records of Southampton, and in one case one of them is the princi- pal and and the other a juryman in a lawsuit. To distinguish them the former is called Jonas Wood H. [Halifax] and the latter Jones Wood O. [Oram]. Jones Wood H. is the earliest on record and was made freeman Oct. 7, 1650. Hatfield says Jonas and Edward Wood were members of the church at Watertown, Mass., in 1635, and with Jo. Strickland and others were dismissed May 29, 1635. to plant a colony on the Connecticut river, to which they gave the name of Wethersfield. In 1640 Jonas, Jonas, Jr., Jere- miah, Edmund, removed from Wethersfield and with others (Hin- man, Puritans of N. E.) settled Rippowams (Stamford, Ct.). Jonas and Edmond (or Edward, as Hatfield has it) are thought to have been brothers and the other two their sons. In the spring of 1644 they joined the colony that crossed over to L. I. (Wood, Hist. of L. I.), and settled Hempstead, Jonas being one of the patentees. Jonas and Jonas, Jr., subsequently settled at Huntington, L. I., and were both living there in 1675. The Jonas of North Sea, Wood thinks, was son of Edward and cousin of Jonas, Jr., supposing the latter to be son of Jonas, Sr. To return to the Southampton notes.

ANNIVERSARY OF SETTLEMENT OF SOUTHAMPTON.
CELEBRATION OF THE 225TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE SETTLEMENT OF SOUTHAMPTON, DECEMBER 13 1865.
This day was chosen as the anniversary of the day on which legal possession of their homes was obtained from the Indians, as may be seen from the date of the Indian deed given in the Appendix. The historical discourse was delivered by Rev. Geo. Rogers Howell, and the following ode written for the occasion, by Mrs. Maria J. R. Howell, daughter of Capt. Mercator Cooper, and wife of John Fletcher Howell, Esq., was finely rendered by a large choir.
At a meeting in the evening, appropriate addresses were made by H. R. Stiles, M. D., and Mr. Alden J. Spooner, of Brooklyn, and the Rev. Messrs. W. B. Reeves, of Westhampton, and Epher Whita- ker, of Southold.
Rise up, ye people, with anthems of praise, And loud to Jehovah your thanksgivings raise; Praise ye the might which hath built here an altar, And gathered a people from over the sea; Sing to the mercy whose love cannot falter, And praise ye Jehovah, the God of the free. Rise up, ye people, with anthems of praise, And loud to Jehovah your thanksgivings raise.
Ages have rolled down the dark stream of time, Since our forefathers left their own native clime, Seeking a home on this ocean-girt Isle,
Where, free from the weight of oppression's hard rod, Untrammeled by rank and unfettered by guile, Secure they might dwell, and in peace worship God. Rise up, ye people, with anthems of praise, And loud to Jehovah your thanksgivings raise.
Here in their Island homes they have been blest, An oasis fair npon ocean's broad breast;
The loved forms that builded the first cottage fires Long since have slumbered beneath the green sod; But the children, impressed with the same fond desires, Still bring to this altar their tribute to God.
Rise up, ye people, with anthems of praise,
And loud to Jehovah your thanksgivings raise.
