On the east side of this town, bordering the Bronx's river, is situated 

 a tract of land called the Mile Square, lying principally in a beautiful 

 vale, watered by the river and sheltered by picturesque hills. This tract 

 was exempted out of the great manorial patent of 1693, and appears 

 originally to have formed a part of the possessions of the Doughtys of 

 Flushing; as we find John Doughty of that place in 1685 selling sixty- 

 four acres of land here, in one square mile, to Francis French, Ebenezer 

 Jones and John Wascot. 6
