      Division of Lands

      First Flat.

      This flat or plain consiting of about 80 acres of lowlands is described in Jacques Cornelise Van Slyk's patent, granted in 1684, as "situated between two creeks, one called Stone Creek to the eastward, the other 'Platte creek' to the westward, come to him in right of his mother who was a mOhawk woman." *
      It has remained in the family to this day, passing from father to son by inheritance.
      The easterly part of this flat called "Hazlenut flat" was owned by Manasseh Sixberry, in 1709; he then made his will, leaving his property to his four children.
