Supervisors who represented the Town of Chautauqua on the Board of Supervisors of Genesee County

John McMahan, 1805-07.

Supervisors who represented the Towns of Pomfret & Chautauqua on the Board of Supervisors of Niagara County:

Arthur Bell, Chautauqua, 1808

Philo Orton, Pomfret, 1808, 1809 & 1810

Thomas Prendergast, Chautauqua, 1809

Matthew Prendergast, Chautauqua, 1810

In 1887 Hon. Otis D. Hinckley at that time Clerk of the Board of Supervisors, compiled a list of the boards from 1811 to 1887 both dates inclusive, & of this list ex-Clerk Hinckley writes:

"The matter compiled by me is a concise & absolute correct history of the historical conditions sought to be perpetuated. No other history is correct only in part. All other histories leave out the Board of 1818 & say there is no record. I found the record I printed by visiting all the towns interested & by examination of the original town record, & I affirm that the Board of 1818, as published by me, is as absolutely correct as any page in the Journal."

From 1887 to & including the year 1908, I have taken lists of Supervisors & officers of the Board from the Journals of Proceedings of the several years.

J. A. McGINNIES, Clerk.

Ripley, NY, May 1st, 1909
