J. Thomas Scharf (1886) 73 words View original →

[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] In his map of the Indian territory of Westchester County he contradicts it by carefully encircling the Saw-Mill to its very mouth with the word "Weckquaskecks" and by so turning off the word " Manhat tans" as to make it include only the towns of Morrisauia, West farml-and perhaps Westchester. We notice also that he calls the castle of Nipnichscn, on Bcnian's Neck (Spuyten Duyvil Point), a Sfohegttll castle, which is certainly correct.
