[Robert Bolton, Jr. (1848)] In the south-west corner of Mount Pleasant, between the Andre brook and the Mill river, (Pocanteco.) is situated Beeckmantown, commonly called the Pocanteco suburb of Tarry town. This place derives its name from the family of the Beeckmans. The residence of Stephen D. Beeckman, M. D., son of the for-mer proprietor stands upon the highest ground of the village im-mediately west of the Irving Institute. To the north of Beeckmantown lies the romantic region of Sleepy Hollow.
