Excerpt from Hamilton College: Historical Discourse The Property Line was established by a treaty between the State of New York and the Oneida Indians, by which the latter ceded to the former all their lands lying north and east of that line. It extended from the head waters of the Unadilla river to Wood creek, its course being north 27 Degrees east, and formed the western boundary of Coxe's patent. A person stand ing on College Hill in a clear day, can easily trace this famous boundary southward and eastward from the corner of Kirkland's patent, opposite the North College, striking a poplar tree in Professor; North's garden, crossing the road obliquely above the school house at theibot, of the hill, passing through Noel Foot's saw mill and dwelling house, following the road lead ing past the residence of Eurotas Hart, and thence stretching away south of Paris Hill to its termination in the town of Bridgewater. - Lecture by Hon. 0.
