Pete PART 2 LANDHOLDERS, 1764-1802 The postings in this section reflect all the transactions of all the grantees, grantors, mortgagees, and mortgagors whose land records were filed, 1772 through 1802, in the deed and mortgage books of the northeastern counties of Washington, Clinton, and Essex. Franklin and Warren, as shown on the map facing the title page, today lie in the region of concern. However, since both were formed after 1802, their names are not mentioned in this report. Frequently in the eighteenth century many years elapsed between the date of a land contract’s signing and the date of its filing. Therefore, it is not incongruous to note in Part 2 that many of the documents bear dates within the time span 1764 through 1771 despite -the fact that none of these records was filed until after 12 March 1772, the formation date of Washington County. Concerning the numbered entries in this section the left-margin dates are those of contract signings. Gee, ~, mee, and mor symbolize grantee, ~ mortgagee, and mortgagor respectively. These postings define the contract roles of the persons whose names immediately follow them. Postings immediately succeeding the columnized names are the residence places of these persons • The underlined expressions indicate land locations. Key entries, those which contain the land locations and which identify all the transaction participants by name or number, are pre-signalled through the underlining of their left—margin entry numbers • These specialized entries through end—codings (example, D:12) specify the volume and page of the source book. Car-headed entries are drawn from deed books; mor-headed from mortgage books. The counties where the books are filed are those noted in the underlined land—location postings. The Charlotte and Albany County lands of reference are filed in Washington County. Two or more related entries must be reviewed before any land transaction becomes clear. Once the reader has selected an entry, regardless its nature, he is automatically led to its related posting(s). For example, if one starts with the entry for Albert Baker, Jr. which reads 350. 4/29/95 gee Baker, Albert, Junr.; Kingsbury, WAS. See 2348. he is led to ~ 4/29/95 gor Everson, Jacob (w. Margaret); Clinton, DUT; Argyle. WAS; co—gees 350, 362, 363. (B—2:5l7) which in turn refers him to 362. 4/29/95 gee Baker, Caleb; Kingsbury, WAS. See 2348. and to 363. 4/29/95 gee Baker, Charles; Kingsbury, WAS. See 2348. From the above four entries one concludes that 29 April 1795 Jacob Everson 13 and his wife Margaret, both of Clinton, Dutchess County, sell a land parcel in p~gyle, Washington County, to Albert (Junior), Caleb, and Charles Baker, all three of Kingsbury, Washington County. It is immaterial whether the reader starts his review with entry number 350, 362, 363, or 231+8. Inevitably, the same four elements will be drawn together. The entry items fore a directory of all participants in all land sales and mortgage agreements of record within the time period of concern. For that reason one finds, pertaining to the above transaction, this additional entry: 2349. 4/29/95 gor Everson, Margaret. See 2348. In the entries of Part 2 persons’ names are generally spelled in the form fi~~t found on the documents of reference. These symbols and abbreviations are here used: CHA — Charlotte County, NY ESS — Essex County, NY CLI - Clinton CounLy, NY WAS - Washington County, NY Dist.. — District, a subdivision of a county Pat. - a land patent. All places in New York, where possible, are posted as town and county (wiih state deleted) as indicated in “a” below. All out—of-stats locations are posted as in “b”. a) Washington, WT (town of Washington, Dutchess County, New York) b) Poultney, RUT, VT (town of Poultney, Rutland County, Vermont). Present—day town locations of some of Part 2’s outmoded place—names (ex~.D1Ple, Walloomsack Patent) may be determined through reference to the place index of Part 1. Note: Sequentially through time local regions in New York have been defined as patents or manors, precincts, districts, townships, and finally towns. In northeastern New. York the first town was formed in 1785 and the thirteenth mid—year 1788. By the end of 1802 the number of such units had increased to twenty-five. Cautions: In New York prior to 1772 all records of transactions concerning any lands north of Kingston were indiscriminately filed in Albany. Those relatively few pertaining to northeastern New York, difficult to cull from the massive set, have not been here pursued. With few exceptions the data posted in this section have been drawn from the opening lines of the 3550 records reviewed. The detailed land descriptions, found mid—section on most documents, occasionally contain genealogically—significant material. These mid—sections have not been here reviewed. 14 Hope this explains better than I did. -- Pete Chuck Wilcox wrote: > Pete, > Thanks very much for sending me the Wilcox/Goff information.
