Moses Ward's land con-sisted of two farms, one containing sixty-seven acres and the other one hundred and fourteen. The first-mentioned farm was a long, narrow strip of land, having the Sing Sing Kill for its northern boundary, and a line which would have been nearly coincident with Main Street for its southern boundary. It ex-tended from the Hudson River on the west to a point some distance beyond the Highland turnpike on the east. The second farm of Moses Ward was almost in the shape of a square, with its northwestern corner, where it touched his smaller farm, cut off.

Baker.
