[+ Robert Arthur was probably a son of John Arthur, of Salem, Mass., who married the daughter of John Gardiner. After the ,death of John Arthur, the widow lived at Nantucket, aud is believed to have moved from there to Huntington, bringing her son Robert. The "widow Arter" is often mentioned in the records of the first settlement. Robert married a daugh- ter of Thomas Scudder .- C. R. S.]
[{ The "widder Joans," here mentioned, was in her maiden name Catherine Este, daughter of Jeffrey Este, afterwards wife . of Henry Scudder, and later "widow wife," as she called her- self. of Thomas Jones. It was a novel thing for a woman to collect the taxes, but the records of the period show that she was a woman of more than ordinary ability, and for conveni- ence her neighbors paid their taxes in to her. She lived on East Neck, probably about where Mr. Thurston now resides .- C. R. S.]

207 [TOWN MEETING. THE MILL AT COW- HARBOR.]
[1674, June 30.]
Jun. 30 1674.
At a town-meeting it [was] voted and agreed by the major part of the town that men should go to Cowharbor to view and try the stream and place on the North side of Epenetus ground, whether it were capable of having a mill there, and if it were found suitable for such a purpose that then they would have a mill there.
It was also agreed at the same meeting that the charge of building such a mill should be according to hundreds.
At the same meeting above said it was agreed that all sufficient laboring men that shall labor at the mill work, shall have per day 2 shillings and six pence ; and every man and his sufficient team shall have per day 6 shillings and six pence ; and that Mr Wood and Epenetus Platt, Jonathan Rogers, John Samwaye shall be overseers of the mill-work to appoint men there [to] worke and to call them out .*
[*Up to this time Little Cow Harbor (the name was changed to Centreport about 1836 on the petition of Shallum B. Street, father of the writer) was open, and navigation unobstructed as far south as the tide flowed. The location was considered favorable for a tide mill, something that had become a pressing necessity since the old mill of Mark Meggs, near the "town spot" had been discontinued, and the people at once com- menced the work by constructing a dam and the erection of a mill there. I am uncertain as to its exact location. This mill property continued to be owned by the town for many years and millers occupied it under agreements with the town until, as we shall see later on, it passed into private ownership. The large mill building, now probably lower down the harbor, was built at a much later period, but it is possible that some of the millstones or irons in it have survived since this early period. -C. R. S.]

It was also voted and agreed that John Green shall have 4 acres of land by Cowharbor foot path at the Ground Nut Hollow toward his division.

[*The new boundary seems to have been a compromise, neither town getting all that it claimed. Huntington claimed eastward to Smithtown River, and Smithtown claimed west- ward to Cow Harbor. A middle line was chosen at Fresh Pond and Whitman's Hollow. The exact location of this line was the subject of controversy among the adjoining land-owners, whose titles were bounded by the town line, for more than two hundred years after the date of the above order, until 1884, when, at the urgent request of some of the land-owners, Moses Smith, Supervisor of Smithtown, and Charles R. Street, Super- visor of Huntington, took proceedings for having it definitely fixed pursuant to the law applicable to such cases. After test- imony had been taken by a committee appointed for the pur- pose, the Board of Supervisors passed a resolution establishing the boundary, commencing at Long Island Sound on the north and running to Babylon and Islip towns on the south. A sur- vey and map of the line, made by Scudder V. Whitney, C. E., was filed, and marble monuments were erected at all appro- priate points on this line .- C. R. S.]
