The mill and adjoining property, at an early period, belonged to the late Lancaster Underhill,who lived to the remarkable age of 98. Throughout the trying period of the Revolution, this individual resided on his farm, and appears to have suffered severely both in person and estate. During many a severe winter night he lay concealed beneath the body of an ox cart -- which he had taken the precaution to cover with hay -- and on each returning day blessed his good fortune that his house had escaped the flames. Near the mill is located the Bronxville Railroad depot, distant about four and a half miles south of White Plains, and eight from New York. The agent at this station (for nearly a quarter of a century) is Mr. Lancaster Underhill, the son of the late Lawrence Underbill a younger son of Lancaster Underhill, a former proprietor of most of the adjoining lands. The Dutch Reformed Church at Bronxville was erected in 1840, on land given by the late Rev. Robert Bolton, a former pastor of this parish, then owner of the Pond Field property. The church was incorporated.

Upon the Long Reach, in this town, are situated the farms and residences of John Townsend, Esq., (former sheriff of the county, and senator for the second district in 182 1,) Alexander Pirnie, Mr. Headly, Alexander Masterton, Abijah Morgan, Charles Morgan, and Mr. Pinckney, &c.

The whole of this elevated district commands extensive views of the Sound and surrounding country. In the immediate vicinity stands Marble Hall, the site of which is celebrated in our Revolutionary annals.
