Of the above grants, all but 180,620 acres were granted in direct disobedience to the Order in Council of 1767. Lieutenant Governor Cadwallader Colden, acting as chief magistrate, treated the grants made by Benning Wentworth as nullities and the settlers as trespassers, and went on making grants after the Order in Council of 1767. Governor Moore respected the order. By the rest it was disregarded. In addi- tion to the above grants there were so-called military patents covering 303,100 acres, making in all 2,418,710 acres granted in this state by New York authorities. It is charged that the military patents were really made largely for the benefit of speculators, to whom the officers and soldiers, having come from Europe and desiring to return thither, disposed of their claims for trifling sums.
