HISTORY OF THE COUNTY OF WESTCHESTER.

The above Indian conveyances clearly embraced a large proportion (perhaps the whole) of Lewisboro. Some of these lands must have subsequently reverted to the Indians ; for in 1699 the Kitchawan tribe again released the same territory to Stephannus Van Cortland. This individual had previously obtained a charter from the crown, erecting the whole of his possession into the lordship and Manor of Cortland ; by which means the northern part of this town came to be included in that Manor.

On the 8th of July, 1701, we find Catoonah, Indian Sagamore, confirming to the inhabitants of Stamford "all those lands which extend westward as far as the west bounds of Bedford purchase and marked trees, and by the east bounds of the same, bounded north by the south side of Bedford purchase, and by the stone hills upon a straight line eastward unto the itpper end of the Long Pond; and, further, on an east line, until it meets with a line drawn north from the upper end of Five Mile River, which is the east line of our several purchases."0
