[Frederic Shonnard & W.W. Spooner (1900)] 224 HISTORY OF WESTCHESTER COUNTY Chester, which we have already described, secured by Caleb Heath-cote and others from Lieutenant-Governor Nanfan in 1701, were among the foundations upon which such portions of the county north of the White Plains and Harrison tracts as were not included in the Eye and Bedford Patents and the Philipseburgh and Cortlandt Manor grants were settled. The West Patent, known as " Wampus's Land Deed," or the "North Castle Indian Deed," based upon a purchase from the Indians made by Heathcote in 1G9C>. but not patented until Febru-ary 14, 1702, was bounded on the east by the Byram River and the Bedford line, on the north by the Croton River, and at the west took in all the wedge-shaped land between Philipseburgh and Cortlandt Manors, forming an acute angle on the Hudson at the Croton's mouth. Its northern boundary, however, was subsequently removed from the Croton to the southern line of Cortlandt Manor, in order to conform to the Cortlandt Manor grant. Out of the West Patent was erected much of the Town of North Castle.
