 | | General Richard Montgomery, born in Ireland December 2, 1736, became a citizen of New York, and, although a trained officer of the English Army, threw in his influence and service in the provincial affairs of America. |
 | | The residents of the north half of the County were incensed by this action and, in 1838, petitioned the Legislature to set their part off as a separate County, which was done under the title of Fulton. |
 | | The County as left by this final division is bounded on the north by Fulton; on the east by Schenectady and Saratoga; on the south by Schenectady, Schoharie and Otsego; on the west by Herkimer. |
