CONTENTS
Joseph Ellicott was chief surveyor and resident agent of the Holland
Land Company, 1800-1821.
Holland Land Company had holdings primarily in New York.
This set contains three primary collections, The Holland Land Company
records, the Henry Glowacki papers, and the Charles W. Evans
collection. The Holland Land Company records, 1790-1837, contain
mostly Joseph Ellicott correspondence. Land sale records are also
included with articles of agreements and contract ledgers for land
sold in and near Buffalo. The Henry Glowacki papers, 1795-1860
were donated in 1892 by Henry Glowacki, a lawyer for proprietors who
bought land and assets from the Holland Land Company in 1835. This
collection contains land transfer records, financial documents,
and land transactions between Massachusetts and various owners of
pre-emption land in Western New York. Also included are land sales
on the Indian Reservations, resulting problems and published law
cases. The Charles W. Evans collection, 1701-1871, includes about
250 letters between Joseph Ellicott and a number of agents of the
Holland Land Company and neighboring land companies, political
figures, settlers, and family members.
Each volume of the Joseph Ellicott correspondence has an name index.
A detailed finding aid precedes all the filmed material on each roll.
