educated lawyer high sheriff Justice of the Peace Delegate for General Court Member of Congregational church Will date Nov 13 1671 age at death 63 Received lands known as Pequash Neck and Poole's Neck for his services in negotiating the 1667 treaty with the Corchaug Indians to extend Southold's boundaries.

William's grave in theSouthold Cemetery on Route 25, called The Old Burying Ground, is impressiveand William II is right next to him. The First Presbyterian Church next tothe graveyard is lovely (a newer building, not William's church). We didfind a map on the inside cover of "Whitaker's Southold" (that doesn't getprinted when the book is photoduplicated) that shows that the location ofthe house William was living in when he died is on the other side of YoungsAve., about where a Real Estate office is today (that's appropriate), andnot the bank property as we thought, although he owned that, too.
