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.
