"Pelham Manor," as before mentioned, derived its name from Thomas Pell, the first permanent settler of that region. Pell's possession com- prised 9,166 acres. Of this tract, John Pell, nephew of the first owner, sold 6,100 acres to Governor Leisler in 1688 for the Huguenot settle- ment of New Rochelle, now the city of that name in Westchester County. Pelham Township, of the same county, was also part of the original Pelham Manor. The portion belonging to the borough comprises what was once Annes Hoeck, later called Hell's Neck, and Rodman's Neck, as well as Hunter, Twin, Hart, High and City islands. The original Pell manor-house was situated on the east side of the Eastern Boulevard, near the present Bartow mansion, though another authority says it was located on the extreme end of Pelham Neck. The story runs that while Pell was looking for a site to build his dwelling he noticed nests of fish-hawks in the oaks and chestnuts near Pelham Neck. He was at that time possessed of a superstition that where this bird nested there good luck would come. Between the Bartow mansion and the Sound is the Pell family burial ground. The four stone corner-posts bear the coat-of-arms of the Pell family-a Pelican Gorged-and each has a different inscription.
On the other side of Split Rock Road or Collins Lane along which the Americans retreated, stood the pre-Revolutionary Collins mansion or Joshua Pell House. At the foot of Prospect Hill is the finest Pell mansion of all, remodeled and modernized. The splendid group of pine trees surrounding the house, shade the magnificent columns on either side of the doorway. The unique iron lattice-work forms a pretty bal- cony. On the opposite side can be seen the family coat-of-arms.
At the corner of Wolf's Lane and Boston Road is another modernized Pell house where it is said Howe and his officers seized the very last turkey of the people living there and dined unbidden.
