William Hallock, whose ancestry is unknown (or not traced here), was born at England, about 1610.1 He died at Aquebogue, Suffolk Co., New York, 28 September 1684.1

William married Margaret Howell, whose ancestry is unknown (or not traced here), say 1640.1,2

For £40, he purchased a parcel from Thomas Mapes, 14 February 1667/68:
All that the whom lott and dwelling house thereon erected wherein Thomas Brush did formerly inhabit with all doores, locks, garden, orchards etc, with one third lott of erable Land in the Old field:--foretenn acres of woodland at the Northsea:--two thirds of one eighteen acre Lott, adjoyning to the said Lott, only a highway betwixt: two six acre lotts at Toms Creeke; --A lot at Hogg Neck:--two thirds of his meadow at Oysterponds,--and full commonage appertaining to a second lott in Southold:--Also three acres in the fresh meadows.3
His land holdings were summarized, 30 September 1675:
William Hallock his Land at Occobock being a second lott buting from sea to sea, the Land of Thomas Osman on the east, and the land of John Concklinne west.
His meadowe on this side the River--the meadowe of Thomas Mapes on the east--Barnabas Wines his meadowe on the west.
His meadow on the further side the River--Widow Youngs on the west.
More, Three first lotts of meadowe at Accobauke which he had of Master John Booth by vertue of exchainge--the meadowe of the said Master Booth on on side, and the meadowe of William Purrier on the other.
More a percell of meadow purchased of Samuel King lying at Aucquobouke, and between Mrs Welles her right on the west and Mr Hutchson on ye east
Entd. 30 7th month 1675.4
Nine children are named in William's will. Although the Hallock Genealogy quotes from the Suffolk Court of Sessions giving one of the girls as Mary, they inexplicably show a daughter Margaret, and no Mary. As shown in the will, three of the boys are shown in their order, the girls separately. Because John was disowned as "an Obstinate Apostate," his order among the boys cannot be determined, at least not from the will.5,6

William left a will dated 10 February 1683/84, and proved 21 October 1684:
