[*This vote at a town meeting upon the question of build- ing a meeting house shows how thoroughly the church and the town government were blended. The old meeting house on "meeting house brook" (now Prime Avenue), was built about 1665, forty-six years prior to the date of this record. It was probably small and inconvenient and the increasing population doubtless required better accommodations. As we shall soon discover, the choosing a location for the new meeting house occasioned a violent controversy .- C. R. S.]

[*This is the first instance of a division of the proceeds of a sale of lands by the town trustees among those who contribu- ted to procuring the Colonial grants to the town. Jacob Conk- lin, who bought the land, was a noted person of the period. He bought large tracts of land, chiefly about Half Hollow Hills, and was the ancestor of the late Jesse Conklin, of Babylon. How he acquired the large sums of money which he disbursed during this period in the purchase of lands was a mystery nev- er fully solved. The list is valuable as showing the names of residents of Huntington at that time .- C. R. S.]
