At the extreme north of Glen Cove, Long Island, its water frontage facing the Connecticut shore, is a large tract of land still called Dosoris, as named by the Rev. Benjamin Woolsey when he received it with his wife, Abigail Taylor, as her portion; Dosoris, from "Dos moris," [sic - s/b Dos uxoris] meaning "wife's dowery." This name, given as long ago as 1736, has never been changed nor merged into Glen Cove, of which village it now forms a part.
