In 1640 a party of English settlers from New Haven obtained deeds to the soil on Long Island from Farrett, agent of Sir William Alexander, and settled at Southold; and another party from Massachusetts, more daring still, settled at Schouts Bay, almost opposite to Manhattan.  When a force of Dutch troops was sent against them they retired to the east end of the island and settled Southampton.  A more adventuresome proceeding was attempted in 1641 when another party from New Haven took the Dutch in the flank by settling on the Delaware.  Dutch and Swedes united to drive the intruders away.  As if these were not troubles enough, Kieft, in 1642, provoked war with the Indians all along the Hudson.
