    2. Leslie B. Potter
    3. Dear List, Circa 1750, the Saratoga Patent in Albany County, New York (now Saratoga and Washington Counties) was partitioned a second time. A plat of the Second Grand Division of the Saratoga Patent shows the patentees and their holdings to be as follows: R. L. - Great Lotts No. 1, 9, 20, 28, 34, 42 & 43. [Robert Livingston, the Nephew] J.S. - Great Lotts No. 2, 3, 10, 11, 16, 17, 27, 33, 41 & 44 [Johannes Schuyler (1668-1747), grandfather of General Philip Schuyler (1733-1804)] J.J.B. - Great Lotts No. 4, 12, 18, 25, 31 (Jan Jans Bleecker) D. W. - Great Lotts No. 5, 13, 21, 22, 35, 39, & 46 [Dirk Wessles Ten Broeck (1686-1750/51), the father of Abraham Ten Broeck (1734-1810) C. V. D. - Great Lotts No. 6, 14, 15, 24, 30, 38, & 47 [Cornelius Van Dyck] J. S. & R. L. - Great Lotts No. 7, 8, [Johannes Schuyler and Robert Livingston] P.S & R. L - Great Lotts No. 19, 23, 29, 37, 48 (P_______ Schuyler and Robert Livingston) P.S. - Great Lotts No. 26, 32, 40, & 45 (P__________ Schuyler) J.B. - Great Lotts No. 36 & 49 (Probably Jan Jans Bleecker) Does anyone know enough about the Schuylers to tell me who the P. Schuyler listed on the platt might have been? General Philip Schuyler (1733-1804) would not yet have attained is majority in 1750. So I am inclined to suspect that he is not the P. Schuyler named on the plat. Additionally, when General Schuyler died in 1804, he died seized of all but two of the Great Lotts which his grandfather, Johannes Schuyler, possessed. There are several men named Peter and a couple of other men named Philip on the Schuyler family tree who might be the P. Schuyler on the plat. However, I do not have enough data to make that determination. Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your help. Leslie Potter Glen Mills, PA
