The History of the Several Towns, Manors, and Patents of the County of Westchester (1881 revised edition, Vol. I)
This individual eventually claimed the whole territory north of Westchester path, lying above the great neck, so that when the surveyor general, on the 18th of November, 17 14, commenced the survey of the great neck, he was stopped by Philipse, when he came above Westchester path. The surveyor however continued the original line until he came to Bronx's river, here again he was opposed by Philipse, who forbade and warned him at his peril to proceed any further, as he claimed all the land beyond Bronx's river by a different title. The twenty mile line north of the great neck, would have carried the Richbell patent nearly to the Croton river. The whole matter ultimately came before the Court of Chancery, on the 2d of May, 1727.0
a Chancery Uec. Albany.
