THE TOWN OF MAMARONECK. 503 



the framers of the late constitution of this State. By his wife Margaret 

 White, Mr. Munro left two sons, Henry and John, besides several daugh- 

 ters. Mott's Neck adjoins Munro's on the west, upon which, is situated 

 the farm and residence of the late William Scott, Esq. This delightful 

 spot commands pleasing views of the neighboring neck and Sound 

 scenery. Mr. Scott was the son of James Scott, whose father, Walter 

 Scott, a took an active part in the political drama of 1745, in favor of 

 Prince Charles ; father and son subsequently emigrated to this country, 

 and during the war of the Revolution, distinguished themselves as brave 

 and zealous patriots. 



Upon the Flandreau hammocks on the next neck westwardly, is placed 

 the Premium Mill, the property of the late William P. Kellogg, Esq. In 

 this vicinity are the estates of James I. Roosevelt, Esq., (late member 

 of Congress,) now belonging to George E. Vandenburgh, and Mrs. Susan 

 Daubeny ; the latter adjoins the Palmer burying-ground on the west, & 

 and is now owned by Mr. Meyer. 



We have previously shown that the town is well watered by numerous 

 streams, some of which have one or more mills standing on them. 



The growth of wood is of the usual various sorts. On the highlands, 

 oak, hickory, walnut and chestnut are the chief. The lower grounds, 

 are covered generally with maple, birch and elm, &c. 



The principal minerals of the town, are quartz, drusy, calcedony, agate, 

 and jasper. Serpentine of almost every variety, and cromate of iron; 

 veins of the dolomitic marble, and gneiss also occur in various localities. 



a The first Walter of this family was the famous " Auld Wat." the renowned free-booter of 

 the Scottish border. 

 b Near the Palmer burying-ground stood the old Friends meeting house.
