Bowman, 1983, 1987. Out of Print! Wine colored hardback with gilt printing, 5-3/4 x 8-3/4, 228 pages, several maps, a listing of the original landowners by patents, which constitutes Part 1 of the book, followed by Part 2, Landholders 1764-1802; place index; name index to Part 1 (Part 2 done in alphabetical order by surname); an appendix showing the Formation and Population of Northeastern New York Towns Prior to 1803; another appendix on "Incompleteness in Deed Filing in Northeastern New York Prior to 1803. This book is in very good unmarked condition with no loose or dogeared pages, highlighting, underlining, notations, etc. The spine may be very slightly cocked & there is what may be a 1/4" errant pencil mark on the front cover. There are no other faults that I can see, and postage will be paid to compensate for these. Per the publisher" "This work forms a directory of all participants in all land sales and mortgage agreements in northeastern New York between 1739 and 1802. The area covered includes all land within the present-day counties of Clinton, Essex, Franklin, Warren and Washington. The first part identifies original grantees, persons awarded land in the area between 1739-1775, and provided is the date of award, name of grant, present town of grant's location, acreage, and grantee's name. The second part, and by far the largest, identifies about 9,000 landholders - grantees, grantors, mortgagees, and mortgagors - whose land records were filed between 1772 and 1802 in the deed and mortgage books of Washington, Clinton, or Essex Counties. In the various entries will be found the names of all persons engaged in land transactions, the date of the transaction, the place of residence of each of the principals, and the volume and page of the original source book. An appendix furnishes the dates of organization of all the towns formed in northeastern New York prior to 1803 and the population of these towns as of 1790 and 1800, and it lists by counties the numbers of deeds and mortgages filed in this region between 1772 and 1802."
