The brook now known as Roosevelts (24), a name dating back to the acquisition of property in that vicinity by that family early in the nineteenth century, may have been the Maninketsuck which Tooker says was a "strong flowing brook" in Pelham. This place is favorably situated, sheltered and provided with good dririking water, and its further exploration by the Museum of the American Indian, Heye Foundation, may, it is hoped, bring to light further evidences of the considerable native popu- lation which by all surface indications would seem to have made it their home.

It would appear that a path must have extended beyond this point through the eastern part of New Rochelle to the important station at Davenports neck. Such a line of path or cartway is shown on a map of New Rochelle as early as the year 1710, extending from the vicinity of Pelham Manor along the shore-line and terminating near the head of the Titus Mill-pond, at the junction of Davenports neck with the mainland.
