On the 2lst of October, 1663, we find the chiefs of Weecquaesqneeck, united with tliose of Sint Siuck and Kitchtawang, in a war with the Dutch. ^' The armistice of November appears to have restored tranquillity. During the summer of 16()2, "Connecticut purchased of the Indians all the lands on the seaboard as far west as the North River."c Thus a second lime was this territory ceded by the sachems of Weecquaesqneck. Upon the confiscation of the property of the Dutch West India Company, 15ih of June, 1665, the New Netherlands passed to his Royal HighnesSj James, Duke of York; and these lands being within tlie province of New York, formed a part of the North Riding of Yorkshire. In consequence, Connecticut ceased to hold any jurisdiction.
