the Dutch Church, Sleepy Hollow^ Thomas, their son, was born on the manor, A. D. 1712.

20th September, 1729, occurs a record in the church books at Sleepy Hollow, of a marriage between William Dobs, born in Philadelphia, and Lea van Waert, a native of the same place. They were perhaps Swedes, originally from the Delaware. Jeremiah Dobs, fora.er proprietor of the ferry, left issue by Jane le Vines, besides two daughters, two sons, Jeremiah and Peter. Several sons of the latter are still living in Greenburgh.

The Indian name of this place, as already shown was, Weecqu£es-guck, literally ^^ the place of the hark kettle P The aboriginal settlement appears to have been located at the mouth of the Weghqueghe or Wicker's creek, (William Portuguese creek.) This beantiful stream arises from two distinct springs, situated on the lands of E. W. Wald grove and Frederick B. Wilsie, both of which, running nearly west, unite soon after crossing the Albany post road ; here, commingled, they flow through a rocky glen enclosed between high wooded banks. Passing under the arch of the Croton aqueduct, the waters again appear rushing over their stony bed until their further progress is checked by the mill dam. Here a pipe of nine hundred feet in length conveys the water lo the neighboring mill, affording a fall of thirty feet to an overshot wheel.

In the vicinity of the upper dock, the ravine opens and displays a splendid view of the Hudson River. The road, passing through the gap of the Greenburgh hills west of the Saw Mill Valley, follows the course of the ancient Indian path, which formerly led to the village of the ^^ Bark Kettle,^^ at the mouth of the Weghqueghe, or Wysquaqua Creek.
