THE TOWN OF CORTLANDT. 93 



limits aforesaid, together with, &c. And whereas I, the said Thomas Dongan, 

 in and by a certain deed under my hand and seal, bearing date 12th day of Oc- 

 tober, did grant and sell over unto John Knights, of the city of New York, 

 all my right and title in the same, &c. 



I do, by these presents, ratify and confirm the same to John Knights, this 20th 

 day of March, 1686. 



Upon the 20th of April, 1687, we find a conveyance from John 

 Knight, gent., to his Excellency, Governor Dongan, of the same terri- 

 tory, called Kitchtawong. a 



It will be seen hereafter that the royal patent of the manor of Cort- 

 landt recites " sundry grants," made by Governor Dongan to the pa- 

 tentee. One of which was doubtless the above conveyance. Col. 

 Stephanus Van Cortlandt subsequently received a confirmation for the 

 same, from the Indians, bearing date August the 8th, 1699.
