Present day assessments for Conesus, Livingston County, New York, here. Haven't figured out how to translate the above information into present day property.

*Information taken from my defunct website
**Albert Acker's link to Find-A-Grave mentions his property in Sutton Cottonwood Point; this map may be helpful determining the location of his property

A list of the original owners of lots in Conesus can be found here (do a search for "maps" in that site).
