Biographical History
In 1788 John Livingston and his New York Genesee Company secured a perpetual lease from the Iroquois to a huge tract of land in western New York state. Livingston and the company merged their interests with the Phelps and Gorham enterprise, which had agreed to purchase proprietary rights to the same lands from the state of Massachusetts. In agreement with Phelps, the Livingston concern arranged a council with the Indians at Buffalo Creek, where on July 8, 1788, Oliver Phelps secured the Indian title to approximately one-third of the land to which he had secured the preemption rights.
