“ Phelps and Gorham originally contracted for the whole tract at $1,000,000, payable in a kind of scrip called “ Consolidated
Securities,” then much below par. A rise to par prevented them from fulfilling the agreement.
* In 1801, conveyed in undivided halves to the State of Conn. and Sir Wm. Pulteney, the former using part of her School Fund
in the purchase. Divided by alternate lots in 1811.
« Conveyed in four tracts to the agents of the Holland Co.: viz., 1,500,000,Dec. 24,1792, to Le Roy and Dincklaen; 1,000,000
Feb. 27,1793, to Le Roy, Lincklaen, and Boon; 800,000, July 20,1793, to the same; and 300,000, same date, to Le Roy, Bayard,
and Clarkson.
