* In the preparation of the manuscript of the Orient inscriptions the writer has had the advantage of comparing his own copy of the original stones with one made by Mr. Rufus King and printed in the N. Y. Genealogical and Biographical Record of April, 1875, and, also, with another, made in 1898 by Miss Lucy D. Akerly, the genealogist. And it may be safely asserted that in this presentment no stoue has been overlooked, and no name or date need be questioned.

PATIANCE TERRY, d. 1754, p. 29. She was a daughter of Jonathan (Thomas.3 Thomas,2 Thomas1) by wife Lydia Tuthill (Daniel, John,3 Heury, Henry1 ).

ESTHER YOUNGS, d. 1749, p. 29. Richards Youngs, her husband (and the father of JEREMIAIL, 6 d. 1759) was son of Jonathan, and Dorothy (Brown, Youngs. His first wife was Esther (Warren?). Ilis will dated May 30, 1765 (vide N. Y. co. Wills, Lib. 25, p. 187), names wife Phebe, sous Richard, War- ren, Daniel and Henry, and daughters Esther and Susanna not yet eighteen.
JEREMIAHI4 VAIL, d. 1749, p. 29. He was probably son of Jeremiah. 3 and mur. Apr. 6, 1732, Elizabeth Yonges (Joshua, Zerubabel?, Col. John. Rev. John, Jeremiah1 Vail was at Salem 1639, and afterwards at Gardiner's Island, East Hampton and Southold; his first wife, mother of Jeremiah,2 is unknown che mar. (2) widow Mary Payne, and (3) Joyce --- -). Jeremiah2 mar. Ann widow of Benjamin Moore, and was father of Jeremiah.3
-BENJAMIN TUTHILL, d. 1748-9, p. 29. He was doubtless son of JONATHAN> TUTILL (d. 1741-2) (Henry,4 John, 3 Henry,2 Henry1), who mar. Feb. 23, 1725, SUSANNA (d. 1743), dau. of Benjamin and Patience (Sylvester) L'Honmedien. grand dau. of Capt.

ILINNAN TUTHILL, d. 1715, p. 30. Her identity is in dispute. Keith, in his Ancestry of Benjamin Harrison, surmises that her surname was Crouch. Griffin says she was a day. of Samuels 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 dan. of Capt. William2 and Hannah (King) Booth (see only)

MARTHA GLOVER, d. 1713, p. 31. Charles Glover, her husband, was probably son of Lieut. Samuel2 ( Charles1) Glover, and his wife Sarah?

His first wife died in March, 1648, the mother of Mary,2 wife of John Corwin, Elizabeth,2 wife of Geoffrey Jones, and Lient. Sammuel .? His second wife was divorced, and he mar. (3) Esther Saunders, widow, probably dau. of Jolm and Ann Rolfe of Southampton, L. I., and Newbury, Mass.
MARY BROWN, d. 1711, p. 31. She was doubtless first wife of Samuel4 ( En- sign Richard,2 Lieut. Richard,2 Richard' ?), who was b. Mar. 21, 1686, and d. Apr. 30, 1725. He doubtless was the same who mar. (2) Jan. 14, 1712-13, Re- becca, dau. of Samuels and Elizabeth (Rogers) Beebe, b. Mar. 25, 1690.
SAMUEL KING, d. 1725, p. 31. He was b. 23 (1) 1675, son of Samuele ( Wil- liam!). He mar. Jan. 1, 1697, Hannah, erroneously supposed to have been a dan. of Jonathan Havens.

MARY WIGGINS, d. 1766, p. 32. She was b. Jan. 27, 1726, dau. of Ensign Jolin4 King ( Samuel,3 Samuel,? William') by his wife Mary (Corey). She mar. (1) May, 1746, Dr. Peter Brown, (2) Mar. 6; 1754, John Wiggins; issue by both husbands.
EDWARD JOHNSON, d. 1717, p. 32. One Mr. Edward Johnson of New Lon- don bought land at Orient in 1718. 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 Sonthold, of William Johnson who mar. Elizabeth3 Tuthill (Henry,2 Henry1), or "of the wife of John Tooker of Southold and Brookhaven, whose first wife was probably Mary Johnson from Hingham, England."

KING NOTE.
'THE King family, so largely represented in the burial-grounds of Sonthold, is descended from William King, who sailed from Weymouth, England, in March 1635-6, accompanied by his wife Dorothy, and five children, and settled at Salem, Massachusetts. The father died in Salem about 1G50, intestate, and his estate was settled by the widow, and oldest son, William.
Some time later, the second son, Samuel, was found at Southold, where he was ultimately joined by his mother, Dorothy, and where she was living certainly as late as in 1684. The identity of mother and son with the Salem people is fully established. Samuel married Abigail, the daughter of William Lodlam. IIe died in Southold, Nov. 29, 1721, aged 88. Three sons, all of Southold, ontlived him, William, 3 Samuel3 and John3, whose descendants liberally populated the eastern end of Long Island in both male and female lines.
Capt. John3 King, the youngest son of Samuel,2 b. 1678, d. Jan. 19, 1741-2, was the father of that Benjamin (b. June 24, 1722) who with his wife Eliza- beth are buried in the Orient Village ground.
Mr. Rufus8 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,3 of Southold, through John, 4 John, 5 Rufus6 and Rufus-Sylvester,7 the last of Southold and of New York City.
