"Peter Hallock, the ancestor of those of the name in this country, was one of thirteen pilgrim fathers, including Rev. John Youngs, who in 1640 fled from civil and religious oppression in England, and landed at New Haven (Connecticut). 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 after 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 the auspices of Rev. John Davenport, minister, and Theophilus Eaton, governor of the New Haven Colony, which had just been planted April 18, 1638, under a branching oak - a virtual theocracy, the Bible their code of laws, ecclesiastical and civil.  In the same autumn Rev. Mr. Youngs and his church took up their abode in Southold then comprising the whole North-eastern branch of Long Island, landing at the harbor of what is now Southold Village, on the Peconic Bay, where as a church or town, they retained their connection with the New Haven Colony till 1662, and with Connecticut till 1674.  (Editor's Note: Connecticut and and Long Island are directly across Long Island Sound from each other. Southold is south and east of New Haven about 30 miles - by water.)  Reverend Mr. Youngs continued his ministry thirty-two years, and died Feb 14, 1672, age 74, as by his tombstone. The twelve men who, with members of their families constituted his church were: William Wells, Esq, Barnaboas Horton, and John Conklin, (whose graves are near that of their pastor), PETER HALLOCK (emphasis added), John Tuthill, Richard Terry, Thomas Mapes, Matthias Corwin, Robert Ackerley, Jacob Corey, Isaac Arnold, and John Budd, the first white settlers in that part of the island.
