http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/82605699

This series consists of volumes containing summary information about land patents that the Colony of New York and the State of New York granted to military veterans. The first volume (A3123-05) contains abstracts of patents for parcels of land, chiefly in the Hudson Valley region, that colonial authorities granted in 1764-1775 to officers and enlisted men who had served in the French and Indian War. The second volume (A3123-78) contains abstracts of patents for lands in northern and central New York that the state granted in 1790-1797 to veterans of the Revolutionary War. Both volumes include abstracts of patents granting lands that New York subsequently ceded to Vermont.
