from Werekepes, sachem, Sackaghemeck, Sewiskka- mock, alias Hans, Apiskaeuw, Cashoros, Csquameck, Moringamaghan, Poghghock, and Kaghtsikoos, the lands owned by " themselves and copartners," being a tract beginning " at about a place called the Dancing Chamber ; thence south to the north side of the land called Haverstraw ; thence northwest along the hill called Skoonnenoghky to the bounds of his purchase from the Esopus Indians aforesaid, including the Murderer's Creek." The consideration was 150 fathoms of wampum, 120 royals, 20 fathoms duf- fels, 6 guns, 7 brass kettles, 8 blankets, 6 fathoms strouds, 2 cloth coats, 2 broad axes, 5 pair shoes, 6 children's shirts, 20 knives, 50 lbs. powder, 30 bars lead, 25 lbs. shot, 2 rolls tobacco, 4 iron pots, 10 to- bacco tongues, 10 tobacco-boxes, 4 lbs. bood, 2 half- vats single beer, 2 half-vats double beer, 5 glass bot- tles, 5 earthen jugs, 2 pewter dishes, 2 bottles, with rum, 100 tobacco pipes, 10 hatchets, 6 drawing-knives, 4 addz, 10 hoes, 10 pair stockings, 8 shirts, 6 pistols, 10 children's blankets, 2 boys' cloth coats, 6 boys' duffel coats, 20 gallons rum, £2* paid Frederick Phillipse, £2 paid Stephanus Van Cortlandt.

Not only had the Indians previously sold to Mac- Gregorie a portion of the lands which by this sale they conveyed to Dongan, but Stephanus Van Cort- landt held their deed for a tract opposite Anthony's Nose. The purchase was made July 13, 1683, and the tract described as " beginning on the south side of a creek called Sankapogh, and so along said creek to the head thereof, and then northerly along the high hills as the river runneth to another creek called Assinapink, and thence along the said creek to Hud- son's River again, together with a certain island and parcel of meadow-land, near or adjoining the same, called Manahawaghkin, and by the Christians, Salis- bury Island." Sackaghemeck, sachem of Haver- straw, Werekepes, and Kaghtsikoos were the grantors. Luckily, he preserved his deed, and under it succeeded in obtaining a patent attaching his purchase to his manor, on the opposite side of the river.

But the MacGregorie colonists were not so fortunate. Governor Dongan conveyed his two purchases to Capt. John Evans by patent Sept. 12, 1694, under the title of the Lordship and Manor of Fletcherdon. Mac- Gregorie, after serving the province in the capacity of muster-general of the militia and as its agent among the northwestern Indians in a district of country which had not been previously visited, had yielded up his life in the Leslie revolution of 1691, and a peaceful death had closed the earthly cares of David Toshuck in the bosom of his family, at Plum Point. To dispossess the heirs was the first work of Evans, to whose shame it is written that he compelled MacGregorie's widow, Margaret, to sell to him the house in which she lived for "£30 or £35, to the

ruin of herself and family." To her and to ler sur- viving neighbors he thien granted leases, thus preserv- ing title and possession, as well as the continuity of the settlement. The Scotch settlers who remained in possession under these leases obtained no subsequent patent titles, except in the case of the heirs of Mac- Gregorie, to whom, some years later, a patent was granted for the Plum Point farm, and also for a mountain tract, in consideration of their claim.

The fourth settlement, and by far the most consid- erable, was made adjoining the "Christian patented lands of Haverstraw." It was composed of immi- grants from Holland, principally members of the Reformed Dutch Church. Among them were de- scendants or relatives of David Pieterson de Vries, who had occupied a conspicuous position in the earlier history of the province, and had established a plantation which he called Vriesendael, situated "in a beautiful valley just below the mountains." Driven thence during the war of 1645, he had taken to Holland a memory which had been treasured by his family and neighbors, who, on their arrival, selected a location in the vicinity, if not embracing the site, of his ancient "little bouwerie." Obtaining, through trustees selected for that purpose, a title from "the native Indian proprietors," and being in num- bers sufficient to demand it, they were granted (March 20, 1686) a township patent, "under the ' name of the Town of Orange," with all the powers " practiced or belonging unto any town within this Government." The trustees of the grant were Cor- nelis Claessen Cuyper, Daniel de Klercke, Peter Harnich, Cattis Harnich, Gerritt Stenmetts, John de Vries, Sr., John de Vries, Jr., Claes Mannde, Jan Stratemaker, Staaes de Groot, Arean Lammeates, Lamont Ariannis, Huybert Gerryts, Johannes Gerrits, Eide Van Vorst, and Cornelius Lammerts. The boundaries of the tract were defined as "beginning at the mouth of Tappan Creek where it falls into the meadow and running from thence along the north side of the said creek to a creeple bush and falls into Hackinsack River, northerly to a place called the Greenbush, and from thence along said Greenbush easterly to the lands of Class Janse and Dowe Har- manse,t and from thence southerly along said land upon the top of the hills to the aforementioned mouth of Tappan Creek where it falls into the meadow aforesaid." The centre of the township was at Tap- pan, where a glebe for the support of a minister was laid out and a church organized .;

A vacant tract of land, immediately west of Hav- erstraw, was conveyed by deed and patent (the latter, June 25, 1696) to Daniel Honan and Michael Hawdon. This tract, which is described as being known by the

name of Kuck-quack-ta-wake (Kakiate), was "bounded | on the east by the Christian patented lands of Haver- straw, on the north by a creek called Shamorack or Peasqua, which runs under a great hill, from which it continues a west course until the west-southwest side of a barren plain called Wishpegwrap bears south, thence to the west-southwest side of aforesaid plain, from thence south-southwest until the said line comes to a creek that runs to David Demaree's creek to the south side of the land called Marranchaw, and thence down the said creek to the Christian patented lands." Adjoining this tract on the south, Samuel Bayard was granted certain tracts called Whorinims, Perseck, Gemackie, and Narrashunck, "bounded north by the land of Daniel Honan and Michael Hawdon, south by the parting line of this Province and the Jerseys, west by Saddle River, and east by Demaree's Creek," containing two thousand acres. The Indian deed for this and several other purchases was covered by one to Lucas Tienhoven, embracing by survey one hun- dred thousand acres, but for which no patent was issued.

Between the township of Orange and the Haver- straw lands the rocky bluff known as Verdrietig Hook, by the Indians called Quaspeeck, including Rockland Lake, became the subject of controversy between "John Hutchins and Company" and "Jarvis Marshall and Company." Both parties obtained deeds, but the latter apparently had priority in date of purchase and were granted (Sept. 27, 1694) the patent, the patentees being Jarvis Marshall and Wil- liam Welch. At a later period (April 23, 1708) a patent to Lancaster Syms, Robert Walter, and Hen- drick Ten Eycke covered the vacant river-front, de- scribed as "beginning by the south bounds of Hav- erstraw, thence west to the northermost end of the land or island called Mattasink or Welch's Island, thence southerly to the southermost end of said island, then east to the creek that runs out of the pond npon Verdrietig Hook and along the same to the IIudson, then north to the place of beginning, except the grant to Honan and Hawdon."

The patents described covered the entire district on the Hudson from the New Jersey line to New Paltz, and extended west to the line of the Shawangunk Mountains. While they were being taken up, some entries had also been made on the Delaware River. Arent Schuyler, employed by the government as an interpreter of the Indian language and as an agent among the Indian tribes, obtained (May 20, 1697), on previous deed from the Minisinks, a patent for one thousand acres, more particularly described as a " tract of land in the Minisink country called by the native Indians Sankhekeneck, otherwise Mayhawaem; also another tract, called Warinsayskmeck, situated upon a river called Mennessincks before a certain island called Menagnock, which tract is adjacent or near to a tract of land called Maghaghkemek." In the same year (October 14th) a patent was granted to Jacob !

Codebec, Thomas Swartwont, Anthony Swartwont, Bernardus Swartwout, Jan Tyse, Peter Gimar, and David Jamison, for "a certain quantity of land at a place called Maghaghkemek, being the quantity of one thousand two hundred acres; beginning at the western bounds of the lands called Nepeneck, to a small stream of water called by the Indian name of Assawagkemeck, and so along said run of water and the lands of Mansjoor the Indian."

It has been claimed that there was a settlement in the vicinity of the Swartwout Patent some time prior to the date of that instrument. At an early period what was known as " the old mine road" was opened be- tween Esopus and the Delaware, constructed, it is said, by a company of Dutch miners. This road ran through the Mamakating Valley, north of the Shaw- angunk Mountains, was continued in the valley of the Maghaghkemek branch of the Delaware, and pen- etrated the Minisinks proper east of that river. Here, it is added, the company discovered copper, worked a mine, and transported its product over the road which they had constructed to the Esopus settlement. Unfortunately for the value of the tradition, the road was simply the enlargement of an Indian trail which had been followed for ages, while the mine referred to was in what is now the town of Warren, Sussex Co., N. J. The boundaries of the question are still fur- ther circumscribed by the fact that the Dutch at Esopus, during the war of 1660-63, had little knowledge of the country even east of the Shawangunk Mountains, and that the Minisink country was penetrated, if at a much earlier period, by the way of the Delaware River.

Nor is it true that the first settlement was on the Swartwout Patent. At the date of issue of that patent, Jacob Codebec, Thomas Swartwont, Anthony Swart- wout, and Peter Guimar* were residents of New Paltz or of Kingston. They certainly had not made set- tlement on the Delaware in 1690. But there was set- tlement there, about that time, by one William Tiet- soort, a blacksmith, who in a petition to the Governor and Council of New York, dated April 10, 1708, states that he was formerly a resident of Schenectady, and that from the massacre at that place, in 1689, he barely escaped with his life; that having friends in the Esopus country he removed thither, where, being known by the friendly Indians, he was invited by them to take up his residence in the Minisink country, the Indians voluntarily granting unto him a tract of land situate and being at Maghaghkemek, named and

+ Peter Guimar, a native or Moir Saintonge, was married to Esther llasbroueq, native of the Palatinate, at New Paltz, April IS, 1692. He left his native place in company with Codebec in 1685, or rather the families of Abraham Gnimar and James Codebec, of which he and Jacob Codebee were minor members, came out together. That Codebec, Swart- wout, and Guimar were what may be regarded as the first permanent set- llers on the pateut will not be disputed, but there were three settle- ments in the ancient precinct,-" Big" and " Little Minisink," end the " neighborhood of Maghaghkemek," and were recognized by the law of 1701.

known by the name of Schaikaeckamick, in an elbow ; that he obtained license to purchase Oct. 15, 1698, that he so purchased,* and that his possessions were subsequently assumed to be included in a purchase by and patent to Matthew Ling, against which lie asked protection. There is very little room to doubt that he was the first settler on the western border. His deed from the Indians was obtained subsequently, as his gift-title could not be regarded as strictly legal. It bears date June 3, 1700, and is duly recorded in Ulster records.

Active competition in the extinguishment of In- dian titles by purchase and obtaining patents sprung up at the opening of the succeeding century. Asso- ciations were formed, not unfrequently mainly com- posed of those holding official positions under the government, and large grants obtained. Three prin- cipal patents of this class necessarily require notice in this connection. The first, the Chesekook Patent, was included in a purchase from "Moringamaghan, Skawgus, Ughquaw, Onickotapp, and Aioqhquaherae, native Indians, proprietors," Dec. 30, 1702, by "Doc- tor John Bridges, Hendrick Ten Eycke, Derick Van- denburgh, John Cholwell, Christopher Denn, Lan- caster Syms, and John Merritt," of a "certain tract of upland and meadow called Chesekook, bounded north by the patent line of Capt. John Evans, to the west by the high hills of the Highlands, to the south by Honan and Hawdon's Patent, and to the east by the lands of the bounds of Haverstraw and Hudson's River," and for which they received a patent March 25, 1707. The second, the Wawayanda Patent, was on a purchase (March 5, 1703) from " Rapingonick, Wawastawa, Moghopuck, Cornelawaw, Nanawitt, Ar- awinack, Rombont, Claus, Chouckhass, Chingapaw, Oshasquememus, and Quilapaw, native Indians and proprietors," by "Doctor John Bridges, Hendrick Ten Eycke, Derick Vandenburgh, John Cholwell, Christopher Denn, Lancaster Syms, Daniel Honan, Philip Rokeby, John Merritt, Benjamin Aske, Peter Mathews, and Cornelius Christianse," for a "certain sum of money and goods," of " certain tracts or par- cels of vacant lands named Wawayanda, and some

* From a joint affidavit made by him and his son Jacob, in 1717, it ap- pears that he aold two parcels of land at Maghaghkemek, in 1713, to Jan Decker, who, with his cousin, "young Jan Decker," were to occupy one of the parcels, and his brother, Hendrick Decker, the other. He was then a resident of Duchess County, to which he probably removed immediately after bis sale to Decker. In a list of residents of Duchess Conuty in 1714 is the following entry : " William Tetsort, number of male persons above sixty years, one ; number of male persons from sixteen tu sixty, tiro ; num- ber of feniales from sixteen to sixty, two ; number of femalea nnder sixteen, one." From which it may be inferred that he was then over sixty years of age, and that his family was composed of himself, his wife, two sons, aud two daughters. His wife ia sail to have been Sarah Decker, and that her name, with his own, is recorded in the records of Maghughkemek Church in 1739, at the baptism of their son Bernardaa. The truth of this statement may be doubted, however, unless Bernardus was a very old boy, or Sarah Decker was a second wife, for Tietsoort hinself must have been over eighty-two years of age at the time. The family subse- quently settled in Wantage, N. J., where the name is now written Tits- worth.

other small tracts or parcels of land, being bounded on the eastward by the high hills of the Highlands and the patent of Capt. John Evans, on the north by the division line of the counties of Orange and Ulster, on the westward by the high hills to the eastward of Minisinks, and on the south by the division line of the provinces of New York and East Jersey." The patent was granted April 29, 1703.

The third grant, the Minisink Patent, was still more extensive. It was issued Aug. 28, 1704, to Matthew Ling, Ebenezer Wilson, Philip French, Derick Van- denburgh, Stephen de Lancey, Philip Rokeby, John Corbett, Daniel Honan, Caleb Cooper, William Sharpas, Robert Milward, Thomas Wenham, Lan- caster Syms, John Person, Benjamin Aske, Petrus Bayard, John Cholwell, Peter Fanconier, Henry Swift, Hendrick Ten Eycke, Jarvis Marshall, Ann Bridges (widow of John Bridges), and George Clark, and conveyed to them "all that part of Orange and Ulster Counties, beginning at a place in Ulster County called Hunting House, or Yagh House, lying to the northeast of land called Bashe's land, thence to run west by north until it meets the Fishkill or main branch of Delaware River, thence to run southerly to the south end of Great Minisink Island, thence due south to the land lately granted to John Bridges and Company (Wawayanda), and so along that patent as it runs northward and the patent of Capt. John Evans, and thence to the place of beginning." The grant con- solidated two grants, one to Philip French and Com- pany, and one to Ebenezer Wilson and Company, and only excepted from its sweeping boundaries the tract called Sankhekeneck or Mayhawaem, with a parcel of meadow called Warinsayskmeck, previously granted to Arent Sehnyler, and a tract called Maghaghkemek, near Nepeneck, granted to Jacob Codebec and others.

Had the purchasers a deed from the Indians? Not only is there none on record, but Sir William Johnson writes, " An elderly man who lived in the Highlands, and at whose house I dined on my way from New York some years ago, told me that he lived with or in the neighborhood of Depuy, and was present when the said Depuyt purchased the Minisink lands from the Indians; that when they were to sign the deed of sale he made them drunk, and never paid them the money agreed upon. He heard the Indians fre- quently complain of the fraud, and declare that they would never be easy until they had satisfaction for their lands."# When in 1757 the wronged red men swept the western border with devastation, it was their declaration that they would never "leave off killing the English until tlicy were paid for their lands, mentioning Minisink almost to the Hudson River."

+ Samnel Depuy was settled on the west bank of the Delaware, three miles above the Water Gap. He was one of the Walloons who came to New York about 1697. He became a large laud-owner in Pennsylvania, aud was well known to all who traveled " the mine road." It is possible that he is referred to in the text.

HISTORY OF ORANGE COUNTY, NEW YORK.

The boundary lines of the Chesekook, Wawayanda, Minisink, and Evans Patents were for a long time a disturbing element. They were entirely undefined, except in general terms. The west line of Chese- kook and the cast line of Wawayanda was designated by a mountain range; the east line of Minisink and the west line of Wawayanda was also a mountain range, and so in part was the north line of both the Chesekook and the Wawayanda, or rather the south- west line of the Evans Patent, to which they ran. In the subsequent adjustment of the latter, together with that of the county line, a portion of the territory claimed by the Wawayanda patentees was cut off. while on the west an angle was formed, known as the Minisink AAngle, embracing a tract of one hundred and thirty thousand acres.

The granting of immense tracts of land aroused the attention of the English government in 1698. Investigation followed and resulted in annulling the patent to Capt. Evans, by act of the Assembly, May 12, 1699. Notwithstanding the policy of issuing patents for small tracts, upon which the repeal of the Evans Patent was predicated, was abandoned in the almost immediately following issue of the Wawayanda, Mini- sink, and similar large grants, the territory which the Evans Patent covered was conveyed in small tracts by patents issued at different periods from 1701 to 1775, but principally prior to 1750, and were-exclu- sive of those not included in the present boundaries of the county-as follows :
