~MY ANCESTOR~
The son of PETER HALLOCK, and his first wife, he probably came to New England with his father as an adult, although this has been questioned. His wife, Margaret (Howell), resided in Aquebogue (West Mattituck) on the land purchased by his father or as some say, his father had little to do with the procurement of this land. He was one of the first twelve in Mattituck during the old Aquebogue division of the land from Southold to Mattituck Creek and ran from Peconic Bay on the south to the Long Island Sound on the north, receiving two lots (about 400 acres). This is suppose to be the land that his father purchased from the Indians which makes the legend of Peter Hallock questionable. He gave his son-in-law, Richard Howell, a strip along the future town line from the Bay to the Sound, 150 acres. William Hallock purchased from Thomas Mapes in 1667, the original homelot of John Tucker and lands to the north in Southold Village. His estate in 1675 was valued at 361 pounds & 10 shillings.

William Hallock (spelled Halliok in documents) left a large personal estate in 1684. His will was dated Feb. 10, 1682 and proved October 21, 1684 leaving property to his wife, four sons & five daughters. To sons, Thomas & Peter, the farm where he lived -- Thomas the western half except for the swamp lot & Peter the eastern half including the swamp & his dwelling house; to son, William he left land near Southold; to John land on Wading River (John's wife was a Quakeress, something that greatly displeased John's father). The daughters named in his will were: Margaret, Martha, Sarah, Elizabeth, & Abigail.
