Indians by sequatarye for that parpose in hering by Epenetus Platt in behalf of the Town of Huntington bounded by a river* eastward that parteth sowampams and joynes nect northerly by two white oake trees marked facing west one of them about three rod or poll from ye estord brook and on ye north side of ye said neck by a sartine river north bound on ye west side ye sd- neck is where ye now Indians paseth ye said river now


[*The frequent mention in the records of rivers on the south side of the town would lead one unacquainted with the terri- tory to infer the existence of streams of considerable size and quite an extensive watershed, but such was not the case. There is no reason to suppose that these brooks were any larger at the first settlement of the town than they are now. They are and were only rivulets, necessarily small, as they drain a small area of territory, generally taking their rise in low swampy lands, perhaps two or three miles from the general line of the shore of the Great South Bay. Their beds lying nearly on a level with the sea shore, the tide rises and falls a long way up the streams and covers much low salt grass land near the shore, so that about their mouths they have considerable width, but only a trifling current, except as created by the ebb and flow of the tide. To the unsophisticated Indians, the most of whom had never seen a river of much size, these brooks probably seemed grand rivers, and when they made their deeds to the whites their descriptions were incorporated into the in- strument. The Indians had a name for every little rivulet, into the mouth of which they ran their canoes for shelter. The English settlers here continued to call these little brooks rivers, their ideas having probably been formed on the miniature rivers of their native country .- C. R. S.]
