Here are two books that might be of interest: The Pioneer History of the Holland Purchase by O. Turner. This was republished in 1974 by James Brunner in Geneseo, New York. It may still be available from the County Historical Society in Batavia. Joseph Ellicott and the Holland Land Company by William Chazanof, Syracuse University Press 1970 ISBN 8156-0072-0 Good luck, and by the way I am interested in early Buell's from that area (Batavia) circa 1807 if you run across any information.
