MILITARY TRACT TOWNSHIP #22 - ULYSSES NY- 1776, Sept. 16 At the time of the American Revolution, NY State was given a quota of 4 battalions to muster. Congress agreed to offer bounty land of 100 acres to regular soldiers, together with larger bounty land allocations to officers by rank. (Amended for higher officers on 12 Aug. 1780) 1781 March 20 NY-State was behind on their quota. So the NY legislature offered an additional 500-acres of bounty land as an incentive for soldiers to enlist and larger allocations to officers by rank. 1782, July 25 To satisfy the promise of bounty land, the 'Military Tract' boundaries are established. Each township of about 60,000-acres would contain 100 individually surveyed lots. Each bounty land lot would contain about 600-acres. On 1788 Sep 12, the Onondaga Nation releases their claim to military tract lands and reservation boundaries are defined. On 1789 Feb. 25, the Cayuga Nation releases their claim to military tract lands and their reservation boundaries are defined. 1790 July 3rd Surveys of the first 25 townships are completed and the first 25 Townships are named. 1794 March 5 When Onondaga County NY is created, the former townships of Ulysses & Dryden are combined to make the Town of Ulysses. 1799 March 8 Cayuga County NY is formed from part of Onondaga County. 1802 March 30 The Town of Hector NY is formed from the Town of Ovid. 1803 Feb. 22 The Town of Ulysses, NY is subdivided to create the Town of Dryden NY 1804 March 24: Seneca County NY is formed from part of Cayuga County. 1817 April 7: Tompkins County formed from portions of Cayuga & Seneca Counties and the Town of Covert NY is established. 1821 Mar 16 The Town of Ulysses, NY is subdivided by creating the Towns of Enfield, Ulysses & Ithaca.

NOTE: The spelling of names contained in 'The Balloting Book' does not always match the spelling of names cited on the military land patents. Also, the military rank can sometimes vary when comparing the land patent with the same lot within The Balloting Book. Consequently, I tried to cite all spelling & rank options on the above list.
