In 1668 this thoroughfare again formed a boundary of property which Elias Doughty, the heir of Van der Donck's land-rights, sold to the farmers Tippett and Betts. This tract ran "west to Hudson's river and east to Bronck's River, with all the upland from Bronck's River south to Westchester Path." INDIAN PATHS The path had first necessarily to ascend the steep Keskeskick hillside, which it accomplished (see Map VI) by proceeding south by way of Albany crescent to Bailey avenue, where it divided into its two parts, the Shore path, or Sachkerah, ascending the hill as the Boston post-road, now called Boston avenue, up to Sedgwick avenue.

The lower path, which led direct to Westchester and the native stations in the southeastern part of the Bronx, took a southerly route by way of Bailey avenue, around the bend of Spuyten Duyvil creek, toward the line of the old Kingsbridge road, which led to the village of Fordham, turning east at the Farmers' bridge opposite Muscoota or 225th street, Manhattan.
