Mr. Mallery, Thanks again for your several responses. For some reason this message was delayed and I just received it this afternoon - that explains my earlier question about whether the place still existed. Would you know if there are any records available of property sales in the 19th century? Please note that I am not asking you to look anything up, only whether the records might be around for research at some time in the future. You've been most helpful. May I ask if you have some association with the local history efforts in Delaware County? I have copies of several documents that were written by Estelle Laussat Willoughby in the period around 1900 that may be of interest to the local history people and I'd be happy to provide them if (and, unfortunately, only if) the individual from whom they came agreed. My understanding is that they were written specifically for some local history effort at that time, and they discuss the anti-rent activities and other incidents from the perspective of a major land owner.
