Elias Pelletreau in his last sickness fell into a trance. He lay many hours insensible and apparently dead. He was aroused at last by the efforts of his friends, and looking up, he said, "Why do you bring back the dead to the liv- ing ? I have heard and seen things unutterable !" Saying this he fell again into a repose, and died soon after. Those around him were dumb with astonish- ment. His minister, Rev. Mr. Bogart, always re- gretted he had not then been called in.


PIERSON FAMILY.


Henry Pierson, the ancestor of the families of this name, now living in the town, came during the first or second year of the settlement. It is not known what, if any, relationship existed between him and Rev. Abraham Pierson, of whom an account has been given in the seventh chapter. His descendants are numerous, though but one family of this name resides in the village of Southampton at the present time. Like all or nearly all of the first settlers, Mr. Henry Pierson was a Christian. In his own handwriting [and he was a fine penman and town clerk for many years, ] on the town Records, penned doubtless in a devout frame of mind, is found the following :


" Jehovah I upon thee call ! O make thou haste to me, And hearken thou unto my voyce, When I do crye to thee."

POST FAMILY.


Richard Post appears first in this town in May 1643, when he receives a home lot from the pro- prietors. In the latter part of his life he appears to have given his home to his son Joseph, and he lived with a daughter and son-in-law until his death in 1689. 1 Richard had w Dorothy and ch. 2 John, 3 Thomas and 4 Joseph b 1649 d 1721. 2 John had ch. 5 Capt John b 1674 d 1741, 6 Jeremiah and 7 Richard. 5 Capt.

PROUD FAMILY.


John Proud started from England in May 1817 in a packet ship on which were many passengers, among whom was George Bowden before mentioned. On their voyage they met with hard winds and storms which continually drove them from their course. They were 110 days on their passage, and all on board were put on short rations. At length, suffering for want of food, ten of the passengers, among whom were Messrs. Proud and Bowden, requested the captain to set them ashore on the first land they made. This proved to be Montauk Point where they were landed, and the two above men- tioned, remained and settled in Southampton. By their own testimony they met the kindest of friends in the people of Montauk and Amagansett, who re- lieved all their necessities, and sent them on their way rejoicing. John Proud m Phebe Brown and had ch. Phebe w of William F. White, and Henry who now resides in Bridgeport, Ct.

RAYNOR FAMILY.


According to Savage Thurston Raynor came from Ipswich, Co. of Suffolk, 1634, with w Elizabeth aged 36, and he 40, and ch. Thurston 13, Joseph 11, Elizabeth 9, Sarah 7, and Lydia 1. Went to Watertown, Mass., thence to Wethersfield Ct. in 1638, thence to Stamford in 1641, and if he is the Thurston of Southampton, from Stamford to New Haven, since the first settler of Southampton, ap- pears to have come from the latter city. He died about 1667, leaving w Martha, and besides the chil- dren above, a d Deborah. The Town records seems to confirm this statement of Savage, and the ge- nealogy on this theory is as follows : 1 Thurston had Ist w Elizabeth and 2d w Martha and d 1667, leaving ch. 2 Thurston b 1621, 3 Joseph b 1623 d about 1682, 4 Elizabeth b 1625, 5 Sarah b 1627, 6 Lydia b 1633, and 7 Deborah. 2 Thurston had w Martha and s 8 Jonathan b about 1650, who m Sarah Pierson June 2 1680, and had s 9 Jonathan b March 4 1681 d 1741, who m Irene Herrick July 27 1704, and had ch. 10 Jonathan and 11 David b Jan 18 1705-6, 12 Adonijah b Aug 24 1708, 13 Elihu b Nov 18. 1710, 14 Sarah b March 18 1713, 15 Nathan b Feb 14 1717, 16 William b Oct 1 1719, and 17 Henry b June 9 1722. 12 Adonijah had s 18 Adonijah, who had ch. 19 Oliver, 20 Catherine w of Mr. Wade, 21 George, 22 Sylvanus, 23 Abigail, 24 Rebecca, 25 William and 26 Charles. 3 Joseph had ch. 27 Thurston, (who had w Sarah and d.

REEVES FAMILY.


Thomas and James Reeves, brothers, came to America in 1660. They settled in Southold where James remained, but Thomas soon after 1667, re- moved to Southampton and settled. The descend- ants of James in Southold, write the name Reeve.


1 Thomas d 1685 had w Rebecca and ch. 2 John b July 15 1673, 3 Rebecca b March 1 1676, 4 Thomas b Oct 3 1679, 5 Hannah b Feb 9 1681, and 6 Abi- gail b Sept 22 1684. 2 John had w Rachel and s 7 Stephen, who had ch. 8 John and 9 David b 1741. 8 John had ch. 10 John, 11 Edward, 12 Abraham, 13 Jesse and 14 Thomas, (who had s James.) 11 Edward had w Lucretia and ch. 15 Henry, (who has ch. Edward C. and Albert C.) 16 Lemuel, who has ch. Henry A. and others), 17 Albert, (who has ch. Samuel P. and Elizabeth) 18 Augustus, and 19 Harriet w of James Howell. 9 David m Hannah, Dec 9 1768, and had ch. Charlotte b Feb 25 1770, Apollos b Sept 2 1771, and David b April 29 1779.


4 Thomas had s 20 David b 1725 who might have been the brother of 21 Bethuel who in 1758 appears in North Sea. 21 Bethuel must have been the son of either 2 John or 4 Thomas, and had ch. 22 Joel b 1755 d 1831, 23 Daniel and 24 Jeremiah. 22 Joel had w Anna and ch. 25 Bethuel, 26 Rumsey, 27 Wines, 28 Jeremiah, (who had ch. Jetur, Barna- bas, Jeremiah, Frances, Bethuel, Josephine, Char- lotte and Charles) and 29 Jetur.

HISTORY OF SOUTHAMPTON.


a resident from 1642, to, at least, March 1645-6. In 1645 the Gen. Court make him a grant of land. In 1649 he is made freeman. He appears to have had a home in Hempstead, for a few years previous to 1649. From 1649 to 1655 we find him an inhab- itant of Southampton, and after this disappears al- together. Nor can any will of his be found on record. Subsequent to 1655 Obadiah Rogers is mentioned as residing on the same homestead that William had occupied.


In 1669 Widow Ann Rogers of Hunttington makes a will, leaving ch. 2 Obadiah, 3 John, 4 Samuel, 5 Mary, 6 Hannah and 7 Noah : of these 2 Obadiah is called the oldest and is spoken of as living in Southampton. Now it is probable that 1 William gave the Southampton homestead to Obadiah about 1655, and with his w and younger ch. removed to Hunttington where he might have resided several years. 3 John and 7 Noah removed to Branford, Ct., and in the earliest deeds there recorded in which they are grantees of land, they are mentioned as "late of Hunttington L. I." John left no issue. These two brothers received a large inheritance from their father as ap- years from the Branford Records. 2 Obadiah d be- tween 1687 and 1690, had w Mary and ch. 8 Oba- diah b 1655 d 1729, 9 Mary, 10 Sarah Hakelton, 11 Elizabeth, 12 Patience, 13 Jonah and 14 Zechariah. 8 Obadiah had w Mary and s 15 Capt.

ROSE FAMILY.


From Savage's Genealogical Dictionary, the fol- low account is taken : " Robert Rose of Wethers- field in 1639, came in the Francis from Ipswich, Co. of Suffolk, in 1634, aged 40, with w Margery 40, and ch. John 15, Robert 15, Elizabeth 13, Mary 11, Samuel 9, Sarah 7, Daniel 3 and Dorcas 2. He removed before 1648 to Stratford, where the list of freemen, 1669, bears his name, [unless it be his son Robert, which is more probable, for one Robert died at Branford, leaving good estate in 1664 or 5."]


This would seem to be the same Robert that we find in Southampton in 1644, but not later than 1648. A Robert Rose was among the first settlers of East Hampton, but did not remain long. Now we may suppose Robert, the father resided suc- cessively in Wethersfield 1639, Southampton 1644-8, East Hampton a few years, then Branford, where many of the Long Island people removed ; and that his son Robert lived and died at Stratford, and his son John and youngest son Thomas, resided in Southampton. My impression is that I have seen in the town Records a writing which mentions John and Thomas as the sons of Robert, but cannot now refer to it. Assuming this to be true, we have -- 1 Robert has w Margery, and ch. 2 John, and others as before. 2 John b 1634 d 1697, had ch. 3 John, 4 David, 5 James, 6 Hannah, 7 Thomas and 8 3 John had ch. 9 David and 10 James b

SANDFORD FAMILY.


1 Thomas Sandford was a resident of Boston in 1674, but of Southampton, as by the Records in 1676. Some branches of the family have mutilated the name by dropping the Middle d. It would ap- pear that Thomas had besides 2 Ezekiel, another son Zachariah, from the fact that in 1736 a Zachariah is mentioned as having two sons Henry and Stephen there grown, who probably removed, since they soon after disappear from the. Records. 1 Thomas b 1631 had s 2 Ezekiel, who d 1716 and had w Han- nah and ch. 3 Ezekiel b 1681 d 1755, 4 Thomas b 1684 d 1761, 5 Abigail and 6 Zachariah. 3 Ezekiel had w Dorcas and ch. 7 Ezekiel, 8 Sarah Hedges, 9 Abigail Sayre, 10 Phebe Jessup and 11 David, (who had ch.

SAYRE FAMILY.


Thomas Sayre the first of this name in South- ampton, was one of the eight original " Under- takers," and came here in 1640.

In 1638 he and his s Job have each 60 acres of land allotted to them in Lynn, Mass. The arms of this family are : Gules, a chevron ermine between three seagulls argent.
