SUNY New Paltz

The Conference website is at:

> Greetings:  We are searching for information regarding Simeon DeWitt, a
surveyor circa 1802-1814, who worked in Western New York.  In particular,
we are interested in obtaining information about other jobs and titles Mr.
DeWitt held.  We have one reference which states he was "the General of New
York". ??
>
> We are also searching for information regarding Strawberry Island,
located in the Niagara River, Erie County, New York.
>
> Any information you can provide on either topic is greatly appreciated.
My sincerest thanks.  I can be reached at:
