Rockvale Estate (Patrick Kinney, J.P., proprietor), Hyde. This property comprises about 7,000 acres, a portion of which, on the undulating ridges and valleys, consists of good arable land, where root crops give abundant returns. The greater part of the estate, however, is used as a grazing run, extending to the summit of the Rock and Pillar Range; and a large flock of crossbred sheep is depastured. The homestead, where Mr. Kinney resides, stands on the lower portion of the property, near the main road.
