Description

This is an early manuscript copy of an agreement between the Town of East Hampton and the Sachem of the Montaukett Indians was signed by Lion Gardiner [spelled Lyon here], Jeremiah Conkling (Gardiner's son-in-law), Wyandanch, and three other Montaukett people. The Montaukett signers were Sasugatarros, Magopirus, and Poguaton. Recorder Benjamin Price noted "The above written is a true copie taken out of the Publick Records of her Majestie's Colonie of Connecticutt in Book number A, Folio 13." The Colony of Connecticut still had jurisdiction over East Hampton, which did not become part of New York until 1664. The agreement focuses on land use, reflecting conflict over English Colonists' roaming cattle disrupting native life and native farming. In this deed or agreement, the East Hampton Colonists agree to build a fence in an area that runs from "the South Beach near Georgica to the Harbour on the North Side," and to contain their cattle for the corn growing season. Similarly, Montauketts agree not to burn swamps and marshes for a certain period of the season. The Montaukett people will appoint one of their people to live near Georgica and farm the area, subject to the approval of the East Hampton Townsmen and the Montaukett Sachem. The Montauketts agree to give East Hampton the right of first refusal on any sale of the Montauk Peninsula, where the Colonists agreed no hogs would be "kept...at any time." Lion Gardiner and his heirs received the right to bring over from Gardiner's Island up to 10 cattle for use of common acreage for the Winter. The East Hampton settlers gain the right mow hay in an area known as "Noantoquitt." The Montauketts agreed to show the settlers the locations of their underground cellars or "barns."
