Ambrose Hine acquired land at what is now 118 Cook Road in Prospect, c.1755-1757. The property record card for the Ambrose Hind House lists a date of 1760. The house does not appear in land records until 1794. Ambrose Hine (born 1726) served in the Revolutionary War as captain of the 5th battalion in James Wadsworth’s Brigade, which was with Washington at the Battle of Long Island on August 27, 1776. Highland Greens Golf Course in Prospect is located on land that Capt. Hine once farmed and he built many of the stone walls that survive on the property.
