On the east side of this town, bordering the Bronx's river, is situated a tract of land called the Mile Square^ lying principally in a beautiful vale watered by the river and sheltered by picturesque hills. This tract was exempted out of the great manorial patent of 1693, and aj)pears originally to have formed a part of the possessions of the Doughtys of Flushing, as we find John Doughty of that place in 1685 selling sixty-four acres o( land here, in one square mile, to Francis French, Ebenezer Jones and John Wascot.a u 22d May, 1674, John Winter of Westchester sold to Joseph Jeames of Fairfield, Connecticut, a parcel of land containing 120 acres, which is one quarter part of ye tract of land Francis French and Ebenezer Jones bought of Elias Doughty.
