Early Residents of Hamilton County, NY

While Hamilton County was not formed until after 1816 many settlers began arriving in that area of Montgomery County which would later become the present county of Hamilton. By 1810 the Asst. Marshall of Montgomery County , Volkert S. Needer, would enumerate 465 people living in the vicinity of the town of Wells which comprised an area now covered partially by the towns of Hope, Lake Pleasant, Long Lake, and Wells (and including that area once called the town of Gilman). Here is a listing of those he found on December 28, 1810:
