abounds with foxes, rabbits and other wild game, and retains much of its ancient grandeur.

At the fox meadows, Scarsdale, was born on the 21st of June, 1774, that distinguished individual Daniel D. Tompkins, Vice President of the United States. a- He was the seventh son of the Hon. Jonathan G. Tompkins, by his wife Sarah Hyatt, and grandson of Stephen Tompkins, whose ancestors emigrated originally from the north of Kngland, (during the time of the religious persecution in that country.) and landed at Plymouth, in the colony of Massachusetts ;^ from Plymouth they removed to Concord. John Tompkins of that place, had John born there in 1642, and a daughter, Ruth, in 1640. The Tompkins family subsequently emigrated to Fairfield, in Connecticut. ° In 1649, we find John Tompkins proprietor of lands in Fairfield.
