The deed purports to convey all the territory lying between the head of Cow Harbor, now Northport, and the Smithtown River, including Eatons Neck. As their ancestors had in 1656 conveyed the same premises, the deed was hardly necessary and its utility is not apparent. This is the last of the Indian deeds .- C. R. S.1
