| History: | "Mull's Plaat was a small, narrow island located close to the northwest side of Lower Schodack Island, probably not far from the site of the Mahican Indian village of 1730. It is now connected with Lower Schodack Island. It is mentioned in the 1816 deed to Anthony Ten Eyck, whereby he acquired, for $8,000, a number of parcels from his family including half of the island ""opposite to Coenrad Ten Eyck's, commonly called Moll Plaat."" The island had previously been owned by Abraham Mull (Ten Eyck 1816). In 1841 Jacobus Mull sold his half of the island to Barent Mull. In 1853 Barent Mull of Coeymans, John J. Mull of Bethlehem, and their wives sold about 1 acre of the island to James J. Mull of Coeymans (Mull 1853). Finally, in 1854 Barent Mull sold his remaining half interest of about 5 acres, located south of the 1-acre parcel, for $250 to John Mull and Barent T. Mull (Mull 1854). This island must have been valuable as farmland despite its small size. The age of the island is uncertain. It appears at the northwest end of Moesmans Island on a map drawn about 1756 (Huey 1992-1993: 108), and there is the possibility it is the site of part of the Mahican village.
