e CAUTION.
r "\TTHF.RHAS a combination of men in this
h V V county have undertaken to enrich them- I
y selves.l y fabricating titles to sundry valuable trada '
il of land, the property of gentlemen living in New \
Yoik, Philadelphia, London tnd Paris, for which j
«. trails of knd large funis of moneyhave been paid ;
J to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers
s It is therefore just that public information (hotild
s be given, to the end, that the injured may feekre- 1
r dress while the ivcn have property, and are to be
1 found. Those who have been discovered are Tru
e m-1! Harrifon, Joleph Witcomb, said now to re
-- fide in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and 1
several othert who go under fiilitious names. It is
■- supposed that the lands offered fcr sale on those fa
i» bricated titlti, are at lcaft worth fifty thousand
- doliars. Such as we have a&ual knowledge of are '
'f as follows : Lots No. II and ;a, Ot/ego patent,
thousand acres each, the atftuai property of William
Uellwyn, now of London ; lots No. 58 and 64,
lame patent, thousand acres each, the property of
Mr. Chauciont, now of Paris, and fames Avtrill
and others, e*l tni* State. There is fonie grounds 1
I, to suppose that the lands of RichardgWclls and
Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their
, | management.—The Printers will do well to give
. j tbi»a place in their papers, as well to caution the
, ; public against purchafir.g those lauds, as also to de r
8 ( prive those men in future from imposing on indivi
dual, which their educatiou and address have en
abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been
afhopkeeper of some nore in this eountry.
The following affidavits will fct in a clear point
of view the. wickcdncfs of those men, which when
the public have perused, will induce them to ex
cuse the interference of Wm. COOPER.
Otfego, July 18th, 1797.
I I bonus Kelly, of the County of Otfego, hav- 1
a '"E been led into an error, by John Witcomb and
iruman Har/ilon, of theiame County, .to sign a
deed to them, for lot No. 58, Orfego patent, wluoh 1
- was the property of William T. Frar.klin now Mr.
diamonds and others ; and further the said Joseph '
and Truman did persuade me to do this against my
inclination, which was made out 011 the icth day
of November, 1793, or set back two ycats so as !
_ to bring it to that time; and further the name of
Pardon Starks to that deed \\as a fiAitious nanus, (

from giving him employment, of any kind 1
