Scope and Content Note

Records on this microfilm relate mostly to surveys, sales, and conveyances of lands in western New York owned by the Pulteney family of Great Britain. Sir William Pulteney (with others) purchased the unsold lands of the (Oliver) Phelps and (Nathaniel) Gorham syndicate in 1792. Records consist of letter books, deed books, surveys, maps and other documents relating to the Pulteney Estate in western New York. The microfilm also includes copies of a few non-Pulteney records in the Steuben County Clerk's Office and from other sources.
