Thus in 1733 all of Westchester County north of the Croton River, and between that stream and the Connecticut line, having an aggre-gate area of over seventy-five thousand acres, was appraised for the paltry sum of $48,000. This territory now includes the Towns of Cortlandt, Yorktown, Sinners, North Salem, Lewisboro, and a portion of Pouudridge, whose combined taxable value amounts to not a few millions. In 1753 the manor lands south of the Croton River were divided. The heirs-at-law, entering into enjoyment of their individual proper-ties as partitioned to them, gradually leased the lands to settlers or sold them in fee.
