The Kayaderosseras Patent
Saratoga Springs Public Library, 49 Henry St., Saratoga Springs, Noon – 1 p.m.
From 1704 until 1771, over 400,000 acres of land in New York known as the Kayaderosseras Patent remained unsettled by land hungry colonists. As time went by, titles to the land patent passed through many hands, to heirs and assigns of the thirteen original patentees. And because the land had never been surveyed, no one was quite sure exactly where their share was. The story of the Kayaderosseras Patent has all the elements of a good drama - greed, political strife, war, religious zeal, fraud, a cross-dressing Governor and a massive fire which destroyed the paper trail. Saratoga Room librarian Lorie Wies and her colleagues C. Donald Carpenter and James Richmond will present on the social, political and technical findings of their many years of research into this fascinating epic of New York history. For more information, visit www.sspl.org.
