The proprietors offered this tract for sale by townships or parts of townships; and during the summer of 1789, several families settled on and near the site of the old Indian village at Canandaigua; at Bloomfield, and on Boughton Hill now in the town of Victor.
So rapid were the sales of the proprietors that before the 18th day of November 1790 they had disposed of about fifty townships, which were mostly sold by whole townships or large portions of townships, to sundry individuals and companies of farmers and others formed for that purpose.
On the 18th day of November, 1790, they sold the residue of their tract (reserving two townships only,) amounting to upwards of a million and a quarter acres of land, to Robert Morris of Philadelphia, who soon sold the same to Sir William Pultney, an English gentleman who appointed Capt. Charles Williamson his general and resident agent, to superintend his interest in, and dispose of the lands by sale in small or large quantities.
