To quote again from Bolton, it is said that three hundred acres upon which stood the old manorial residence were, through the liberality of Mrs. Steenwyck (who survived her husband), exempted from the bequest to the Dutch Church, and continued in the possession of the Archers. At all events, members of the family continued to reside upon their ancestral lands, and in the eighteenth century Benjamin Archer, a direct descendant of the first John, owned in fee a considerable section of the old manor. The progeny of John Archer in Westchester County at the present time are numerous. Although the settlers in Fordham Manor were brought under the jurisdiction of Manhattan Island, its lands owed their development mainly to the activity of men belonging to the ancient Town of Westchester; and it is with the history of Westchester town that this old manorial patent will always be associated. Indeed, the limits of the Town (township) of Westchester as originally created by the legislature of the State of New York embraced all the territory of Fordham and also of Morrisania Manor. Out of Westchester township, as thus first established, was subsequently (1846) new Township of West Farms, which included both Fordthe carved ham and Morrisania .Manors; and West Farms was in turn subdivided, the lower section of it being erected (IS.").")) into another township, called Morrisania, whose bounds coincided generally with tlK.se of the historic Morrisania Manor, having for their northern limit a line beginning on the Harlem River near the High Bridge; and finally, in 1872, the Township of Kingsbridge was organized, consisting of all the former Township of Youkers lying south of the southerly line of the City of Yonkers. This township included the whole of the original Manor of Fordham. The three names-- Fordham, West Farms, and Morrisania -- are all of seventeenth century origin; ami the three localities, as individual parts of the original Township of Westchester, came into existence within the same general period of time.
