Ou Clasoii's Point are the old D.miel Ludlow and Robert Henry Ludlow places. The former, after passing through many hands, is now the property of Mr. Leland, ofNew York, and the westerly portion of this neck is in the possession of the estate of Robert Henry Ludlow, Esq. Xear by, after crossing Pugsley's causeway, we come to Wilmont, the former residence of the late William Wats >n. Esq, a well-known dealer in Irish linens and for many years a respected citizen of the town. His son, .Mr. R. C. Watson, represented the township for one term in the Board of Supervisors. Near Wihnont, on the east side of the Bronx, is situated the De Lancey estate, or so much of it as is within the township of Westchester. The de Lancey family are descended from Etienne de Lancey, a French Huguenot who came to this country after the revocation of the Edict of Nantes. The mill and the other property adjoiniug before the Revolution was in the possession of Peter de Lancey. His son John was the father of Mrs. Governor Yates, whose daughter, Mrs. Samuel Neil, now owns and occupies a portion of the premises. James, the other son, was the famous commander of the Westchester Light-Horse, the British partisan chief already mentioned in our Revolutionary chapter. It ii a strange fact that though both sons were Loyalists (luring the Revolution, James' propertv was forfeited by the act of attainder, while John's was not.'

The other part of the de Lancey estate is owned by the heirs of Philip Lydig.- Just north of the mills on the banks of the Bronx is Bronxdale, the site of the bleaching mills of the Bolton family, and immediately north of the Bleach is the large estate of Peter L irillard, extending both sides of the river with a h I idsome stone mansion, garden, hot-houses and graperies.
