Beside the sloop advantages for reaching the city and points along the shores of the county, to which allusion has been made, there were also very early ferries between it and the opposite sides of the Hudson and the Sound.

In 1739 a ferry was established between Rye and Oyster Bay,' and as early certainly as 1743 one by periauger was running between Ferry Point, in the town of Westchester, and Powell's Point, near Whitestone, Long Island.

Dobbs Ferry, in the town of Greenburg, was so called from a Swedish family of this name -- early settlers, who kept a ferry from this place to the opposite shore of Rockland County. Again, in 1755, a public ferry between Ann Hook's Xeck, or Rodman's Neck, and Cedar-Tree Brook, in Hampstead Harbor, was in operation, Samuel Rodman and John Wooley being the patentees.' On a map of the road from Federal Hall to New Rochelle, passing over the Harlem River at Kingsbridge, and over the Bronx at Williams' Bridge and through East Chester, there is laid down a side-road in that village, which is described as " road leading to Whitestone Fen:y," which shows undoubtedly that water communication had been established through Hutchinson's River, East Chester Bay and the Sound with the shore at Long Island.
