180533731Fairfield County 1805. Broadsheet 12-1/2" x 15-1/2". Printed document completed in ink manuscript. Old folds with some repaired splits and one 6" unrepaired split. Some small chips along a few splits with minimal loss. Light tanning scattered spotting. Good. <br/><br/> The original grant for this land was to Nehemiah Phippeny who lost title for nonpayment of taxes. The land was sold to Lothrop Lewis of Fairfield Connecticut on May 27 1805. On the verso are hand written transfers of the same piece of property: from Lothrop Lewis to William Hawley of Woodbury January 21 1806; from Hawley to Nehemiah Dibble of Stamford February 7 1806; from Dibble to Zalmon & Seymour Wildman of Danbury October 20 1806. There is also a voided transaction crossed out from Hawley to William Lamson of Waterbury January 31 1806. <br/> In 1800 the State of Connecticut granted to her citizens who were sufferers by fire caused by the British during the Revolutionary War a half million acres of land lying within the State of Ohio which was to be taken off the west part of the "Western Connecticut Reserve" now embraced in the counties of Huron and Erie. By an 1803 Act of Ohio the sufferers were incorporated as "The proprietors of the half million acres of land lying south of Lake Erie called 'Sufferers' Land'." The Act required management of the Company by a Board of Directors. The Board was to locate and survey the granted land and to partition it among the different claimants. This part of the Western Reserve was inhabited by Indians who engaged in warfare with the settlers. On July 4 1805 a treaty between the United States and the Wyandot Ottawa Chippewa Munsee and Delaware Shawanee and Pattawatamy nations was signed whereby those Indian nations in consideration of $18916.68 released their claims to all the lands owned by the company. unknown books
