Additionally, there was found a notice in the History of Chautauqua County: "CHAUTAUQUE LAND OFFICE.—The subscriber has established his office at Gale's Hotel, in the village of Westfield.— W. H. SEWARD Westfield, July 26, 1836." So it seems as though Henry originally established an office at Larned Gale's hotel. Dates found from Find a Grave.
