CAUTION.
WHEREAS a combination of men in tM.
county have undertaken to enrich th«m
felve»,by fabricating titles to fundr/ valuable tra&«
of land, the piopertyof gentlemen living in New
York, Philadelphia, London and Paris, for which
tracts of lend large funis of money have been paid
to thofc fraudulent men, by innocent purthafers •
It is therefore just that public information should
be given, to the end, that the injured may foekre
drefs while the men have property, and are to be
found. Those who have been discovered are Tru
man Harrifon, Joseph Witcomb, said now to re
side in the county of Saratoga ; Thomas Kelly and
several others who go under fictitious names. It is
supposed that the binds offered fcr sale on those fa
bricated titles, are at least worth fifty thousand'
doliars. Such as we have a<stual knowledge of are
as follows : Lots No. II and 12, Otfego patent,
thousand acres each, the a<9ua! property of William
Pellwyn, now of London ; lots No. 58 and 64,
fame patent, thousand acres each, the property of
Mr. C'haumont, now of Paris, and James Averill
and other., ol this Stmte. There is some grounds
to fuppofc that the lands of Richard Wclis 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 thofc lands, as also to de
prive those men in future from imposing on indivi
duafs, which their education and address have en
abled them to do heretofore. Witcomb has been
a Ihopkceper of some note in this eountry.
The following affidavits will fit in a clear point
of view the wick.dnefs of those men,which when
the public have prrufed, will induee them to ex
cufc the interference of Wm. COOPER.
Otfego, July 28th, 1757.
I Thomas Kelly, of the County of Otfego, hav
ing been led into an error, by John Witcomb and
Truman Harrifon, of the fame County, to sign a
deed to them, for lot No. 58, Otfego patent, svhich
was the property of William I ■ Franklin now, Mr.
Chamont's and others ; and further the said Joseph
and Truman did pcrfuade me to do this against my
inclination, which was made out on the icth 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 name,
there being no inch perlon there. To this I make
voluntary oath. i , THOMAS KELLY.

On the 18th July, 1797, came before me Jacob
Kibby, a person by ttie well ki:own and worthy of
good credit, who on his fnlemn oath did fay, that
two of the parties abovementioned did make ap
plication to .him this deponent, funic time in the
winter of 1796, to make them a deed for two thou
sand acrts of land in the Otego patent, and pro
mised this deponent a share of the profits, on the
sale of said lands, for his so doing ; andth it they
made application several times for the fame purpo e,
which fsrviegs this deponent as often reftifed, de
claring to them that he had no right to lands, and
coulddo no such thing ; which daring attempt 011
this deponent's integrity he had related among his
friends several times, previous to making this affi

the necelfityof obtaining further information, or ad

the general agent thinks it his duty to add, (for the
