of time and energy. Interest in ancestors, love of family and kindred, those subtle questions of race, origin, even of life itself, which they involve, are quite beyond their com prehension. They live only in the present, care nothing for the past and little for the future; for " he who cares not whence he cometh, cares not whither he goeth." When such persons are approached with questions of ancestry, they retire to their stronghold of apathy; and the querist learns, without diffi culty, that whether their ancestors were vile or illustrious, virtuous or vicious, or whether, indeed, they ever had any, is to them a matter of supreme indifference.

  • In Memoriam: the Late Earl of Iveagh, K.P. H. T. G
    IN MEMORIAM. 365 IN MEMORIAM. THE LATEEARLOF IVEAGH,K.P. On the 7th October, 1927,Lord Iveagh passed to his rest, after a short illness. He had been a member of the SuffolkInstitute of Archxologyfor over twenty years. His generousand wisemunifi- cencein England and Ireland in the cause of education, the better housingof the poor and medicalresearchwill be long remembered. His bequest to the nation ofhis houseat Ken Woodand his magnifi- cent collection of pictures is also well known. His large estate in Suffolk,comprisingthe parishes of Elveden, Eriswell and Icklingham is considereda model one from an agri- cultural and sporting point of view. The hall at Elveden was partly rebuilt and restored by him in the early part of this century, and the celebratedMarbleHall, the details of which weremodelled from examples of ancient Indian art, was completed in 1903. In 1901under the guidance of the Societyfor the Protection of Ancient Buildings,Lord Iveagh re-roofedand restored the church of All Saint's, Icklingham,whichhas many treasures of antiquarian interest. He also restored and re-roofedthe old church of St. Andrew at Elveden and built on a nave, chancel and organ chamber ; using the old church as the South Aisle and a private chapel ; this was consecratedin October, 1906,by'BishopChaseof Ely and dedicated to St. Andrew and St. Patrick ; W. D. Caroe, F.S.A.,F.R.I.A.,was the architect. Later the tall campanilewith peal of ten bells, and the cloisterswere added in memory of Lady Iveagh. The War Memorialto the men of Elveden, Eriswelland Ickling- ham standing at the junction of the three parishes; was erected largely through his generosity; it is a Corinthian column about 120-ft.high on a tall base, surmounted by an urn ; it is visiblefor many miles.

SAMUEL PROVOOST, FIRST BISHOP OF NEW YORK.* AN ADDRESS TO THE GENEALOGICAL AND BIOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. By Gen. Ja.s. Grant Wilson. [With a Portrait of BishoJ> Provoost.) Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen : " It is a pleasing fancy which the elder Disraeli has preserved, somewhere, in amber, that portrait-painting had its origin in the inventive fondness of a girl, who traced upon the wall the iirofile of her sleeping lover. It was an outline merely, but love could always fill it up and make it live. It is the most that I can hope to do for my dear, dead brother. But how many there are—the world-wide circle of his friends, his admiring diocese, his attached clergy, the immediate inmates of his heart, the loved ones of his hearth—from whose informing breath it will take life, reality, and beauty." These beautiful words are borrowed from Bishop Doane, of New Jersey, who used them as an introductory paragraph in a memorial of one of Bishop Pro- voost's successors, Jonathan Mayhew Wainwright.
