The following list of settlers were reported to be the earliest settlers of Middlebury in the book History of Wyoming County New York with Illustrations, Biographical Sketches and Portraits of Some Pioneers and Prominent Residents by F. W. Beers & Co., 1880. The reported source of the information is the Holland Land Company records. I have copied the records here just as they appeared in the book, except one date enclosed in [brackets]. That date was obtained from an index of the land records.
