- Peter Hallock - Holyoke, "The Pilgram" (born 1584) pg. 9-10 Peter Hallock, the first of the family to come to America, and one of theNew Haven Colony, landed at Hallock's Neck, Southold, Long Island, in1640, and settled near Mattituck. He came over with a company of Puritans with the Rev. Mr. John Youngs. According to a tradition in the family, Peter Hallock was the first of the thirteen men who composed the company,to set foot on the shore among the Indians at Southold. For this reason that part of the village was named Hallock's Neck, and the beachextending from it Hallock's Beach, names which are still retained. He purchased from the Indians the tract of land since called Oyster Ponds, now Orient, and then returned to England for his wife and on coming back with her found that the Indians had resold his property. He then bought about ten miles west of Mattituck. His wife was a widow when he married her, and had a son by her former husband, Mr. Howell. The only child of the second marriage was William.

Hallock D.D. published 1866 "PETER HALLOCK, ancestor of those of the name in this country, was one of the thirteen pilgram fathers, including Rev. John Youngs, who in 1640 fled from civil and religious oppression in England, and landed at New Haven. In 1634, at Yarmouth England, Rev. John Youngs and his wife Joan, of St. Margarets, Suffolk, were forbidden passage to New England. (History Puritans, Mass. Hist. Coll. Vol 4, p. 101) Mr. Youngs soon settled at Hingham, in Norfolk Co. adjoining Suffolk, 100 miles northeast of London, and six years later on Oct. 21, 1640, he gathered his church anew under auspices of Rev. John Davenport minister, and Theophilus Eaton governor of the New Haven Colony, which had just been planted Arpil 18, 1638, under a branching oak .. a virtual theocracy, the Bible their code of laws, ecclesiastical and civil." Peter Hallock, whose last name was probably "Holyoke", came to New Haven in 1640 with Eaton & Davenport. From New Haven, he was part of thirteen men who removed to Southold, Long Island with Rev. Mr. John Youngs, a Presbyterian minister. They were the first of thirteen men who set foot on the shore among the Indians of Southold. He purchased from the Shinnecock Indians the tract of land, once called Oyster Ponds, and now called Orient. He returned to England to bring his wife to the new world and on coming back found that the Indians had resold the land he had purchased. He then bought land extending from Long Island Sound on the North, to Peconis Bay on the south. He settled in Aquebogue, about two miles west of Mattituck village and creek. His first wife probably died in England and may have been ELIZABETH (MARGARET) YOUNGS, brother of Rev. John Youngs, but I have found no proof of this. They had one son, WILLIAM HALLOCK, who was born in England. His second wife was the widow of a Mr. Howell. There was no issue born to this union. I. PETER HALLOCK PETER HALLOCK, was the founder of the Hallock family in America. He was born in England about 1595. Peter's first wife had only one child. Child: – William Hallock He married second, the widow HOWELL who had a son (Richard) and daughter from a former marriage. Peter came to America with his pastor, Rev. Youngs and twelve others, all members of the Presbyterian Church in Hingham, Norfolk, Co., England. They immediately set up a church naming the place Southold, apparently after a Southhold in their native land. He returned to England for his second wife. He purchased a strip of land from the Indians in the western part of which is now Mattituck. His wife's son, Richard Howell, was settled on the west part of this strip, and his descendant, Elizabeth Howell still occupied it as of 1966. The old homestead was on the east part, and the farm is still held by his descendant, George Omar Hallock, of the ninth generation. FAMILY TREE: II.
