History of Westchester County, New York — Passage 15
[J. Thomas Scharf (1886)] 1684. Bolton gives the deed twice. The first time i (i. p. 270) he calls it " The Deedof Neppiran,':andthe second time (i. p. 507) " The Deed of Weckquaskeck." The tract lay along the Saw-Mill River and was Weckquaskeck territory. He gives the date of the deed as June 5, 1684. The difference between May 7th, as given above, and June 5th, is again without doubt that of the interval between the purchase and the conveyance. 6. The Sintsinck tract. This was granted, rati-fied and confirmed to Philipse by Dongan on the 11th of November, 1686. Date from charter. It had. however, been bought of the Indians by Philipse August 24, 1(585, and confirmed by Dongan to his son Philip Philipse, January 12, 16S6. The charter re-cites that Philip reconvened it to his father, which accounts for the fact that in the following November it was confirmed to him the second time (Bolton, vol. ii. pp. 2, 3). 7. The Tappan Meadows," confirmed to Philipse by Dongan June 27, 1687. Date from charter, which also states that Philipse had bought the meadows from George Lockhart and Janet, his wife, February 20, 1685. 8. The Lower Yonkers tract. The particulars of the purchase of this tract we cannot find. It is included in the grant of the great charter of June 12, 1693. It embraced the island of Paperinemen, or Paperinemo.
