Mr. Barber was a man greatly and justly beloved by his congregation, to whom in season and out of sea- son he ceased not to dispense the word of life in all its purity and celestial worth. Some of his letters of that day are yet shown. They are full of pious precepts and well worth reading. We do not know how long Mr. Barber's stay was, but should suppose near to 1757. Previous to his leaving, a sore calamity came over his family, the effects of which caused his removal to Gro- ton, Connecticut, where his death took place in October, 1783 .* Daniel Tuthill took the office of deacon about 1740. John Racket was continued with him.
The second minister was Rev. William Adams, who continued here from November, 1758, to May 1759.
3d-Was Rev. Joseph Lee, a quiet, meek, good but infirm man. Faithful in the vineyard, at all times dispensing the word of life equal to his strength and ability. At the commencement of the war of the revo-

lution, 1775, he removed to Lyme, where he died some years after.
4th-Was Rev. John Davenport, great-grandson to the celebrated John Davenport, who came to New Haven from England in 1637. Mr. Davenport settled here in 1780 and left in 1783. His death took place in Deerfield, New Jersey, July 13, 1821, aged 70 years.
5th-Was Rev. Alexander Caddle, a broad yet dig- nified and very corpulent Scotchman. He was well read in divinity and a sound expounder of the Scrip- tures, but his Scottish ideas of ministerial government rendered his out of the pulpit manners unpopular with his plain republican parishioners. He came in 1785 and left in 1788.
6th-Was Rev. Nehemiah Baldin Cook, a young but very pious man of twenty-four years of age. His stay was only a short time in 1790. He was a promising young preacher and was expected to have become a luminary in the sphere of ministerial usefulness. But alas ! it was otherwise to be. In May, 1792, at the early age of twenty-five years the small pox terminated his very useful life.
7th-Was Rev. Isaac Overton, who was here once or twice in the years 1794 and 1796. He died in August, 1799 at about forty years of age.
8th-Was Rev. John Cram ; his stay with us was but short-only a part of the year 1799. He was a man of the strictest zeal, as to outward rituals and church dis- cipline. His faith and hope, we admit; but whether his charity for other denominations was comfortable and solid, we will not judge.
9th-Was Rev. Emerson Foster, who came to us in
41
GRIFFIN'S JOURNAL.
the early part of 1801, and left in 1805 or 1806. Mr. Foster was a good, sound sermonizer, and a scholar- generally of poor health. While with us, his wife-an excellent woman-died. This took place about 1806. She was sister to Ebenezer and Justin Foot, merchants, at that time in the city of New York.
10th-Was Rev. Mr. Anderson, a man like Mepibos- heth, Saul's son, lame in his foot. He came here in 1807; his doctrine was sound. He was not, in his movements and address, prepossessing, and had no ear for music.
11th-Was Rev. Ezra Haynes, whose stay was from 1808 to 1813. His beginning in this place was bright ; he was much beloved; taught our district school with satisfaction, but in a moment of temptation he forsook his marriage vows to a lovely wife, and he was com- pelled to seek an asylum among strangers.
12th-Was a Rev. Mr. Smith ; his stay was a part of the year 1814. A man of good information, handsome talents, and an interesting speaker. We were at war at this time with England, whose rules, measures and conduct found no favor with him. He was warm and eloquent in portraying the dishonorable movements and actions which marked the course of our enemy.
13th-Was Rev. Nathan Dickerson, a very pious, ex- amplary, sound man. His labors here were in the year 1815. This sincere, upright and Christian man died March 29, 1826, in his forty-seventh year.
14th-Was Rev. Thomas James Deverel, an English- man, who had been serving his British Majesty on board his war ships, commissioned to destroy those people whom now he had become a preacher of righteousness to. Mr. Deverel had been a lieutenant in the British 4*

navy in the war mentioned, and had left the service without leave. He was assuredly a man of talents, but too unguarded in his common intercourse with non-pro- fessors to maintain that moral dignity which becomes a clergyman. His stay was little more than a year ; he left in 1819 or 1820.
15th-Was the venerable Jonathan Robertson. His labors commenced with us in 1824, at which time his age was more than seventy years. Faithfulness, indus- try and sincerity marked his daily course. He left in 1828. This godly and truly honest man died in 1848, in his ninety-third year.
16th-Was Rev. Phineas Robertson, son to the pre- ceding. He was a man of great learning, but with a weak voice, rendering his delivery dull and unanima- ting. His sermons were ably written, and often very eloquent. Mr. Robertson has published a handsome volume of poems, but the title of the book we do not just now recollect. This gentleman came with us in 1828, and left in 1833.
17th-As a minister in Gospel ordinances, was Rev. Reuben Porter. His natural movements, address and conversation was mild, cheerful, and rather preposses- sing-his sermons instructive and generally well de- livered.
In his domestic relation, we should suppose his pa- tience was highly taxed. Mrs. Porter was one of the most singular of wives. At home, nothing was right ; everything was out of place, and no one was polished sufficient to do that reverence which she conceived a woman of her standing was at all times entitled to ; she certainly was the most strange, odd in her conversation,
43
GRIFFIN'S JOURNAL.
manners and movements, whether at home or abroad, that I ever knew. With all these eccentricities, I be- lieve she was not a scold. Mr. Porter came in 1835, and left in 1837.
18th-Rev. Smith Gamage. This gentleman was of a very serious and meditative mind, and seemed to view his mission, as an ambassador of Christ, of the most so- lemn import. His stay with us was from 1837 to 1839.
19th-Rev. Daniel Beers. He commenced his labors in 1839, and as a faithful servant in the vineyard of his Lord, continued his labors until 1844, when he left.
20th-Rev. Phineas Blakeman. His intentions were, no doubt, to do the work of a faithful servant ; but his- common address and turn was far from prepossessing. His time was from 1846 to 1848.
21st-Rev. Henry Clark. He came in 1849 and left in 1855. Mr. Clark was a man of excellent qualities and amiable manners ; a great lover of improvement in knowledge and morals. His efforts have produced the best church choir in our county, if not on our entire island. May the blessing of Abraham's God rest upon him.
I have noticed the first meeting house in Orient, when built, how long it stood, &c., &c .; and I should have added that the celebrated George Whitfield de- livered one or two sermons in that old temple.
In the summer of 1818, this old church edifice was taken down, having stood just one hundred years. On its site, the same season, a new and larger one was put up, and finished in a plain, substantial manner. Its
44

chief or master workman was Joseph Glover, Jr., of Southold. The first sermon delivered in this new house was by the venerable Elisha Gillet, a seven-day Baptist, of fourscore or more years. His text was John xxi, 16th and 17th verses.
This second church edifice, after standing twenty-six years, was, by the next generation, whose views dif- fered from their ancestors, taken down, and a more spa- cious and elegant one built on its site, with a neat spire ; a bell, too, to notify the hour for worship. A Mr. Joseph Lamb was the master builder of this third house. They have bought a few rods joining the old site, which gives more room for carriages, a good shed, &c.
In 1700, the ten or twelve rods of ground to build the meeting house on cost one dollar and twenty-five cents ; in 1843, eight or nine rods added to the first purchase, cost fifty dollars. Thus, we see ten shilling in 1700 was worth four hundred shillings in 1843. How things change !

I have previously noticed the number of inhabitants in Orient at its first settlement, viz. : 1650, and so on to 1700, 1750, 1800 to 1855. It is nearly correct. I have also previously mentioned the heads of each family that was living in the place in 1775. Now, alas! of the three hundred and thirty-six souls living in 1775, there is not of that number now living to exceed twenty. Surely, as Dr. Youngs says, "all, all on earth is shadow."
Severe cold weather, or a very violent storm, which drives vessels ashore, unroofs houses, and barns, is at the time, generally pronounced the hardest and most extra- ordinary ever known. Such is the common expression in the midst of such desolation. The past grows less in the distance. So it is with large objects near us, but

remove them far away and they dwindle into scarce perceptible objects. But the great snow storm of 1717, which is one hundred and thirty-nine years ago, as yet, we believe, stands without its equal, as to its quantity of snow. In this place (Orient) it covered a number of houses which were a story and a half to the chamber windows. The elder Jonathan Youngs, who was at the time thirty-two years old and lived to see his ninety- third year, would often get his children and grandchil- dren around him and repeat in vivid colors the effects and vastness of that wonderful storm of snow. On the morning after the snow many of the families were obliged to pass out of their chamber windows, as their dwellings were buried up to that height completely with snow ! He said sheep, swine, cattle, and poultry, many of them were buried entirely up, for weeks. A small house on Plumb Island, in which an old lady lived, was entirely buried up with snow. However, the peo- ple mustered with shovels and other implements and soon succeeded in restoring her to daylight, liberty, and comfort. My grandfather, Samuel Griffin, was at the time seven years old ; remembered well the commotion and astonishment of the people of the town in expe- riencing such an unheard of storm. Dr. Marther, of Boston, in his history of those early times, observes that it was supposed to be the greatest fall of snow within the memory of man. In Boston, where he was residing, he says, it was twenty feet deep, and more in some places. It happened in February. As yet it stands without its equal in snow storms.

GRIFFIN'S JOURNAL.
Somewhere near the year 1740, a Mr. Richard Shaw built a small wharf at the foot of the road or lane, as it was then called. The east side of said wharf was on the west line of Gideon and Jonathan Youngs' farm, at the landing. It was not more than sixteeen feet wide, and from what I saw of its relics, I should not think its length more than sixty or seventy feet.
The wharf was built much as our fathers in olden time made their crib water fences. Logs, round, on the sides locked together, so as to secure small and larger stone, with which they filled it. This first wharf in our town stood some years, but as vessels in those days were few and small, there was but little use made of it. In 1774 a heap of ruins marked the spot where, what we, then children, were taught to call the " Old Wharf."
This Mr. Shaw built himself a house within ten rods of his said wharf; a two story double house, that is, two front rooms on the road, yet not more than twenty feet rear or wide ; very inconvenient, as much too narrow for a kitchen. This house, the timber of which was all . of white oak, with all the frame which was not covered was handsomely planed and beaded. There was little or no wall in the house, but the finish was ceiling. The upper rooms remained unfinished until 1790. It was built about 1730.
Mr. Shaw failed to realize what he greatly expected in his wharf, house, &c., &c., sold out his whole pro- perty, and with his goods, chattles, &c., removed to Acquebogue, about twenty miles west. His descen- dants are yet living in that vicinity.
It was out of one the chamber windows of this house

that my father leaped, as is particularly noticed here- after.
On the site of the old wharf just described, in the year 1829, Capt. Caleb Dyer commenced building one of wider and longer dimensions, but by no means of sufficient solidity to withstand time and storms. It proved the truth of the sacred text, which says the house built on the sand, will not stand; so with this second wharf. In nineteen years it became a wreck, unfit to safely moor a vessel. This dock was erected eighty-nine years after the one by Mr. Shaw. The lat- ter was twenty-five feet wide and one hundred feet long.
In January, 1848, a number of our farmers and boat- men petitioned the legislature for and obtained a char- ter to build a good substantial wharf in shares of fifty dollars each. After buying out Capt. Dyer's title to all claims in his dock and its appurtenances, they set about erecting something more solid and secure for ves- sels of almost any size. In about a year from its com- mencement, a wharf of two hundred feet long and thirty feet wide was completed, with the materials entirely of stone. The laying the wall was superintended by that ingenous and industrious man, Thomas Vincent Youngs.
In 1740 there were ten pieces of ordnance, what we call cannon, sent from New York to the towns of Southold and Southampton-five of them to the first mentioned town and five to the latter. Three of them were directed to the care of Richard Brown, Jr., and
51

John Tuthill, where they were to be kept until needed. Two of them were placed on the top of what was then called Pasture Hill. We well remember seeing them there in the year 1774. The other one was placed within three or four rods before Richard Brown's door.
Five of the ten guns as noticed, were directed to a Mr. Miller and D. Gardiner, of South or East Hampton. We have been informed that there were three more of those ordnance sent to Oysterpond Point, but we never knew of any until Col. Livings- ton built a small fort there in 1775. That breast- work was soon abandoned and the guns sent to Say- brook. They have never been returned to this town, as they ought in justice to have been.
Here I present a copy of the identical advertisement notifying the sale of the south part of the farm of the late Captain David Webb, on which Greenport is built.
AUCTION.
"Will positively be sold, at auction, on Thursday, 23d March, instant, at nine o'clock A. M., on the pre- mises : the valuable messuage, farm and outlands of Capt. David Webb (deceased). The said farm is divi- ded into lots and accurately surveyed for the better convenience of purchasers. Whoever is desirous of spec- ulation it is presumed would do well to attend said sale."

The land sold as per advertisement, lies south of the small road leading to the landing, at the mouth of a creek, through which the waters of a pond,* the larger part of which is owned by the heirs of the late Judge Thomas Youngs, pass into the bay of Shelter Island Ferry. At this place there is the remains of an old wharf, where at high water vessels of some fifty tons could lade and discharge their freight, sixty years ago. On the South side of this narrow road is about two or three acres of land, on which are the old houses of the late Daniel Harris, Henry Beebe and Capt. Orange Webb. At the head of this road stands, in venerable majesty, the old mansion of the late Capt. Joseph Booth-in olden times it was conspicuous as the inn of Lieutenant Constant Booth. In the house of the late Captain Orange Webb, the celebrated'George Whitfield, on a pane of glass, with a diamond, wrote these memorable words, viz. : "One thing is needful." This pane of glass is yet entire, although written on in 1763, having withstood unscathed, the storms of more than four score years. The house, with its large estab- lishment, was Thomas Fanning's, a country merchant, and at the time of much note as a man of the world.
Well, the farm was sold-struck off to the highest bidder or bidders, viz .: Daniel T. Terry, Esq., Silas Webb and Joshua Tuthill.
Their joint bid was about $2,300. It was bought as a speculation, to be sold in pieces of ten or twenty

acres for agricultural purposes. There was at the time no road through any part of it or improvements, more than any other tilled lot or farm. Be sure its situation was beautiful, as being bounded southerly and easterly on the pleasant shores of Shelter Island Ferry, where is formed one of the best harbors in the State. Thus it was with the site on which Greenport now stands, in March 1820.
Now, in 1856, Greenport contains about 250 dwelling houses, about sixteen stores, besides two large shoe stores, six hotels, four or five mantuamakers and milli- ners, three doctors, one dentist, five churches, four schools, three ship yards, four wharves, ten whaling ships, with a large number of schooners, sloops and smaller vessels. Here the railroad from Brooklyn ter- minates.
Thirty-six years have gone since that sale, and with them the executors, the purchasers and a large part of the numerous company in attendance !
On the third day of June, 1836, the corner stone of a methodist meeting house was laid in Orient. The ceremony of laying it was by the hands of the Rev. Samuel W. King, son-in-law of Mr. Thomas V. Youngs. Mr. King is a young clergyman of that order from New York city, of prepossessing, pleasant, engaging address, with talents, energy and religious zeal, well fitting for so sacred a work. It was a solemn, affecting and inte- resting season to the goodly number convened to wit- ness the eventful and devout occasion. The justly ap-

propriate, very feeling remarks by Mr. King, with a closing, heart-melting prayer, rendered the scene truly imposing and sublime :
This era in the history of the first rise of that pious denomination took place just one hundred years after the first congregational church edifice was built, in what was then called Oysterponds, and one hundred and ninety-six years after the first landing of our pil- grim fathers at Southold. The first methodist minister who came to this place, to tarry any considerable time, was the Rev. John Finnagan, an Englishman, about thirty-three years of age. He was a man of mild and rather amiable deportment, persevering, unwavering and of sound and strong faith in the Gospel ordinances, as held by Mr. John Wesley, whom he, Mr. Finnegan said, had heard preach. He came to this place late in the autumn of 1802. As people here know but little about that society, and that little was such as to preju- dice them, the doors were shut against his preaching in their houses or church. His first stop was at our house. We were then keeping a school and invited him to preach in the school house. Some were offended, but all that heard him were pleased and some were com- forted by this coming of Titus, as they called it.
His first three or four visits made quite a stir with the opposition. The cry by some was loud to forbid his entering the school house as a preacher: "he will break us all to pieces as a society, and if we let him alone we shall loose our place (and as the Jews said) and nation." In the course of the winter his hearers increased; his discourses were to the point, and refreshing to the possessor of that faith once delivered

to the saints. Before the spring opened Daniel T. Terry, Amon Taber, Capt. Jeremiah Youngs and others, were favorable towards him, and the consequence was, the school houses were all open freely for him to preach in. Thus we believe, that John Finnegan planted the first seed of methodism in Orient. What a conspicuous tree it has produced ! May its sacred fruit yet be partaken by all the nations of the earth, and the malady which sin has made, receive a perfect and heavenly cure ! In April, 1803, this gentleman left, never to return.
