Deeds

The records below focus on deeds involving the following persons. I have endeavored to find all deeds 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, as well as other deeds involving these person in later years, but a few may have been 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.
Caleb Clark Cobb Eldest son of Gideon Dyer Cobb and Modena Chittenden Clark
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.
Hanson Catlett The husband of Matthew Lyon's daughter Minerva.

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.
