* Unless Ephraim was the son of Capt. Matthias of E. Hampton. t I find just as this is going to press, that David, s. of Lot, had only two children, both daughters, Sarah and Puah. Joseph the oldest son of Lot was therefore probably the father of Stephen, b 1708, Joseph d 1770, and David b 1711, died 1735.

Ellis Cook, s of Ellis the first, when a young man, cleared up a place, built a house on it, and then, (maidens, it is said, being scarce in Southampton) went over to Connecticut for a wife. After staying there some time, and having found a young lady to suit him, her father asked a friend one day what young Cook's business was that detained him so

long in that neighborhood. He was told that the young man was courting his daughter. "Why don't he ask me then? " said the father. And see- ing Cook shortly afterward he repeated the question to him. " That is just what I was about to do," said Ellis ; and thereupon the following dialogue ensued : " Where do you live ?" "In South- ampton, L. I." "Have you a church there ? " (meaning a church organization.) "Yes." " A minister ? " " Yes." "A meeting house ? "
" Yes." " Have you got a house to live in ? "
" Yes." " Well then, young man, you may have my daughter," and the maiden assenting, the mar- riage soon followed and Ellis led his bride to her new home in the forests of Southampton.
Ellis Cook the original settler first lived in South- ampton village-then moved to Watermill where he died.

Ralph had another son, Samuel, who, previous to 1648, was an inhabitant of Flush- ing, then came to Southampton, but his name dis- appears after 1658. He had a residence in North Sea, and probably removed to New Jersey with others who emigrated thither about this time.

91 Wakeman lived alone with his family at Pond- quogue during the Revolutionary war. On one oc- casion some British troops appeared at his house and commanded him to yoke up his oxen and draw a boat over from the Peconic to Shinnecock Bay. He did so-got the boat and started with a British guard in the rear. On the journey across, evening came on, and Wakeman took advantage of the darkness and played the guard a Yankee trick. All the time crying whoa ! at the top of his voice. He began to brad up the oxen with his goad until they ran at their utmost speed. The British, thinking from his cries the oxen would soon stop, did not at- tempt to overtake him, and as soon as he was beyond their hearing, he turned the cattle into the brush, and that was the last they ever saw of their boat.

GOODALL FAMILY.
The first mention of this name is on the list of 1698 where it is written Goodale.

Assuming this to be true, 1 Joseph had w Elizabeth and ch. 2 Jona- than, 3 William, 4 Joseph, 5 Mary and 6 Hannah. One of these, probably Joseph, had s 7 Joseph, who had ch. 8 Jehiel, 9 Silas, 10 Stephen, 11 Joseph, 12 Mary and 13 Nancy. 8 Jehiel had ch. 14 Alanson (who had ch.
