The Indian name of this place, as already shown was, Weec-qu£es-guck, literally ^^ the place of the hark kettle P The abo-riginal settlement appears to have been located at the mouth of the Weghqueghe or Wicker's creek, (William Portuguese creek.) This beantiful stream arises from two distinct springs, situated on the lands of E. W. Wald grove and Frederick B. Wilsie, both of which, running nearly west, unite soon after crossing the Al-bany post road; here, commingled, they flow through a rocky glen enclosed between high wooded banks. Passing under the arch of the Croton aqueduct, the waters again appear rushing over their stony bed until their further progress is checked by the mill dam. Here a pipe of nine hundred feet in length conveys the water lo the neighboring mill, affording a fall of thirty feet to an overshot wheel. In the vicinity of the upper dock, the ravine opens and dis-plays a splendid view of the Hudson River. The road, passing through the gap of the Greenburgh hills west of the Saw Mill Valley, follows the course of the ancient Indian path, which for-merly led to the village of the ^^ Bark Kettle,^^ at the mouth of the Weghqueghe, or Wysquaqua Creek.
