If your ancestors came New England to "Western Country" around the turn of the 19th century and after the War of 1812 then this is the genealogy book for you. My ancestor settled in Niagara County New York just after the war ended in 1815 and took up land in what was then called the Holland Purchase. The land was granted on a long-term, interest-free loan but unbeknownst to him and all the other settlers it was a ruse. They cleared the land and did all the hard work whereupon the loans were called. They couldn't pay so moved on (to Michigan) and their land was sold to wealthy landowners just as the Erie Canal was pushed through. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
The Holland Land Company was a stock corporation formed by six Dutch banking houses for the purpose of buying land in New York. By the year 1797 the Company had purchased some 3.3 million acres of land in western New York, west of the Genesee River. Known as the Holland Land Purchase, all this land was sold off by 1839. This present work is an index to the records, the Land Tables, of the Holland Land Company from their inception in 1804 until the year 1824. Also covered are the land transactions in Morris' Reserve and a tract of land known as the 40,000-Acre Tract, both east of the Purchase.Touching on some 40,000 individual land transactions, the extracts given here provide the purchaser's name, the location of the purchase, the date of the transaction, the type of transaction, and a citation to the original source and microfilm. The area covered in this work extends from Genesee County west to the counties of Erie, Chautauqua, and Cattaraugus, covering such towns as Buffalo and Batavia.
