• Notes

  From: "Fragments of East Quogue* History (pub by East Quogue Civic Association 1990) Phillips Homestead (site 19) and Fairfield Dairy (site 20) Family tradition indicates that Moses Phillips (1759-1829) may have been the earliest of this name to reside at Fourth Neck*. Moses was one of four brothers who came to Speonk* from Brookhaven Town*. It is documented by wills and deeds that Moses sold all his lands in Speonk to his brother Joseph in 1797, and inherited all his brother William’s lands at Fourth Neck* in 1818. Tradition places Moses and his descendants on sites 19 and 20. There is some indication that Moses and/or his son, William, may have resided in a dwelling slightly north of site 19. The Beers, Comstock and Cline Atlas of 1873 indicates that Mahlon Phillips (1829-1889) and George E. Phillips (1836-1890) resided at sites 19 and 20 respectively at that time. Mahlon and George were grandsons of Moses through his son William Phillips (1797-1869); as was John Henry Phillips (1844-1905). Two daughters of George: Rosetta Matilda Phillips (1865-1938) and Flora May (Phillips) Gouldsbury (1789-1921), together with the latter’s husband, Samuel J. Gouldsbury (1885-1941) operated the Fairfield Dairy on site 20. The old homestead on site 19 has since burned, but the dwelling on site 20 remains as a private residence. * These places are all on the south shore of Long Island, The town of Brookhaven lies to the west of the Town of Southampton, Suffolk County, NY. Southampton Town contains: East Quogue (aka Atlanticville, aka Fourth Neck) which is directly south of the start of the fork of the island, near its eastern end. Quogue is a short distance west of that, Speonk was a short distance further west. FOURTH NECK -- East Quogue was settled in 1686 and was known as "Fourth Neck." In the mid- to late-1700s, a few solitary farms could be found. The natural resources of the area (the salt marshes, the creeks, the bays and the fertile soil) had drawn the first settlers.In 1852, Fourth Neck became "Atlanticville" because of its proximity to the Atlantic Ocean. As happened in so many villages, the coming of the railroad in the early 1870s changed the character of Atlanticville. In 1899, when Atlanticville became "East Quogue, " it was a teeming summer resort, with many summer hotels and large imposing boarding houses, including the grand five story Walker House on Walker Avenue.
