Here's some things I'm?also so proud?of:
Page 29 in Whitaker's Southold reads and I quote:
"... The earliest records of the Town, and some others, are lost, as they have been for generations and doubtless will be forever. This is a source of endless regret. In their absence it seems impossible to determine how early in 1640, and it may be in 1639, the first English settlers were living within the bounds of this town which has long been known as the oldest town on Long Island. It is well established that the settlement had made such progress and gained such permanence as to admit of the organization of the church here on the 21st day of October, 1640, making it the oldest church in the State of New York, except the Dutch Church in New York City."
Pages 38 & 39 in?Whitaker's Southold?includes these entries, and I quote:
" ... The value of the property in the county two hundred years ago included, of course, the worth of all the acreage of today. The price of the land was then low, but for many reasons the price of horses, cattle, sheep and other useful animals was high. The assessed value at that time was less than two hundred thousand dollars. It is safe to say that the population has grown thirty-fold in the two centuries and the wealth five thirty-fold.
???It is not so easy to measure the progress in comfort of the people. It is difficult to understand the rudeness of that age.
???Their lowly dwellings contained tables, chairs, , drawers, chests, bedsteads, , , shovels, tongs, andirons, trimmals, pothooks, pots, pans, knives, wooden ware, pewter ware, especially plates and spoons; sometimes a little earthenware and perhaps a few pieces of silverware, as a tankard or a cup. But stoves, tinware, plated ware of every kind, china, porcelain, queen's ware, and all kinds of fine pottery were almost or altogether unknown among them. They used no table-cloths, and the first generation at least, no forks. Their log cabins or low were covered with roofs of grass or straw. These abodes were furnished in the plainest and cheapest manner.
???The wills and inventories of that date show the property of the people and their style of living. They had had land, , barns, fences, horses, cattle, sheep, swine and fowls. They used a few rude utensils to cultivate the soil-carts, plows, harrows, hoes, forks, rakes, scythes, sickles, aces. A few mechanics and artisans had the tools of their respective trades -- carpenter's, blacksmith's, weaver's, shoemaker's. The people generally wrought directly upon the land or water. They had no carpets. Few had any pictures, clocks, watches, musical instruments, or works of art of any kind to adorn their . Some had candlesticks; very few, lamps. There were simple implements for the manufacture of flax and wool into cloth, and the families generally had scissors and needles to make and mend the homely garments which they wore.
???Almost no articles of food, not even condiments, were brought from beyond the county-no coffee or tea, little sugar. They had little more fruit than a scanty of wild berries. The mortar and pestle were in daily use to prepare their grain for cooking. They had no fine flour.
???They had nets and boats for fishing and other purposes, but how unlike those of the present day! Their highways were mainly water. There were few roads and no bridges. The sea, the sound and the bays were the paths of their meager trade and small social intercourse. They had few books and no printed newspapers.”
Page 165 in Whitaker's Southold reads and I quote:
" ... The Cutchogue church's?early records are lost. Its of worship was built in 1732. The name of its first pastor is unknown. Like most of the early churches of eastern Long Island it was Independent, or Congregational. It united with the Presbytery in 1763."

Here is something too that is definitely "not that far from a missing link" as it carries the e-book?of?the Reverend Epher Whitaker's?A History of Southold, L.I. / Its First Century:
I "scrolled-over"?History of Southold ...?and found some definite certain definitions. I have placed some words?and meanings that the Rev. Epher Whitaker sites in his volume, and I also give note to the accompanying page the particular term is found in his volume:

I was yet again appreciative of Southold Supervisor Scott Russell having an actual hard copy of "Historical Sketch of Southold Town" which he shared with me and I was pleased to return the booklet to him for his personal collection. Thanks so much Scott!
