" These three purchases completed," says Baird, " the territory of Rye 

 on the east side of Blind brook. Indeed, they took in also a part of the 

 town of Greenwich, the tract of land between the present State line and 

 Byram river; and we shall see that the claims of Rye to this tract, found- 

 ed upon the Indian purchase just related, gave rise to not a little trouble 

 in the subsequent relations of the two towns."* 



Another purchase was made on the 2d day of June, 1662, by Peter 

 Disbrow, John Coe, Thomas Studwell and John Budd, for a tract of land 

 above Westchester Path, and west of Blind Brook, or directly north of 

 Budd's Neck. This was the territory of the present town of Harrison.
