February 8, 1682, Governor Thomas Dongan gave Francis Rombout and Gulian Ver Planck a license to purchase the above named tract of the Wappinger Indians. The purchase was consum- mated and the native title extinguished August 8, 1683, and a patent issued therefor October 17, 1685 ; but prior to the latter date Ver Planck died ; hence Stephanus VanCourtlandt became associated with Rombout, and Jacobus Kipp became the rep- resentative of Ver Planck's children. The follow- ing copy of the Indian deed for this tract, which Ruttenber says is the only "perfect transfer title on record," of the possessions of the Wappingers, is recorded on page 72, vol. 5, Book of Patents. It is an interesting document, and no apology is needed for its introduction here. We cheerfully acknowledge our indebtedness for it to the Histor- ical Sketch of the Town of Fiskkill, by Mr. T. Van Wyck Brinkerhoff, of East Fishkill, published in the Directory of that town for 1866 :-

Schuyler's Patent, granted by Governor Thomas Dongan to Col. Peter Schuyler, June 2, 1688, consisted of two tracts; "one near Maghdalen's Island," embraced in the present town of Red Hook ; the other, apparently, corresponding with that portion of the Rombout Patent lying north of Wappinger's Creek, in the present town of Pough- keepsie,* and thus described on page 278, Book A of Deeds in the clerk's office in Poughkeepsie :-

"Scituate, Lying and being on ye East side of Hudson's River in Dutches county at A Certaine Place Caled ye Long Reach Slenting Over Against Juffrow's Hook | At a Place Called the Rust Plaest.# Runs from Thence East Ward into the wood to A Creek Caled by The Indians Pietawickquasick Knowne by the Christians for Jan Casperses Creek

t "Jeffrows " or "Jeffroos Hook " is on the west bank of the Hudson, opposite the south part of the city of Poughkeepsie.

#"Rust Plates Kill" empties into the Hudson on the east side, nearly opposite Jeffrows Hook. April 3, 1742, Johannis Van Kleeck, aged 62 years, and Myndert Van Den Bogart, aged about 60, both of Poughkeep- sie Precinct, being duly sworn declared "that the Rust place (which Bounds Mr. Henry Van Den Burgh & Compy. on the north, and Myn- dert Harmse & Company on the south, according To a Deed Given them by Coll. Peter Schuyler, which lays and is on ye East Side of Hudson's River Slanting over against Juffrows Hook and Lays in Poghkeepsie Precinct,) * * * is the only rust place and which was meant in said Schuyler's Deed and that there is no other in said pattent." Both Van Kleeck and Van Den Bogart said they had known the "Rust place" to be called by that name for fifty years before .- Book A, Deeds, Clerk's Office, Poughkeepsie.

The latter tract was conveyed by Schuyler to Robert Saunders and Myndert Harmense August 30, 1699 ; but both tracts were for many years in possession of Henry Beekman, probably as a lease- holder, as appears from the following document :-

The Nine Partners' Patent (Great or Lower) was granted by Gov. Benjamin Fletcher, May 27, 1697; to Col. Caleb Heathcote, Major Augustus (or Au- gustin) Graham, James Emott, Lieut .- Col. Henry Filkins, David Jamison, Hendryck Ten Eyck, John Aaretson, William Creed and Jarvis Marshall, nine men of wealth and influence. It embraced the present towns of Clinton, Pleasant Valley, Stan- ford and Washington, except a small strip along the north border of Clinton and Stanford, that por- tion of Hyde Park south and east of Crum Elbow Creek, and Amenia and the southern part of North East, except the Oblong, which was afterwards de- fined. Its boundaries are thus defined in deeds derived from it :---

"A Tract of Vacant Land Situate, Lying and Being on Hudson's River in Dutchess County. Bounded on the west by the said Hudson River Between the Creek called Fish Creek [Crum Elbow ?] at the marked Trees of pauling (Includ- ing the said Creeke) and the Land of Myndert Harmensen & Company then Bounded southerly by the Land of said Myndert Harmense and com- pany as far as their bounds goes then westerly by

the Land of the said Harmense and untill a south- erly line runs so far south untill it comes to the south side of a certain Meadow wherein there is a White Oak Tree markt with the Letters H. T. then southerly by an east and west Line to the Division Line between the province of New York and the colony of Connecticut and so Easterly to the said Division Line and Northerly by the aforesaid Fish Creeke as far as it goes and from the head of said Creeke by a parallel line to the south Bounds east and west Reaching the aforesaid Division Line."

The tract was divided into thirty-six principal lots and nine " water lots," the latter fronting upon the Hudson. The lots varied in size according to the quality of the land, but were nearly equal.

The Poughkeepsie Patent, embracing the major portion of the town of Poughkeepsie, was granted to Henry Ten Eyck and eight others, by Governor Benjamin Fletcher, May 7, 1697.

The Rhinebeck Patent, embraced within the limits of the towns of Rhinebeck and Red Hook, was granted to Henry Beekman, June 8, 1703.

The Beekman Patent, which comprised the towns of Beekman and Unionvale, the easterly portion of LaGrange, and Dover and Pawling, except the Oblong, was granted to Henry Beekman, June 25, 1703.

The Little or Upper Nine Partners' Patent was granted April 10, 1706, to Samson Broughton, Rip Van Dam, Thomas Wenham, Roger Mompesson, Peter Fauconier, Augustin Graham, Richard Sackett and Robert Lurting, and comprised the towns of Milan and Pine Plains, the north half of North East, and the small portions of Clinton and Stanford not covered by the Great Nine Partners' Patent. It was bounded as follows :-

" Beginning at the North Bounds of the Lands And then lately purchased by said Richard Sackett in Dutchess county, and runs thence South Easterly by his north bounds to Wimposing thence by the mountains southerly to the south east corner of the said Sackett's Land and thence Easterly to the Colony Line of Connecticut and thence Northerly by the said colony Line and Wiantenuck River to the south bounds of lands purchased by John Spragg &c. at Owissetanuck thence westerly by the said purchase as it runs to the south-west cor- ner thereof thence to the Mannor of Livingston and by the south bounds thereof unto the lands purchased and patented to Coll. Peter Schuyler over against Magdelons Island and so by the said purchase and patent To the patent of Coll. Beek- man for Land Lying over against Clyne Esopus Fly and thence by the said Land to the said south east corner and thence to the place where it begun."

This tract was confirmed by Queen Anne to the above named patentees September 25, 1708; and in 1734, the Colonial Assembly passed a law author-

izing its partition. A deed for three hundred acres of this tract, given October 20, 1740, by Richard Sackett, Richard Sackett, Jr., and John Sackett to Johann Tise Smith, recites that "some native Indians of said county [Duchess] and there re- siding lay claim to some part of the above demised and granted premises." This has reference doubt- less to the Shekomeko Indians.

The Oblong Patent covers a tract of land, named from its figure, and extends in a narrow strip along the east borders of Duchess, Putnam and Westches- ter counties. It contains 61,440 acres, and was ceded to the State of New York as an equivalent for lands on the sound, eight by twelve miles in extent, surrendered by that State to Connecticut. It was originally called the "Equivalent land," and is so referred to in colonial documents.

The boundary line between New York and Con- necticut has been in dispute from an early period in the Dutch Colonial history. An effort to adjust this difficulty was made at Hartford, Sept. 19, 1650, by Commissioners representing the United English Colonies and New Netherland. It was then agreed that "the bounds upon the main " should " begin at the west side of Greenwich Bay, being about four miles from Stamford, and so to run a northerly line twenty miles up into the country, and after as it shall be agreed by the two governments, * * provided that the said line come not within ten miles of Hudson River." The Dutch were pro- hibited from building thereafter "any house or habitation within six miles of the said line." The inhabitants of Greenwich were to remain under the government of the Dutch till further considera- tion was had ; and the Dutch were to "hold and enjoy all the lands in Hartford that they [were] actually possessed of; " while the remainder of the lands on both sides of the Connecticut were to remain in possession of the English.

But that agreement was by no means preserved inviolate. The encroachments of the Connecticut colonists proved one of the most serious problems that vexed the Dutch colonial administration. When the English superseded the Dutch in 1664, they had extended their settlements on the sea coast to within ten miles of the Hudson ; and as they desired to retain their connection with the Connecticut government, with which their sympa- thies and associations brought them into close affiliation, an effort was made in that year to adjust the boundary in harmony with those wishes, and with due regard to the claims of the Duke of York. Commissioners were appointed by Charles II., of

England, who determined on a line parallel with the Hudson and twenty miles distant from it on the east, " reserving, however, to Connecticut, the settlements actually made, though within less than ten miles from Hudson's River, for which they were to allow an equivalent in the inland parts, where they had no settlements. By this equivalent the distance between Hudson's River and the colony of Connecticut in the upper parts is about twenty- two miles."

The line thus agreed upon "being considered as fraudulent, or erroneous," and having given rise to a dispute respecting the right of government over the towns of Rye and Bedford, in Westchester county, another agreement was concluded Novem- ber 28, 1683, between Colonel Thomas Dongan, Governor of New York, in behalf of the Duke of York, on the one side, and Governor Robert Treat, Major Nathaniel Gold, Captain John Allyn and William Pitkin, of Connecticut, on the other. The line then determined on commences at "Lyons Point," on the east bank and at the mouth of By- ram River, and proceeds thence " one mile and a half and twenty rods," " as the said river runneth to the place where the common road or wading place over the said river is ;" thence " north north- west into the country" six and a half miles, "to a point eight miles distant from Lyons Point ;" thence eastward twelve miles in the general direc- tion of the Sound and eight miles distant from it ; thence twelve miles north north-west; and thence "parallel to Hudson's River in every point, twenty miles distant from the river, so far as the Con- necticut colony doth extend northwards." It was provided that, if these bounds encroached upon lands within twenty miles of the Hudson, a strip should be taken from Connecticut, east of and ex- tending the whole length of the line running par- allel with the river, of such width as would make an equivalent compensation therefor. The towns of Rye and Bedford were adjudged by the latter commission to be subject to the New York govern- ment. By a survey made in 1684, it was deter- mined that the line running parallel with the Sound would, if prolonged "one mile and sixty-four rods," reach a point twenty miles distant from the Hud- son, and that the oblong of eight by twelve miles diminished "sixty-one thousand four hundred and forty acres from the twenty miles from Hud- son's River ;" therefore a strip " three hundred and five rods" in width was annexed on the line run- ning parallel with the Hudson, which was deemed to extend one hundred miles from the terminus of

DISPUTE OVER THE NEW YORK AND CONNECTICUT BOUNDARY LINE.

the eight mile line .* This agreement was respected till the beginning of the year 1697, when, as ap- pears by a letter from Governor Fletcher, dated June 22, 1697, the towns of Rye and Bedford "re- volted from New York to Connecticut," "to avoid the payment of some arrears of taxes ;" and Con- necticut having " owned them as members of that colony," the execution of a writ for the election of a Representative to the General Assembly of New York, was "disturbed at Rye in a hostile man- ner." It became necessary therefore to apply to the English Crown for a confirmation of the agree- ment, which was given March 28, 1700.

"Nineteen years afterwards," says Smith, "a probationary act was passed, empowering the Gov- ernor to appoint commissioners, as well to run the line parallel to Hudson's River, as to re-survey the other lines and distinguish the boundary. The Connecticut agent opposed the King's confirma- tion of this act, totis viribus ; but it was approved on the 23d of January, 1723. Two years after, the commissioners and surveyors of both colonies met at Greenwich, and entered first into an agree- ment relating to the method of performing the work. The survey was immediately after executed in part, the report being dated on the 12th of May, 1725 ; but the complete settlement was not made till the 14th of May, 1731, when indentures, certi- fying the execution of the agreement in 1725, were mutually signed by the commissioners and survey- ors of both colonies. At this time the tract known as the Oblong was ceded to New York as an equiva- lent for the lands near the Sound, the peaceable possession of which Connecticut had enjoyed during all the intervening years."

"The manner of setting off this strip," says a writer in the Poughkeepsie Eagle, of recent date, "was the main cause of later disputes, as instead of running a new line where the boundary was to be, and marking it with suitable monuments, the sur- veyors ran the old line on the west side of the ' Oblong' to be set off, and every two miles made offsets toward the east, of such distance as to make the oblong contain the required number of acres. In making these offsets, measuring as they had to through an unbroken wilderness, through swamps and over mountains, hardly two of the lines were of equal length, and as a result the line, instead of being straight as was intended, bowed into Connecticut. * * * At the time this line was determined on it made very little difference whether it bowed into Connecticut or New York, as the territory was entirely wild and unsettled, and is so largely even to the present day, but as settle- ments increased and the stone heaps that had been

piled up for monuments and the trees which had been marked began to disappear, disputes again arose which no one had authority to settle ; so in 1855, another effort was made to obtain a final settlement of the vexed question; and Hon. Ben. Field, Samuel D. Backus and Jonathan Tarbell were appointed Commissioners on the part of this State, and Hon. Wm. H. Holly and Jason Whiting on the part of Connecticut for that purpose. These Commissioners made a survey from the Sound north to the point where the ceded territory to New York began, from which point the Connecti- cut Commissioners insisted a straight line should be run to the Massachusetts line, while the New York Commissioners insisted it should run through the old monuments as far as they could be ascer- tained. Various efforts were made at compromise, but nothing was effected, and the commission was finally dissolved. In 1859 another effort was made, and new Commissioners appointed by both sides, consisting of Isaac Platt, Jacob Vroman and Lean- der D. Brown, on the part of New York, and Oliver A. Perry, Joseph R. Hawley and Philip D. Bebee, on the part of Connecticut. This commission in 1859 held many meetings and made sufficient examination of the line to convince them that the old monuments could be found in almost every in- stance, but the Connecticut Commissioners still in- sisted on the straight line, with slight modification, while the New York Commissioners insisted on the old line as far as practicable. One of the principal bones of contention was the village of Amenia Union in this county, the Main street of which had been considered the boundary line from time immemorial, and which village the straight line would have put entirely in Connecticut. At one time the Connecticut Commissioners conceded so much as to agree to still call this street the line, and run from the north end of it straight to the Massachusetts line, and from the south straight to the southern end of the oblong, but that was not accepted by New York."
