Livingston County Land GrantsLivingston County Land GrantsThis page created 28 Apr 2007
The records below focus on grants involving the following persons. I have endeavored to find all grants involving them from the establishment of Livingston County on 21 May 1799 until Eddyville and surrounds became part of newly formed Caldwell Co. 1 May 1809. Because the records are not indexed, and are handwritten and difficult to read, some were no doubt missed.
|
Gideon Dyer Cobb: |
Moved to Eddyville from Fair Haven, Vermont as part of the party organized by Matthew Lyon about 1800, with his wife Modena Chittenden Clark, and their eldest son, Caleb. |
|
Samuel C. Clark: |
Lived with Gideon, and is assumed to be a relative of Gideon's wife, but that is unproved. |
|
Matthew Lyon: |
Organizer of the move to Eddyville, second husband of Modena (Clark) Cobb's sister Beulah. |
|
Elijah G Galusha: |
Cousin to Modena (Clark) Cobb; son of her aunt Beulah Chittenden by her first marriage. |
|
Joshua Cobb: |
Brother of Gideon, known to live in Greene Co. PA before moving to IN. The Joshua Cobb listed below may not be this Joshua Cobb. |
|
John Cobb: |
Brother of Gideon and Joshua, lived in Greene Co. PA and, I believe, later in Eddyville area. |
Record of some other associates are included, along with mentions of some of the individuals involved in the transactions listed, but those should not be considered complete.
