De Lancey Neck, commonly called the Great or Middle Neck, lies immediately southwest of the village, upon the east side of which is situated Seaman's Point or Neck, the ancient Wanmainnck of the aborigines. This point obtained its present name from Giles Seaman, former proprietor, who married Lydia Mott, a lineal descendant of John Richbell, the patentee. The dwelling house and old Mott flirm are now owned by Mr. Isaac Hall. The former, a fine wooden structure, occupies a commanding position, overlooking the Bay and opposite shores of Bndd's Neck. Indeed, from this spot, the best view is obtained of the village.

Upon the extremity of the Point there is a small cemetery, containing several memorials to members of the Bain, Disbrow, and Vanderbilt families. From the old Boston post-road a picturesque lane leads to the northwest extremity of De Lancey Neck, sometimes called Long Beach Point. Extensive woods ornament the shores of the Neck, and add greatly to the beauty of the scenery. The present proprietors of the Great Neck are the Right Rev. William Heathcote de Lancey, and his nephew, Thomas James de Lancey, Esq. The former individual holds some four or five hundred acres on the east side, at present leased to Mr. William Doby.

Next in order, we have the Prickly Pear Creek, Eagle Hammock, Barker's Hammock, and Munro's Gut, which constitutes the division line between the Great Neck proper and the Western Neck, now 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 1700-L From the heirs of Samuel Palmer it passed by purchase to the late Peter Jay Munro in 1798. From the Munros it was purchased by the present proprietor, Edward K.
