Not sure if your aware there are several Livingston Co. History Books (and articles in old magazines) on line at the Making of America site. They cover about 181- to the 1920s. Digitized in their original form, including the ones below. Actually Cornell has a lot of Livingston County material on line, including Livingston County Historical Society's history of the treaty of Big Tree. Just type in "Livingston County" There are a lot of hits.
