Cox's wife Sophia and Long were grandchildren of Silas Phillips, the first settler in Pulaski County whose farm was just east of Medaryville. Aaron Archer was Benjamin's son, and thus a Noggle descendant.
Lewis Street historically marked the western edge of Hartford's developed city center, extending north-south between Pearl and Trumbull Streets. It was deeded to the city in 1798, and was little more than an alley until 1841, when it was widened and named Wells Street. It was renamed Lewis Street in 1883, in honor of Lewis Rowell, its principal landowner. The streetscape is divided, with the northern end near Pearl Street now taken over by modern development.

Stewart, owner of the pre-railroad Las Vegas Rancho, deeded of spring-fed downtown Las Vegas land to the Paiutes, creating the Las Vegas Indian Colony.

The map indicates that the parcel that includes the fort was deeded to Jeremiah Warder and Company in right of George Croghan. This map was later redrawn for a plate published by Africa (1883, 342a). At first glance, the scale and proportions seemed to be relatively accurate when compared to modern aerial photographs and topographic maps of the site. Therefore, we wanted to check to see if the mapped location of the fort could mark the spot.
To preserve the views from Fort Tryon Park, Rockefeller had purchased land on the opposite side of the Hudson to keep it from being developed; this later became Palisades Interstate Park. Under Rockefeller's proposal, the park would be deeded to the Palisades Interstate Park Commission, which would also operate Palisades Interstate Park. Rockefeller also planned to run a ferry service across the Hudson River between Fort Tryon and the Palisades, located on the river's western bank.

Moreover, the city had failed to propose a law that would have deeded the parkland to the Palisades Interstate Park Commission. In 1925, Hylan told one of Rockefeller's advisors that the city would consider another proposal to give the land to the city for use as a park.
