Y.), printed in London by Fadden in 1779, we find a main highway running from Morrisania via de Lancey's Mills (West Farms) to the village of Westchester, but by an entry on the 13th day of the Ninth Month, 1722, in the county road-book, on file in the office of the county clerk, it appears that on June 8th of that year Commissioners Lewis Morris, Jr., John Stephenson, Joseph Drake and John Hoit made return that they had laid out a public road in the town of Westchester, --

WESTCHESTER.

" From tlie bridge tlial lies iiciiis- tlio broolv tluit runs In lwcfu L'nJerhill Biinis's land and runs westerly as the way lias usually been run, four rods wide between said Barns's land, incluiling the watering place lying by y« side of I'nderbill Barns's home lot, according to the bounds now sett up and marked, till it meets w"" a public road laid out by the Coniutissioncrs through the sheep pasture."

The road through the sheep pasture was probably the one which was discontinued in 1727. It began at the " Northerly corner of the (Quaker meeting-house," and after passing through "ye common land" and skirting the proi)erties of Petor Ferris, the Widow Colyer and John Maphis, terminated at " the town landing by the Mill." In 1723 a road was run "from the corner of John Huestis' garden" to the country road " by the house that John Packer lives in." In 1726 a road was built to " Jethamar Polton's saw-mill upon iJrunck's River ; " and on July 20, 1727, the highway '■ from the road y' goes to Brunx's River, where Joseph Hallstead now lives, from the causeway by Col. Heathcote's Mill, between the land then of Israel Honeywell, Senr., since deceased, and the land of Thomas Hadden to the said Ferris' land," was ordered to be closed.
