"Yes I know Ramapo is NOW Rockland but only since late 1700s when it split from Orange. the people in Everton book where there then and earlier karin" Not only that, but what does Everton mean by "Ramapo"? There's a Ramapo River and the Ramapo Mountains - they may not be talking about the town. The Ramapo patent was mostly in New Jersey, and overlapped the eventual state border. Three different land grants - Kakiat, Wawayanda, and Cheesecocks - conflicted in the Town of Ramapo. Regina Haring, Nanuet, NY
