 Heathcote Map
Caleb Heathcote (1666-1721) was one of the largest landowners in pre-Revolutionary Westchester.
The 1774 journal of partition and the resulting Heathcote Map were created by the Commission established to ensure the fair division of the lands in present day Mamaroneck, Scarsdale and Harrison, which were granted to Caleb Heathcote by King William III in 1701 and which remained unsold by his descendants.
Because the original 1774 Heathcote Map was fading, a true and exact copy was drawn, certified and filed by the Register of Deeds in 1907; it is the latter version that is depicted here.

 Fenimore Cooper as Country Gentleman
The Heathcote Hill of Cooper's day, with its neat fences and gates, its stately row of locusts, and its fruit trees and gardens, was a charming place, fully reflecting the prosperity of its owner.
Looking on from Heathcote Hill less than four miles away, the conservative De Lanceys understandably took a rather dim view of the financial manipulations taking place at Angevine, particularly as they affected the Hickories, a piece of land that had been in the Heathcote-De Lancey family since the early years of the eighteenth century.
William Heathcote De Lancey acted as trustee until June 23, 1850, when he petitioned the New York Supreme Court to be allowed to resign the trusteeship in favor of Cooper's son, Paul Fenimore Cooper.

In those pre-Revolutionary times, there was no separate “Protestant Episcopal Church in the United States of America,” but the Anglican worship of the eighteenth century, anchored in the liturgies of the 1662 Book of Common Prayer, would have been readily recognizable by the Episcopalians of today with our 1979 American prayer books.
As Muirson set about his mission to introduce the traditions of the Church of England to “the benighted government of Connecticut,” he was accompanied on his excursions to Greenwich and Stamford by Colonel Caleb Heathcote, an Anglican layman (and lord of the manor of Scarsdale).
Heathcote’s presence – mounted on horseback and bristling with sidearms – maintained a standard of decorum during worship, effectively discouraging any local rowdies who might otherwise have been inclined to disruptive behavior at divine service.
