Town of Fabius Clerk Archival Records Listing

On March 9, 1798, the Town of Fabius was formed which was part of lot 15 of the New York State Military Tract. The Military Tract was the compensation of soldiers who served in the Revolutionary War. As it required almost 10 years to develop and obtain title to portions of theTract, many soldiers sold their interests prior to the actual balloting and assigning of lots. This helps to explain why on 12 of the 50 town lots were actually settled by grantees. Four of the town lots were reserved by law for church and school use.
