Under the treaty of 20 May 1842, the Senecas renounced their claims to the Buffalo Creek and Tonawanda Reservations; and the Ogden Land Company retained rights of pre-emption to the Allegheny and Cattaraugus Reservations. The treaty provided for two arbitrators, one appointed by the Secretary of War, the other by the Ogden Land Company, to assign value to improved and unimproved lands sold. Thomas C. Love was appointed by the Secretary of War, and Ira Cook by the Ogden Land Company. The properties on the Buffalo Creek, Cattaraugus, and Allegheny Reservations were surveyed during 1843 and 1844, and values assigned. Since the surveyors were not allowed access to the Tonawanda Reservation, the figures for that tract were estimated.
