James Herrick came to Southampton in 1653 probably a young man and unmarried, and, it is conjectured, was the brother of Henry Herrick, who settled a little earlier in Salem, Mass. He soon married Martha, d. of Thomas Topping, who gave the young people a homestead carved out of his larger homestead, embracing now the residences and home lots of James H. Foster and Henry Post, the latter being the one given to James Herrick. 1 James1 d. in 1687 and had w.

In Memoriam.
Toll for the loved and lost. Who the stream of death has crossed.
Swift came the terror king The best of us summoning, Stilling the throbbing breast, Now in her cerements dressed.
Hark ! what sounds are these, Wafted by the ocean breeze ? Weeping, as the broken-hearted, For a soul to heaven departed ? When the Lord Christ calls his bride, And the gates are open wide ?
Now lift our hearts in praise, Loud our song triumphant raise ! Onward to the fields of light, There waits the Lamb in white. Yonder gleams the jasper sea - Hark ! High heaven's jubilee !

HILDRETH FAMILY.
Thomas Hildreth was the progenitor of the Long Island family, and must have been born in England, as no connection can be dis- covered with any of the name in New England. He is first men- tioned in the Southampton records in 1643, and might have come a little earlier. One of his descendants, Dr. Shadrach, was a sur- geon in the American army of the revolution, and died in the service.

HISTORY OF SOUTHAMPTON.
HOWELL FAMILY.
Edward Howell of Marsh Gibbon, Buckinghamshire, England, was the ancestor of this family of Southamp- ton. A Richard Howell came to Southold with his mother, a widow, it is said by Rev. William Hallock, D. D., late of New York, who married Peter Hallock, TE NAY" PR the ancestor of the Long SITO Island family of Hallocks. No relationship is known to exist between these two pio- neers. Edward Howell dis- posed of considerable estates in Bucks county in 1639, among which was the manor of Westbury in Marsh Gibbon, purchased by his grandfather, William Howell, in 1536. The old stone manor house is still standing, though the remains of an old foundation near it show that some portions of it have been taken down. It is of two full stories and what is called a double house, now nearly covered with ivy. Edward Howell came in 1639 with his family to Boston, where he was made freeman, March 14, 1639-40. He soon removed to Lynn, where he had a grant of 500 acres. During the winter of 1639-40 a new settlement was projected on Long Island, of which he seems to have been the leader, as the compact or agreement of terms of founding the plantation is in his hand- writing, as well as the laws adopted by the first settlers, and to the last year of his life he was always a magistrate and member of the colonial legislature at Hartford. The manner in which his name is mentioned in the colonial records of New England and New York point to the same conclusion.
The arms of this family, as found on an old family seal now in possession of one of the descendants and on several old tombstones of the seventeenth century in Southampton, are as follows : Gules, three towers triple-towered, argent.

He had besides, but by which wife I cannot say, ch. Jacob and Rachel, w. of Rev. Thomas Willis, and Isabel, Jane, Cecil, Agnes, Anne, Joane and Alice. His will of date Nov. 30, 1557, directs his body " to be buried in the parish church of Wingrave, in the chancel before the high altar." Gives legacies to the poor of Aylesbury, the poor of Whitechurch and the poor of Marsh. Gives his wife Anne his lands in Watton and Hamme for her life, and at her decease they are to go to Henry. Gives his eldest son John his lands in Marsh Gibbon and in default of issue to his son Henry, and in default of issue to son Jacob. To each of his daughters £20 and a legacy for bells for the Hardwick church. He d. in 1557 and John the eldest son inheri- ted the manor, and himself died without issue 1576.
From the parish register of Marsh Gibbon the following extract is taken :
Henry Howell, Gent., was buried ye twenty day of July, 1625.

12 Col. Matthew3 was a representative for Suffolk Co. in the Colonial Legislature in 1691, 1692, and from 1694 to 1706 inclusive. April 17, 1701, he was honored with an expulsion from that body by the Governor, for presenting a paper considered " disloyal to his Majesty, and disaffected to his government," a paper, however, which we should now regard simply as breathing only the senti- ments of a larger liberty than that vouchsafed to the colonists at that day. Col. Henry Pierson, also a member of the same Assem- bly, and three others were rebuked for signing it, among who was Kiliaen Van Rensselaer, then the head of the distinguished family of that name in Albany. Col. Howell was, to the credit of his constituents, promptly re-elected, and sent back to the same As- sembly, and remained throughout all his term of office an able de- fender of the rights of the colonists. After his death at Newtown on his way home, his body was taken to Southampton and buried in the Southend burying-ground, where a massive tombstone, re- maining to this day, and bearing the family arms, marks his last earthly resting-place.
