gines, lies immediately south-east of the village, upon the easterly side of which is situated the Seaman place. It obtained its present name from Giles Seaman, late proprietor, who married Lydia Mott, a lineal descendent of John Richbell, the patentee. This dwelling house and old Mott farm, afterwards owned by Mr. Isaac Hall, is now held by Mrs. Rushmore. The former, a fine wooden structure, occupies a commanding position overlooking the Bay, and opposite the shores of Budd's Neck. Indeed from this spot, the best view is obtained of the village.

Upon the extremity of a point there is a small cemetery, containing several memorials of members of the Seaman, Bain, Disbrow and Yanderbilt families. From the old Boston post-road, a picturesque lane leads to the south-west extremity of de Lancey's Neck, sometimes called Long Beach Point. Extensive woods ornament the shores of the Neck, and add greatly to the beauty of the scenery. The proprietors of this Neck were the Right Rev. William Heathcote de Lancey, and his nephew, Thomas James de Lancey, Esq.

Next in order, on the west of de Lancey's Neck, we have the Prickly Pear Creek, Eagle Hammock, Barker's Hammock and Munro's Gut, which constitutes the division line between it and the Great or Middle Neck, called Munro's Neck. Munro's Neck formerly belonged to the Palmer family. Samuel Palmer, having obtained a confirmation for the same, under the hand of the Indian sachem Ann Hook, in the year 1 700-1. From the heirs of Samuel Palmer it passed by purcnase to the late Peter Jay Monro, in 1798. From the Monro's it was purchased by Edward K. Collins, Esq., in 1845, who called it Larchmont, and subsequently sold it to Mr. Flint, who laid out upon it the present suburban village of Larchmont.
