Cummings (Cummins) (Cumins) (Benjamin) SALISBURY
1835 - Land in Scipio sold to Oliver Eddy

Grantee's Name Oliver Eddy
Grantor's Name Cummins Salisbury
Event Date Jun 1835
Event Type Land Assessment
Entry Number W W
Page Number 147

New York Land Records, 1630-1975

This page is a grantor index (alphabetical, "S" surnames), and it contains exactly one entry for Cummins Salisbury — but it's a valuable one because it appears to be the sequel to the multi-heir deed you just showed me (image_35, the Scipio Lot 14 "undivided eighth parts" conveyance).

The Cummins Salisbury entry (left page)
Field Value
Grantor Salisbury, Cummins
Grantee Oliver Eddy
Town 12
Lot 14
Acres 36
Liber (ditto mark — same volume as row above)
Page 147

The date isn't repeated on this specific line (index convention — it carries forward from the last dated row above it), which appears to be June 1835 based on the Shepard entries just above it in the same date block.

Why this matters — it connects to the deed you showed me previously

Look at the right-hand page, under the same June 1835 date heading:

Grantor Grantee Town Lot Acres Page
Smith, Daniel V. Oliver Eddy 12 14 36 147

Same Town (12), same Lot (14), same acreage (36), same page (147). This is the same transaction — Cummins Salisbury and Daniel V. Smith (one of the co-heirs from the 1831 "undivided eighth parts" deed in Scipio, Lot 14) were both grantors on the same instrument, conveying jointly to Oliver Eddy.

What this tells you
This confirms Town 12 = Scipio in this county's numbering system, and Lot 14 is the same parcel described in the 1831 deed (the "South West half of the State's Hundred acres," Lot No. 14, Scipio).
Disposition of the inherited interest: Cummins Salisbury didn't hold onto his 1/ 8 undivided share indefinitely — by June 1835, he (along with at least Daniel V. Smith, and likely the other 1831 co-heirs on separate but related instruments) sold out to Oliver Eddy, who was consolidating the divided parcel.
36 acres vs. the original approx. 50 acres, less 1½ reserved to Simon Peck — the acreage figures are consistent with the earlier deed's description, supporting that this is the same land moving through final consolidation.
Liber/ Page 147 is your citation to pull the actual deed — that document should name Cummins Salisbury's residence in 1835 (helpful since your Chautauqua County acknowledgment was from 1831 — this later deed could show whether he was still there or had moved, possibly further along toward Michigan).
