I never saw it called Pikeville Village before. Years ago, I asked the people who did this website about a source and they were quite vague and not forthcoming. They grab info from wherever they can get it. They did it "years ago: and don't have the sources available. They didn't seem to care about inaccurate information. The description is about Peekskill. Continental Village was considered Peekskill back then but that area is now in Putnam County. Peekskill got its name from Jan Peek who had a trading post. I have seen posts on various lists that people who say an ancestor was born in Peekskill and cannot spell it correctly. Is this history written by people who did not live in NY area, so would have no clue how to spell the name? Thinking it must be Pike instead of Peek?? They actually inserted the source and this is the link: _http://www.hudson-river-valley.com/htm/lnk/Link0513.html_ (http://www.hudson-river-valley.com/htm/lnk/Link0513.html) . AND added a disclaimer to blame it on the authors not on them needing to make sure it is accurate ! History And Antiquities The following covers "History and Antiquities", a general collection of interesting facts, traditions, biographical sketches, and anecdotes about Westchester County and its towns. When reading the following, remember to keep in mind that this information has been written about two hundred years ago. Population statistics and events have not been revised to reflect current events and perspective. We think this adds to the historical flavor and interest of the writings, giving a different perspective on much of this information and written in an "older world" writing style. The following write-up is taken, in part, from: "Historical Collections of the State of New York, Published by S. Tuttle, 194 Chatham-Square, 1841 ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Peekskill had many more foundries up to the 20th century, there were iron mines in now Putnam County but I don't recall any in Peekskill. The iron mines in Putnam seemed to furnish iron for the West Point Foundry. Of course none of this gives a clue to iron mines within Westchester County- I would say, find a copy of a real Westchester County History. Is there one on google books ?

Somewhere along the way of researching my wife's "Yerks" family, I came across a list of common Philipsburg Manor Dutch first names, translated to English. For instance… Jacobus = James. Does anybody know where I saw that? I can't seem to find it anymore. Thanks. Phil

Very interesting. Thank you. But I think there must be something closer to the hawthorne circle. I have documents referring to a farm there that was "opposite the old iron mine".
