[Robert Bolton, Jr. (1848)] all and singular the members, rights, privileges and appurtenances thereunto belonging, &c. The mark of Ann Hook, Signed, sealed and delivered in presence of us, Besly, Benj. Collier. The heirs of Samuel Palmer, viz. Obadiah, Solomon, Nehc-miah, and Sylvanus subsequently sold the great neck, (contain-ing three hundred and twenty acres,) to Josiah Quinby. It ap-pears that Adolph Philipse and Jacobus van Cortlandt purchased (in the lifetime of John Richbell,) the fee simple of certain lands in Mamaroneck, embracing one full and equal half moiety of the west neck; the whole of which afterwards became vested in the person of Frederick Philipse. This individual eventually claim-ed the whole territory north of Westchester path lying above the great neck, so that when the surveyor general, on the ISth of November, 1724, commenced the survey of the great neck, he was stopped by Philipse, when he came above Westchester path. The surveyor however continued the original line until he came to Bronx's river, here again he was opposed by Philipse who for-bad and warned him at his peril to proceed any further, as he claimed all the land beyond Bronx's river by a different title. The twenty mile line north of the great neck would have carried the Richbell patent nearly to the Croton river.
