The construction of the windmill at Hallocks Neck by James Reeve 2 and other members of the community is a testament to the importance of milling to the local economy during the late 17th century. Windmills were used to grind grains, such as corn and wheat, which were staples of the local diet. The construction of the mill also highlights the collaborative nature of community projects during this time, with members of the community coming together to contribute resources and labor to the construction of the mill.
The involvement of Joseph Reeve, the blacksmith, in the construction of the windmill is particularly noteworthy. His expertise in metalworking would have been essential to the construction of the mill's metal components, such as the gears and shafts. It is also interesting to note that Joseph Reeve was a landowner in the community and was involved in the common acreage system, which suggests that he was a respected member of the community.
Overall, the construction of the windmill at Hallocks Neck is a fascinating glimpse into the history of Southold, Long Island, and the importance of milling to the local economy during the late 17th century. It also highlights the collaborative nature of community projects during this time, with members of the community coming together to contribute their resources and expertise to the construction of a vital community resource.
