1790 New York Unsettled Territory List

New Netherland and Beyond

New York State 1788-1800's
1790 Unsettled Territory Inhabitants

This list was compiled by comparing the 1790 New York State Census to the names listed in J. H. French's Book, as first settlers, during the years 1788-1790. The persons listed may have relocated or died before the census was taken, so the certainty of them actually being omitted is questionable. The list provides an option for locating unnamed persons possibly existing during the census year. County and Township indicate the location stated in J. H. French's Book Gazetteer of the State of New York, (c)1860.
