Commentary

The original is said to be a list of names in the order presented in the source material. It is largely assumed that individual households can be identified by the surname groupings.

There are only 791 individuals listed in the first section, despite the claimed total of "800"

Charles Benjamin Moore presents an alphabetical analysis of each name in this list in his Town of Southold, Long Island. Personal index prior to 1698, and index of 1698, J. Medole, New York, 1868.
