It was afterwards known as the Yonkers Precinct (except the parts included in the Manor of Phillipsburgh after the erection of the I latter, in 1693). By the act of June 19, 1703, the towns, manors, etc., were authorized to choose supervisors, and each inhabitant of any precinct, being a freeholder, was allowed " to join his vote with the next adjacent town." The freeholders of the Yonkers probably voted for a supervisor with the freeholders of East Chester. They chose their own local officers for the precinct, of whom the following " Collectors for the Yonkers " are known : William Jones, 1708- 1(1; John Barrett, 1713-14; John Heading [Hadden], 1715-16; Mr. George Tippett, 1717; Mr. Joseph Ta^-lor, 1718; Matthias Valentine, 1719; Joseph Hadley, 1720; Moses Taylor, 1721-23; William Jones',y724 ; Moses Taylor, 1725 ; Thomas Sherwood, 1726; Moses Taylor, 1727; Thomas Rich, 1728; Edward Smith, 1729-30; Charles Vincent, 1731-32; i J.icob Ryder, 1733-34 ; Josei)h Taylor, 1736.

By the act of November 1 , 1 722, " to increase the number of supervisors for Westchester County," the inhabitants of each precinct havingnot lessthan twenty inhabitants were allowed to choose their own supervisor. The Yonkers was no doubt represented in the board by its own member thereafter ; but by reason of the loss of the records of the precinct and of the board before 1772 their names are not known. On the first Tuesday in April, 1756, the freeholders and inhabitants of the Yonkers and Mile Square'^ held a public town-meeting at the house of Edward Stevenson, in the Yonkers, and chose James Corton (Coerten ?) supervisor and pounder : Benjamin Fowler, town clerk; Thomas Sherwood, constable and collector; David Oakley and William Warner, assessors; Edward Weeks, Wm.
