" and Company, and so along that Patent as it runs Northward " and the Patent of Captain John Evans • and Thence to the " place it first Began".

For tlie better understanding the Eastern boundary of this Tract, I beg leave to observe that, the line running Due Soutli from Great Minissink Island to the land Granted to Bridges and Company, terminates in a Remarkable Ridge of Hills extending Northeasterly from Delaware River to Hudson's River, whicli Ridge of Hills is the Western Boundary of the Land Granted to the said John Bridges and Company, and of the Lands formerly Granted to Captain John Evans, the Patent whereof has been Since Vacated and the Lands Reasumed by the Crown. It Clearly appears from the Records of the Boundaries of the Townsliip of Rochester, the Boundaries of the Township of IVIarbletown, and by the Boimdaries of this very Patent of Minissink that at the time those Grants were made, the said Ridge of Hills were understood to be the Western Boundaries of Evan's Patent.
