In a letter to Mr. Busti, dated May 30th, Mr. Ellicott describes the selection he had made at the "Bend of the Tonewanta" for his head quarters; the reasons generally for the location; the principal one being the intersection of roads at that point. He informs him that one lot was sold, and one house built, in his new town, that he had concluded to call the place " BUSTIA," or " BUSTIVILLE."* He also informs him that land sales were going on encouragingly; that in one place, along the "Great Road," in the space of ten miles, there are " thirteen new improvements," and he confidently expects that before the close of winter, "more than half of the road will be settled." He congratulated Mr. Busti, upon the in-coming of the new administration, (Mr. Jefferson's,) and construes the ad- vent of Gen. Wilkenson as an earnest that some attention would be paid to this frontier.
Dr. Cyrenus Chapin first visited the Purchase in the fall of 1801. In November of that year, he addressed a letter to Mr. Ellicott dated at Sangerfield, Oneida county. He wishes to take a lot in New Amsterdam, about which he had held some conversation with Mr. Ellicott; and this matter disposed of, he is ambitious to con-
* The honor was promptly declined. Mr. Busti objected to it from an indisposition to be made thus conspicuous in the new country; and besides the name was not enpho- nious; it conveyed to the mind something " ferocious." Mr. Ellicott promptly aban- doned the name, but he very courteously informs Mr. Busti, that he thinks it no more " ferocious" than "Oldenbarneveldt." The name, BATAVIA, was substituted; it was of the Republic to which the Dutch proprietors belonged.

HOLLAND PURCHASE.
tract for what would now be considered a pretty large estate. His proposition, if it had been acceded to, would have made him and his friends the patroons of the city of the lakes :-
" And further I would petition you for a township of land there at the Buffalo-the one that will take in the town, for since my return a number of my friends have solicited me to petition you for a township, and for that purpose forty respectable citizens that are men of good property, have signed articles of agreement to take a township, if it can be purchased; and we will pay the ten per cent. when we receive the article."
The proposition was as a matter of courtesy forwarded to the general agent. In a few weeks Mr. Ellicott informed Dr. Chapin that the answer did not favor his application.
The commissioning of the first Justices of the Peace upon the Holland Purchase, is announced in a letter from Dewitt Clinton, (then private secretary to his uncle, Gov. George Clinton,) to Mr. Ellicott, dated, Dec. 1801 :-
"Asa Ransom and William Rumsey were this day appointed Justices of the Peace for Ontario county, on your recommendation. Sickness prevented my attendance in October, which was the reason of the delay of the appointment. Their commission will, according to the regular routine, be transmitted to the Clerk of the county."
June 19th, 1801. Mr. Ellicott being absent from "Pine Grove," Mr. Ransom writes to him as follows :-
" We are happy to inform you that Mrs. Ransom has become the mother of a fine boy, and is in comfortable circumstances. We shall be ready to wait on you whenever you think proper to return."
The "fine boy," is now Col. Harry B. Ransom, of Clarence. He is the first born upon the Holland Purchase .*
Asa and Elias Ransom, were from Birkshire, Massachusetts. The early resident at Pine Grove, was a silver smith; his first location was at Geneva, engaged in the manufacture of trinkets for the Indians. From thence he removed to Buffalo and engaged in the same business, and from thence to Pine Grove. He died in
* A sister, Mrs. Merrill, (wife of Frederick B. Merrill, Esq. of Cheektowaga, ) was born ia Buffalo, previous to the removal of the family to Pine Grove. Her birth was before the settlement of Holland Purchase commenced. She was undoubtedly the first white child born in all this region, outside the walls of Fort Niagara.

HISTORY OF THE
1837, aged seventy years. His brother Elias, whose early advent is noticed, in connection with some reminiscences of Gen. Hopkins; and who as it will be seen, was an early settler at Buffalo, died seven or eight years since, aged nearly 80 years. He was the father of Elias Ransom, Esq. of Lockport; of Mrs. Street, of Chippewa, and Mrs. Kirby, of Waterloo.
The following letter from the early tavern-keeper at Buffalo, to Mr. Ellicott, indicates the first movement ever made there in reference to a school. The request was granted :-
" BUFFALO, 11th Aug'st. 1801.
SIR,-The inhabitants of this place, would take it as a particular favor if you would grant them the liberty of raising a school house on a lot in any part of the town, as the New York Missionary society have been so good as to furnish them with a school master, clear of any expense, excepting boarding and finding him a school house; if you will be so good as to grant them that favor which they will take as a particular mark of esteem. By the request of the inhabitants.
Jo. ELLICOTT, EsQ.
I am yours, &c. JAS. R. PALMER.
N. B .- Your answer to this, would be very acceptable, as they have the timber ready to hew out."
The following list embraces the names of all the settlers upon the Holland Purchase from the commencement of land sales, up to Jan. Ist, 1807. They are in the order in which the contracts were taken in each year; their locations designated by Townships and Ranges. The reader who is curious to see in what directions set- tlement progressed after the commencement of it along the Buffalo road, will only have to become familiar with the plan of survey of the Holland Purchase-the location of Townships and Ranges, with reference to the present territories of towns and counties :-

The settlements of those tracts will be noted separately. [3Much pains has been taken to include in the list, the names of all settlers, during the years 1801, '2, '3, '4, '5, and '6, but still there may be some names omitted of those who were actual settlers during the period; and there may be names of those who took contracts and never became settlers; though the instances aro but few in either case.
