| Bio notes | A group of British investors who bought a part of the Phelps and Gorham Purchase in 1792. Originally territory that belonged to the Seneca and other Iroquois tribes of Western New York, the speculators for which it was named fell into difficulties and sold the remainder of their land to Robert Morris. His agent, in turn, sold twelve million acres to the Pulteney Association, an area comprising all of Ontario, Steuben, and Yates counties, and parts of Allegany, Livingston, Monroe, Schuyler, and Wayne counties. Other names for the area include the Pulteney Purchase, the Genesee tract, or the Pulteney Estate. |
