I created this index to the 1866 map, to make it easier to check if someone
is on the, or to find them even if you know they should be there. In
some ways, finding an ancestor on a map can be more useful than finding them
in a census. On the other hand, not finding someone does not mean they
didn't live in Gainesville.
The map is the Gainesville Town map, and associated village maps found in
the 1866 Atlas of Genesee and Wyoming Counties by Beers.
On the map, you will see some initials.
The correspond to an adjacent name with the same initials (eg. lot 11N -
H.L os referring to 12S - H.S. Lucas)
Lot # - All towns in western NY were divided into lots when
surveyed, and the lots are numbered. Gainesville starts with lot 1
in the south-east corner, and counts north up to 8 in the north-east
corner. Then, lot 9 is just west of lot 1 and counts north again.
So, the south border has lot 1, 9, 17, 25, 33, 41, 49 and 57 running
east to west. Lot 64 is the north-west corner of the town.
Position gives the general position within the lot: N- North, S- South,
W - West, E - East, C - Central. Since roads often run between
lots, Lot 18 N might be across the road from Lot 19 S.
1880 Census column is a double check. I compared the 1880
census (and sometimes 1860 & 1870) published by the Wyoming County
Historian's Office to verify names. A "No" means I couldn't find
them. A slightly different name is the closest I could find.
