The new proprietor very soon began to receive and accept offers for portions of the estate. In March and September, 1667, he sold to John Archer, of Westchester, "fourscore acres of land and thirty acres of meadow," in the vicinity of the present Kingsbridge, "lying and being betwixt Brothers River and the watering place at the end of the Island of Manhatans." This was the beginning of a new manorial estate—the second of our country in point of antiquity. Doughty also sold, July 6,1668. to William Betts and George Tippett, his son-in-law (for whom Tibbet's Brook is named), about two thousand acres, reaching from the Hudson to the Bronx, with its southern boundary starting just below Kingsbridge and above Archer's lands, and its northern passing through Van Cortlandt Lake along the north side of " Aran der Donck's planting field." About the same time (June 7, 1668), for the value of a horse and £5, Doughty conveyed to Joseph Hadden some three hundred and twenty acres directly north of Van der Donck's planting field, lying in unequal parts on both sides of Tibbet's Brook. In 1670 he sold a tract one mile square tstill called "the Mile Square"), bordering on the Bronx River, to Francis French, Ebenezer Jones, and John Westcott. And finally, on the 29th of November, 1672, all that remained of the Yonkers Land was disposed of in equal thirds to Thomas Delaval, Thomas Lewis, and Frederick Philipse.
