Excerpt from A Sketch of the Early Settlement of Olean: And Its Founder, Major Adam HoopsIt seemed necessary to begin the sketch with a brief synopsis of the colonial history of New York, naming the divisions and sub-divisions that have been made from time to time, and the several jurisdictions that the territory, now embraced within the limits of Cattaraugus county, has been under since the Revolutionary period. Heretofore little or nothing has been known concerning Major Adam Hoops, and many have doubted whether he ever visited his purchase in Western New York. The letters quoted are proof that he not only visited frequently the settlement at Olean Point, but was famil iar with all the territory in the western part of the state. M. D.
