This was an enormous county, including the northern part of New York State as well as all of the present State of Vermont and, in theory, extending westward to the Pacific Ocean. This county was reduced in size on July 3, 1766 by the creation of Cumberland County, and further on March 16, 1770 by the creation of Gloucester County, both containing territory now in Vermont.Chenango County was formed in 1798 from parts of Tioga and Herkimer Counties. Finally, Madison County was created from Chenango County in 1806. CONTENTS. A SKETCH OF MONROE COUNTY. Bv Wm. F. Peck 102 CHAPTER I. THE INDIAN OCCUPATION.
