"General CANTINE, General James CLINTON and John HATHORN were named, and were known as the "Chemung Commissioners." In laying out and surveying the lands of Chemung township (before Tioga county was formed), they made large selections of land in this and other localities for themselves and their friends. One of these selections was a tract of 3,200 acres, now in the town of Caroline, known locally as "The Cantine Great" and the "Cantine Little Locations."...General CANTINE had located the lands upon the claims of militia soldiers called class men, who were entitled to 100 or more acres each.
