Hi Forrest. Thanks for responding.

There are several books that were mostly published in the late 19th
century that mention these families. A couple of them are available
on-line on the Delaware County web site. Some also can be found at the
New York State Library in Albany and one of them (the abstract of wills)
I found in the Buffalo Public Library.

In no particular order,

Delaware County, New York, History of the Century, 1797- 1897,
Centennial Celebration. Edited by David Murray. Published by William
Clark, Delhi, New York. 1898.

History of Delaware County, New York with Illustrations, Biographical
Sketches and Portraits of some Pioneers and Prominent Residents. New
York: W W Munsell & Co. 1880

Biographical Review, The Leading Citizens of Delaware County.
Biographical Review Publishing Company. Boston, 1895.

Abstract of Wills, Delaware County, New York, 1797 - 1885. Prepared by
Gertrude Barber. 1940.

At the Delaware County Historical Association, I also found an atlas
which showed the names of the farmers in the Kortright area. I am not
sure of the date but mid 19th century.

Cheers, Neil
