Dutch name for several ponds or small lakes, lying in the town of Rosendale, Ulster County. Twenty or thirty years ngo, there were some very Il- literate people living on the horders of these little lakes or ponds, or near them, oq ac count of the clleapue.ss of the land, and, sometimes, because they wished to live a re- tired life.
