The Drake's were also extensive proprietors in the town, the old estate called "Nonsuch," being bounded on the west by the Aquehung, or Bronx, on the north by the Yonkers road, leading to Swayne's Mill; on the east by the White Plains Turnpike, and on the south by the Hunt's Bridge road. The property is now owned by various individuals. It is somewhat curious that the only portion of the original estate lately vested in the Drake family was the site once occupied by the barns, and out-buildings of the late Moses Drake. This individual was the son of Benjamin Drake; third in descent from Samuel Drake, Esq., of Fairfield, one of the first of the ten proprietors of Eastchester, in 1664.

On the 9th September, 1650, Samuel Drake received a grant of land from the freeholders of Fairfield. Upon the 8th of Feb., 1677, Samuel Drake of Eastchester sold unto his son Samuel Drake, three separate parcels of land lying in Fairfield.''
