Revolutionary War Bounty Land
In "The Military Tract Of Central NY"
For The Area Within Cayuga County, New York

On page 152 of this same book, in the section, 'Delivery of Patents For Land In The Military Tract'...it cites:
Patentees' Names - Babbet, Reuben, dead.....
Patent to whom delivered - To Richard Edwards, Administrator

I don't know why the name is spelled both ways in this book.

Your page says:
Bundge Michael Cato 22 Ira
Actually, Michael's name was BURDGE.

The 1841 Pensioners List, New York State - Excerpts, pg 273:
Michael Burdge, b. ca 1764; in 1835, living in Cayuga Co

The History of Cayuga County 1789-1879, by Elliot Storke, pg 274:
Town of Ira
In 1802 the settlements were augmented by Daniel Parker, from Marcellus; John C. Barnes and his sons, from Sempronius; Edward Wood, from Sennett; and Rev. Michael Burge. Parker settled on lot 69, where Abiah Cook now lives, his farm extending to the south line of the town. In his log house much of the business of the town was transacted at an early day. He died on the old homestead, which is still held by the family, his daughter being Abiah Cook's mother. Barnes settled on lot 70, on the farm now owned by Eleazer F. Jaynes, where he died about 1837. His sons were Amos, John, Luther, Zadoc and Silas, all of whom are dead. The later two died during the epidemic of 1811. Silas settled on the same lot with his father, and Zadoc on lot 83, on the west part of Isaac R. Merritt's farm. The death of the wife of Silas Barnes, in 1802, was the first in the town. Norton C. Barnes, a son of Luther, is living in Cato. Wood settled on lot 89. Burge drew lot 22 as a soldier's claim and settled on it. He was great-grandfather of David H. Marvin, who now resides on lot 24.
