Lindley and Presho Area
In 1789, at the conclusion of the Indian Treaty in Canandaigua , New York in which Lindsley had been invited to participate, he purchased Township 1,Range 2 in the County of Ontario. In the spring of 1790, Colonel Lindsley with party of 37 relatives and friends, left New Jersey for a new settlement in the area that he had purchased. This settlement was known as Lindleytown or Lindsley. In later years, the "s" was dropped and the town today is known as Lindley. Colonel Lindsley was elected to serve as the first representative in the New York Legislature from Ontario County. He died in 1794.Source:
