CAUTION.
WHEREAS a combination of men in tM*
county have undertaken to enrich thtm-,
selves.by fabricating titles tofundr/ valuable tra As
of land, the property of gentlemen living in New
Yoik, Philadelphia, London and Paris, lor which
trails of hud large fu/ns of money have been paid
to those fraudulent men, by innocent purchasers •
It is therefore ju ft that public information (hould
be given, to the end, that the injured may seek re
dress while the raen have property, and are to be
found. Those who have been discovered are Tru
man Harrifon, Jofepli Witcomb, said now to re
side in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and
several otheri who go under fictitious names. It is
supposed that the lands offered fcr falcon those fa
bricated titles, are at lead worth fifty thousand
dollars. Such as we have a&ual knowledge of are
as follows : Lots No II and la, Otfego patent,
thcufand acres each, the adual property of William
Dellw)n, now of Loudon ; lots No. 58 and 64,
fame pstent, thousand acres eaeh, the property of
Mr. Chaumont, now of Paris, and James Averill
and other*, of this State. There is some grounds
to suppose that the lands of Richard W ells and
Charles Wharton, of Philadelphia, are under their
management.»— The Printers will do well to give
this a place in their papers, as well to caution the
public against purchasing those iand6, as also to de
prive those men in future from imposing on indivi
dual, which their education and addiefs have en
abled them todo heretofore. Witcomb has been
a ihupkeepcr of some note in this country.
The following affidavits will set in a clear point
of. view the wicludrefs of those men,which when
the public have perused, will induec them to ex
cuse the interference of Wm. COOPER.
Otfego, July 18th, 17J7.
J Thomas Kelly, of the County of Otfego, hav
ing been led into an error, by John Witcomb and
Truman HarrifoO, of the fame County, to sign a
deed to thani, for lot No. 58, Otfego patent, which
was the property of William T. Franklin now Mr.
Chamont's and others; and further /'it said Joseph
and Truman did persuade me to do this against my
inclination, which was made out on the rcth day
of November, 1793, or set back two years so as
to bring it to that time ; and further the name of
Pardon Starks to that deed was a fictitious nam-.*,
there being no such perlon (here. To this 1 make

winter of 1796, to make them a deed for two thou
sand acres of land in the Otego patent, and pro
mised this deponent a (hire of the profit?, on the
sale of said lands, for his so doing ; and thut they
made applicatioSfeveral times for the fame purpo e,
which services this deponent as often refufed, de
claring to them that he had no right to lands, and

he has opened his ofßce at his houle the south eatk

j for claims with the vouchers aud documents thereof,
for the purpofc of bringing forward the fame agree
ably so the rules and orders which the board may
think proper to prescribe.
| And as it will be for the interest of all concerned,
that the several claims be so dated, and fupporU
ed, as to prevent the delay whioh would arise from
theyieceflity of obtaining further information, or ad
ditional materials,froin persons Tefiding at »distance,
the general agent thinks it his duty to add, (for the
dire&ion chirfly of those, who, not having employ
ed particular agents, may leave the prosecution of
their claims to his charge and management) that all
such claims ought in particular to set torih—
I id. The proper defcripiion and Titration of the

4th The loss and damage incurred or fuftalned,

The general agent thinks it his duty further to fug
