and 60 houses. The first settlement was made about 1640, by Rev. John Youngs and others, from
New Haven.3 The government of this colony, like that of several of the earlier New England
settlements, was vested in the church members. None others were allowed to vote or to hold
office; and the Mosaic code was adopted as their law. This exelusiveness was of short duration.
All citizens were soon admitted to the right of suffrage; and in 1657 the Mosaic code was super¬
seded by one better adapted to the circumstances of the people. Upon the union of New Haven
with Conn., in 1662, Southold was united with the latter colony and was represented in General
Court. In 1664 the town passed under the jurisdiction of New York. The first church was
erected in 1641, in the village of Southold.4 There are now 17 churches in town.5
