[Edward Manning Ruttenber (1872)] tion given of the western bounds of Evans's first purchase, which expressly says it extended all along said hills, etc., and the river Pakadasank southerly to a pond called Mallolaudy (Mare-tange), lying on the top of the said hills. Nothing could more plainly point out where that pond lies, and which is the right pond, than the river Pakadasank which takes its rise at the foot of the said hills, opposite the said pond and extends northerly along the foofof the said hills from a place called Pakadasank, where the Indians who sold the land had a large settlement, and from that place to the head of the said river, and nowhere else, the said river is called by that name. And the said In dian settlement called Pekadasank is said to be included in the first purchase, but the line run from Stony point excludes that land for it is southward of their pond." The Pakadasank has its source or head in Maretange pond on what was formerly called the Alas kayer ing mountains or Minnisink hills, flows north through the western part of the town of Crawford, and empties into the Shawangunk kil. Another stream, called the Little Pakadasank has similar source and outlet. There is reason for supposing that the Indian vil lage, from which both streams took their name, was in the present town c f Crawford, Orange county.
