Remaining but a short time at Boston, they came to Connecticut and securely planted the New Haven colony in the spring of 1638. The land had been purchased from the Indians in the preceding autumn. So soon as they were comfortably established they desired to enlarge their borders, and on the 1st of July, 1640, Nathan Turner, on behalf of the people of New Haven, purchased of the Indians the tract known as Rippowams, extending westward along the Sound and sixteen miles inland. It included a portion of Westchester County.

A settlement was soon made at Stamford and another at Greenwich. On November 14, 1654, Thomas Pell, of Fairfield, Conn., purchased of the Indians the lauds lying immediately east of those Occupied by the Dutch, and which were afterward included in Pelham manor. The Dutch were greatly disturbed thereby. Tliirt}' years later the Indians conveyed a portion of these lands to the iniiabitants of Westchester. In 1660, 1661 and 1662, John Budd, Peter Disbrow, John Coe and Thomas Stedwell made purchases from the Indians of lands along the Sound, west of Greenwich, included in the southeastern portion of Westchester County. In 1661, John Richbell, of the island of Barbadoes, West Indies, purchased of the Indians a tract lying between the lands purchased by Pell and those just mentioned, and extending a long distance inland. His title to this was confirmed by lettera patent issued by Governor Lovelace in 1668. In 1696 the widow of John Richbell conveyed these lands to Colonel Caleb Heathcote, who also made additional purchases of the Indians. All these were confirmed by a royal patent in 1701, creating the lordship and manor of Scarsdale, which included the present towns of Mamaroneck and Scarsdale and portions of White Plains, North Castle and New Castle.
