Warren Township - Jacob and John Springstead


The remaining Indian titles within the County were extinguished by the 
treaty of Fort Stanwix in 1788. 

+ A tract of land containing 49,710 acres, known as "Chenango Town- 
ship," was granted to A. Hammond and others; another, containing 61,440 
acres, known as "Warren Township," to Robert Harper and others; and 
another, containing 1,000 acres, on both sides of the Susquehanna, was sold 
to Jacob and John Springstead, Josiah, David and Daniel Stow, David 
Hotchkiss and Joseph Beebe. Other tracts were sold to Wm. Allison, Jas. 
Clinton, Isaac Melcher and others. The islands in the Susquehanna 
were sold to James Clinton, at four shillings per acre.
