On the evening of October 25th, as aforesaid, the convention duly met, and was called to order by the President, E. Johnson; opened by singing and prayer. Business was then resumed. The Secretary not being present, Prof. Chancy C. Jemison, of Cattaraugus, was appointed to fill the vacancy.
I observed to them that as I was incapable of transacting business of that nature, I would wait till Mr. To this Jemison replied that if I waited till Mr. Clute returned, he should not get the land at all, and appeared very anxious to have the business closed without delay.

It was in case of Mary Jemison, the White Woman, who lived on the Genesee river, some few miles above Mt. Morris.
