The Livingston County chapter in Mather & Brockett's Geographical History of the State of New York (1848).  Livingston County receives comparatively generous treatment as upstate New York counties go in this 1848 gazetteer.  Six pages (which includes a map) contain considerable information and are certainly important to the historical record.  We also include the chapter on land grants and patents that underlie New York State counties.  6++ pages, in PDF format, download now for $2.25.
