Queen Hester Flats Map
The list below is on the printed fac simile of Map
Made by Zephon Flower. The exact location for this map is unknown. [Map
Below]
I know that the majority of my material collected
was from counties of Ontario, Steuben, Schuyler, Tompkins, Livingston and
Chemung.
My guess is that it of someplace in Ontario or Livingston
County.
It mentions Queen Hester and the Tioga Creek. I have been told that this is the map of a place below Athens Pa.
If you print out the two maps and place them
side by side you will have a complete map, apparently of lands bought by
the names below, on both sides of a river.
