- Who was Daniel B. Hallock?
Daniel B. Hallock appears in this compilation because headstones for his wife and children are found in the Rose Family Cemetery, Brookhaven Hamlet, NY. Daniel's first wife was Ede Rose, who apparently died from childbirth complications; and their daughter Ede died soon after. Both are buried in the Rose Cemetery. A second headstone for a child, Charles B. Hallock, by Daniel and an unidentified second wife was also discovered during the 2008 restoration of the cemetery. The second child's headstone is badly weathered, and his mother's name has not yet been deciphered.
The Hallock family name was ubiquitous on eastern Long Island, being descendents of Peter Hallock of Southold, who was among the band who first settled there about 1640 with the Pilgrim father, the Rev. John Youngs, as their leader.
A candidate Daniel B. Hallock was found in the 1926 compilation "A Hallock genealogy: an attempt to tabulate and set in order the numerous descendants of Peter Hallock who landed at Southold" by Lucius H. Hallock. He was born 3 Nov, 1805 at Middle Island, and had his home in Patchogue. He was of the seventh generation. Lucius Hallock indicates that he married, but provides no additional information; his compilation of the line ends there.
No other likely candidate Daniel Hallocks were found in the Lucius Hallock compilation.
A Daniel B. Hallock, age 40, was found in the 1850 Census for the Town of Brookhaven, NY (perhaps Patchogue, but not confirmed), with wife Joanna. Interestingly, the two eldest children in the household were named Charles and Ede, perhaps after his early children.
No likely candidate Daniel Hallock was found in the 1840 Census for Suffolk County, NY.
No other likely Daniel Hallock candidates have yet been found in internet compilations.
Unfortunately, key evidence that the Daniel B. Hallock above was the husband of Ede Rose and father to Ede Hallock and Charles B. Hallock has not been identified.
