Y., From Its First Settlement to Jan. 1, 1876 The value of this tract seems to have been well known at that time, as the land papers Show that on the sth of April, 1769, William Kelley, in behalf of Lord Viscount Townsend and twenty-four associates, petitioned for a grant of acres, bounded east by Cumberland Bay and extending west on both Sides of the Saranac River, including the land covered by the warrant of survey, of January 27, 1768, above mentioned (vol. De Fredenburg, who had been a captain in the British army, was a person of repute and oi some pecuni ary means. He was one of the gentlemen composing the retinue of Gov. Moore and Gen. Carlton, at the time they visited Lake Champlain in the autumn of 1766, to establish the boundary line between the Provinces of New York and Canada. His dwelling on the banks of the Saranac is described as having been sumptuously furnished, and the seat of refinement and taste. Here, surrounded by the families of his workmen, who dwelt in rude cabins near the lake or at the Falls, he lived with his wife and children in almost unbroken solitude, looking forward to the day when his broad acres would be cleared and his possessions on the Saranac should produce baronial wealth.
