[Frederic Shonnard & W.W. Spooner (1900)] called Mammaranock Neck, and the Westermost is bounded with richbell's mamaroneck purchase 127 Mr. Pell's purchase." The three necks later became known as the East, Middle, and West Necks. All the meadows, rivers, and islands thereunto belonging were included in the sale; and it was also specified that Eichbell or his assigns might " freely feed cattle or cutt timber twenty miles Northward from the marked Trees of the Necks.'' As payment, he was to deliver to Wappaquewam, half within about a month and the other half in the following spring, twenty-two coats, one hundred fathom of wampum, twelve shirts, ten pairs of stockings, twenty hands of powder, twelve bars of lead, two firelocks, fifteen hoes, fifteen hatchets, and three kettles. Two shirts and ten shillings in wampum were given in part payment on the day of the transaction. But Eichbell was not permitted to enter into undisturbed possession of his fine property. Another English-man of Oyster Bay, one Thomas Eevell, in the following month (Octo-ber, 1GG1) appeared on the scene and undertook to buy the identical lands, or a very considerable portion of them. His negotiations were with the same Wappaquewam and certain other Indians, to whom he paid, or engaged to pay, more than Eichbell had bound himself for. Out of his rival claim arose a wordy legal dispute, wherein affidavits were filed by various witnesses, one of whom (tes-tifying in Eichbell's behalf) was Peter Disbrow, of Manussing Island.
