These papers consist of land survey field books, survey bills, and map folios of Renselaerswyck that were compiled chiefly by Job Gilbert, John E. Van Alen, and William Cockburn from about 1785 to 1800. The survey field books contain the actual land surveys and plats (drawings of parcels of land) of many individual lots in both East and West Manor. The surveys detail the distance between compass degree points which was generally measured in chains at the time. See chart below for further information regarding units of measurements commonly found in the surveys. Total acreage is also recorded in the description of the lot as well as remarks on the characteristics of the land, such as fertility of the soil, type of timber, and other information regarding agricultural value of the land. Descriptions may also indicate the date when the lease was executed.
Most of the surveys are found in bound volumes that are organized by the names of townships used by the surveyors. Some of these volumes also include an index to the names of tenants of a particular farm lot. In addition to the field books are found many loose survey bills and plats that are also arranged under the name of a particular township. A series of related map folios of East Manor townships and southwest corner of the West Manor complement the surveys by showing all the lots of a given townships. The name(s) of the individual or party that hold title to a particular lot are identified on these maps. Both the surveys and maps are surprisingly very accurate, considering the rugged wilderness of much of the manor lands in the late eighteenth century, as well as the seemingly primitive instruments in use at this time.
The Hudson River divided the Rensselaerwyck into the East Manor and the West Manor. The East Manor lands included all of Rensselaer County south of Lansingburgh, Schaghticoke, Pittstown, and Hoosick. John Van Alen and Job Gilbert, the principle surveyors of the East Manor, created divisions named Elizabethtown, Philipstown, Roxborough, Greenbush, Schodack, Stephentown, Middletown, and Little Hoosick. Elizabethtown included the present town of Brunswick and part of the City of Troy. Greenbush included lands that are presently situated in the City of Rensselaer, East Greenbush, North Greenbush, and the western parts of Postenkill and Sand Lake. Roxborough included the present town of Grafton and the western part of Petersburgh. Philiptown included the present town of Nassau and the western part of Stephentown. Middletown included chiefly the eastern portions of the present towns of Poestenkill and Sand Lake and the western portion of Berlin. Little Hoosick encompassed the present town of Petersburgh and the eastern portion of Berlin.
All of Albany County was included in the West Manor except the City of Albany, the southeast portion of the Town of Coeymans and the northern part of the Town of Watervliet (now the Town of Colonie). William Cockburn, Jacob Winne, and John Preston were the surveyors for many of the West Manor lots. Land records related to the West Manor cover primarily the southwest corner that now comprises the towns of Berne, Knox, Rensselaerville, and Westerlo.
Common units measurement found in surveys.
| Acre | The (English) acre is a unit of area equal to 43,560 square feet, or 10 square chains, or 160 square poles. It derives from a plowing area that is 4 poles wide and a furlong (40 poles) long. A square mile is 640 acres. The Scottish acre is 1.27 English acres. The Irish acre is 1.6 English acres. |
| Chain | Unit of length usually understood to be Gunter's chain, but possibly variant by locale. The name comes from the heavy metal chain of 100 links that was used by surveyors to measure property bounds. |
| Gunter's Chain | Unit of length equal to 66 feet, or 4 poles. Developed by English polymath Edmund Gunter early in the 1600's, the standard measuring chain revolutionized surveying. Gunter's chain was 22 yards long, one tenth of a furlong, a common unit of length in the old days. An area one chain wide by ten chains long was exactly an acre. In 1695 Queen Elizabeth I had the mile redefined from the old Roman value of 5000 feet to 5280 feet in order for it to be an even number of furlongs. A mile is 80 chains. |
| Furlong | Unit of length equal to 40 poles (220 yards). Its name derives from "furrow long", the length of a furrow that oxen can plow before they are rested and turned. See Gunter's chain. |
| Link | Unit of length equal to 1/100 chain (7.92 inches) |
| Pole | Unit of length and area. Also known as a perch or rod. As a unit of length, equal to 16.5 feet. A mile is 320 poles. As a unit of area, equal to a square with sides one pole long. An acre is 160 square poles. It was common to see an area referred to as "87 acres, 112 poles", meaning 87 and 112/160 acres. |
Below are some of the terms that are frequently found in remarks by the surveyors that described the soil conditions and other physical characteristics of the land.
| "Strong Soil" | Loamy, firm, hard, and compact |
| "Middling Soil" | Tolerable, barely acceptable |
| "Indifferent Soil" | Moderate or of middle rank |
| "Cold Soil" | Hydric or great tendency to hold water |
| "Uneven" | Hilly or rolling terrain |
| "Vly" | Dutch term for swamp or marsh (wetlands) |
| "Rock Oak" | Chestnut oak (Quercus Montana) |
| "Fir" | Balsam fir (Abies balsamca) |
