1, p. 152): " They (the Massachusetts settlers) seated themselves in the bay, and spread along the coast, where they built first the town of New Haven, which gives name to the colony; and then the towns of Guilford, Milford, Stamford and Branford. After some time they crossed the bay and made several settlements in Long Island, erecting churches in all places where they came, after the independent form. " Now, the settlers of New Haven, on April 8, 1638 ((). S. ), spent their first Sunday in th...eir new settlement, Milford was settled in February, 1639 ; Griiil- ford in November or December, 1639; Stamford in July, 1640, and Branford was purchased in 1638 or 1639, and settled in 1611 ; and all these four towns were settled from, and under, the jurisdiction of the New Haven colony. So that the settlement of Southold, according to Neal, was subsequent to the latest of these, which was that of Stamford, in July, 1610. This same statement would put Southampton in the same rank if there were not so much overwhelming testimony to the contrary, fixing the time of its settlement to be June, 1640.
