Spicer's and Brocketfs Necks are situated at the south-west extremity of Throckmorton's neck proper, and constitute what was formerly known as the " Grove Farm." This property, we have seen, was patented by Governor Nicolis to Thomas Hunt in 1667, who bequeathed it in 1694 to his grandson Josiah Hunt. At Josiah's death, A.D. 1729, it went to his son Thomas Hunt upon the demise of the latter, in 1756 ; William L. Ferris and grand-children, are the present owners. The old grange, erected in 16S7, is prettily located at the entrance of Spicer's Neck, on the margin of the Westchester Creek and the Oakland nurseries formerly the property of William Linngston Ferris. Mr. Ferris has sold land, but holds the nurseries, which are situated a litde north of the house. They are very extensive, and cc.itain every variety of fruit and ornamental trees. We believe this is one of the largest establishments of the kind in Westchester County. There was formerly a ferry between old " Ferry Point'' the termination of Brockett's Neck, and the opposite shore of -'Poweirs Point',' or White Stone, Long Island. The passage was performed in a peri-auger, during the provincial period of our history.

The Westchester Creek which is here nearly three quarters of a mile across, abounds with ever}- kind and description of shell and salt water fish. Among the latter, may be enumerated, bass, weak fish, black fish, drum, eels, flounders, spice, tomicods, perch, porgies, horse mackerel, herrings, bequeals, garnet, &c. One of the most popular fishermen m this neighborhood is Natey Bergen, of Union Port, who has every supply oniiaad; beside., being well acquainted with the best fishing ground both on the Creek and Sound.
