"It is pretty difficult at this late day to describe exactly by meets and bounds just what amount of territory was comprised in the term 'Minisink.' In general terms, it was a portion of our country extending from the Delaware Water Gap, on either side of the Delaware River in a northerly direction for about forty or fifty miles to Cochecton, covering a considerable land in the Townships of Montague, Sandyston and Walpack, Sussex County, NJ, -- what is now known as the Town of Deerpark, in Orange County, and taking in a part of Sullivan County, and which last mentioned strip comprises part of the Towns of Lumberland, Forestburgh and Mamakating -- and also part of the Counties of Pike, [Wayne,] and Monroe Pennsylvania which bordered on the Delaware River. ~
