Mosquito Cove Proprietors Book - Robert R. Coles
One of these, dated 1678 January 16, is a true copy of a document sent
to Governor Andros. It states, in essence, that the Indians felt they had
been wronged in the survey of the lands made by a Mr. Rider to determine
the property lines described in the Andros Patent. And it tells further
that Joseph Carpenter invited several of the Matinecock chiefs to his
home, where he showed them the survey and read the description of the
boundaries as given in the patent, after which they were satisfied that
they had been mistaken. This document was signed with the marks of
Arumpas, Suskaneman and Werough, of the Matinecock Chieftaincy, and the
signatures of Joseph Carpenter, Thomas Townsend, Job Wright, and
Isack Douty were appended, as witnesses. Another is a true copy of a
deed, dated 1681 January 14. It confirms the sale of land at Littleworth
(now part of Sea Cliff) to Richard Kirby, Jacob Brookin, George Downing,
and Robert Godfree, and is signed by the Musquito Cove Proprietors. That
land had been included in Joseph Carpenters original purchase from the
Indians, but they resold it to the men above mentioned, and when the
rightful owners learned of the sale they demanded payment from the
purchasers.
