An important village-site on the west bank of" Mosholu brook, near the Van Cortlandt mansion in Van Cortlandt park. The title Keskeskick applied to the range of hills forming part of Kingsbridge, Fordham, and University Heights, probably as far south as Washington bridge. The village-site was close to the Van Cortlandt mansion. It was destroyed by grading the playing field.

20. Nappeckamak (Map VII, A). The modern Yonkers. A principal station of the Reckgawawanc chieftaincy which was probably situated near the outlet of the Neperah river, not far from Getty square, being thus close to the line of the Hudson River trail.

21. Eastchester (Map VII, A). A native

station at the junction of the shore path and the path leading from the site of the town of Westchester. Said to have been a "castle." It probably occupied the high ground on the south side of the old Kingsbridge road, west of the New York, Westchester and Boston Railway tracks, where some traces of native occupancy are visible.

east side of Eastchester creek, near the Split Rock (Map VII, B). It was alongside the Indian path which is the present Split Rock road. Here Ann Hutchinson and her family were massacred in 1643.
