'' Stretching so far as the hay path from Bedford aforesaid to the New Lotts of Flackbush aforesaid," in deed from Jacobus Vandewater to Paulus Richards, of April 21st, 1694 (lib. 2, p. 1, of con., register's office King's county). The name of " hay path" was probably derived, from the farmers using this road in carting their salt hay from the meadows they owned bordering on the Jamaica bay, in the bounds of the present town of New Lotts, or at Sellers neck, in the bounds of Jamaica, which neck is located between the third and fourth creeks.
