Old Saybrook was divided into three parts. The northern part was called
Pattaconke (also spelled Pataconke and Pattaquonck). "The committee for
highway improvements were to lay out a good and sufficient highway
to the 'Great River' [Connecticut] at the northward side of ye land formerly
owned by Benjamin Graves in Pattaconke", action taken at Saybrook, 5 Jan. 1724/5. |

Old Saybrook is on the south shore of Connecticut, on Long Island Sound,
at the mouth of the Connecticut River. Pattaconke was about 7 miles north of the
mouth of the Connecticut River when a part of Saybrook. It is now the town of
Chester CT. |
