In his will he gave to his son William lands in or near Southold village and to his son John. land at Wading River. The will implies that his son John had married into and joined the "Society of Friends" or Quakers, and has the proviso "that if any one of his sons shall apostatize from the Protestant doctrine and faith as there held by the Church of England, and shall wilfully and of set purpose contemn and neglect the public worship of God suitable to the Protestant doctrine and faith, then what is here willed to him is to pass on to the next lawful heir that shall steadfastly profess and own the said doctrine and faith.” The Westbury meeting of Friends records his death and that of his wife Abagail at Setauket in Brookhaven in 1737. Deeds at Riverhead name only four sons: John, Peter, Benjamin and William, who all settled near their father. The neat buildings of John Hallock and his son John Hallock, Jr., still remain; and in them for more than a century were held the Friends committee meetings and their monthly meetings, but later discontinued. Tradition says that Peter Hallock came with twelve other heads of families to New Haven, Conn., in 1640. The same year they crossed to Long Island Sound at Southold, Peter being the first to step on shore at a spot called "Hallock's Neck." lock: Children of John Hallock and Abagail (Swasey) Hal 5.
