The acquisition of land conveyed a tract misspelled as above, but ind eating "land by the great water," and probably applied to whatever native settlement existed in the vicinity, such as the planting-grounds at the Indian pond (106). (See Munsell, Hist. Kings Co., p. 18.)

106. The Indian pond (Map VIII, C). A pond

of fresh water, situated at the locality now known as Marlboro, around which the natives had a cultivated tract. The pond has long retained its name, appearing on modern maps.

site of a nat ve station, perhaps the home of Chippahig, who had sold lands which on their eastern bounds touched the western line of Gravesend at the Indian pond.

It indicates the probability of a native settlement at its junction with the ancient pathway.
