Introduction to the Co11ection

·- The Cherry Creek Settlements Collection at the Colorado Historical Society represents an important era in the early development of Denver and the Front Range. .Consisting of approximately 7000 pieces, the documents and scraps of legal paper found within are attest to the early settlers need to record legal transactions and claims during the years 1858 through 1860. Hundreds of these quasi-legal papers were filed with the courts from the approximate year of white settlement in the Cherry Creek area (1858) through the year of Colorado becoming a territory (1861). Claims to land in the area were illegal so far as the Native American Indian tribes were concerned until the Treaty of Fort Wise, 18 February, 1861, took away their land except for an area generally in the southeastern quadrant of Colorado Territory. As a provision of the treaty, the city of Denver and adjacent towns were to pay the Arapahoes and Cheyennes $1.25 per acre. An exact statement of the collection 1 s contents is difficult without a folder by folder description. Approximately eighty-five percent of the contents are quitclaim deeds to various lots in the municipalities of Auraria, Highland, St. Charles, and Denver city {later to be merged into the City of Denver). Other town names included in the file folders are Colorado City, Independence city, Golden City, and Montana city. These quitclaim deeds are classified alphabetically by the surname of the seller. The name of the buyer, or the names of other interested parties, are contained in the Cross-Reference Index ~o ~he Collec~ion (see page 15). About eight percent of the contents of the collection are land and farm claims. These are filed alphabetically by the surname of the claimant. They may also be found by browsing the collection listing for those surnames. These papers--scraps in many cases- simply state that the owner claims 160 acres by virtue of having staked it out and give a general location. The claims are located up and down the South Platte River, on Cherry Creek, Dry creek, Plum Creek, Clear creek, and other places but usually with a reference to Denver or Auraria or the confluence of two streams. One claim was made for 320 acres for a town site of the "Rocky Mountain city and Colonization Company," the site being located "at the foot of the mountains 1/2 mile East from Samuel Leonards North East timber Corner." The balance of the collection is best termed "miscellaneous." It includes bills-of-sale (household goods, pharmacy and surgical products, tools) , acts of incorporation, bonds, mortgages and The Cherry Creek Settlements The Colorado Historical Society Collection Number 190 Page 2 ...... - ...... ~-- - ~~ - ~-~-- -·· · ·· · ········ · .. ··· ----· ~ --~-~-- ·-~- ...... _

indentures, powers-of-attorney, injunctions, Arapahoe County warrants, marriage certificates (3), original minutes of some St. Charles Town Company meetings, notary public appointments and buy and-sell agreements. The historical value of this collection is many-sided. First, by cursory examination there was seemingly no rampant land speculation taking place in the early settlements. One of the highest dollar figures on a quitclaim deed is $650.00 (Fisher, Morton c., 10 June 1860). However, the title included 20 full city lots, 20 half lots and 20 thirds of lots; also three ranches of 160 acres each and a fewmiscellaneous lots in Denver. There may have been improvements on the property but it is not stated. Henderson's "Island" was located downstream from Denver in the South Platte River. It consisted of 320 acres and sold for $1500 on 23 August 1860 (Goodrich, Henry). A portion of lot 3 block 36 in Auraria "with improvements" was sold for $40.00 on 10 July 1860. Six w~eks later the owner resold the property for $155.00 (Reed, William W.). Rebecca Rooker, in July of 1859, received a lot for $1.00 from the Auraria Town Company. She resold it for $150. 00 a year later. In December of 1859 a lot sold for $500.00 "together with the appurtenances thereto belonging" (Gibson, James W.). Whether the prices were inflated depends on the location and what the "appurtenances" were. Many cases of what seem to be reasonable prices are revealed in these records. For example, $10.00 purchased half of two lots in December of 1860 (Brown Brothers company), while 1/2 interest in 60 lots went for $300.00 (Amor, John). John F. Payne sold to J.S. Lowery one house and five lots on Larimer Street for $300.00 in July of 1859. If speculation in real estate was going on in the early years, it seems to have been on a scale of tens of dollars or hundreds of dollars rather than in the thousands of dollars. For the sake of comparison with a later decade, lots between California Street and Capitol Hill were selling for $150. oo to $200.00 in 1870, and one lot on the corner of Lincoln and 17th sold for $50.00 in 1879. Nevertheless, dealing in property was lucrative enough for several real estate companies to form. By 1860 their names were imprinted on various legal form blanks for use by customers. Legal descriptions in these records, however, are not terribly precise. Many of the land claims filed in the early years of The Cherry Creek Settlements The Colorado Historical Society ...... ,.w •• Collection Number 190 Page 3 settlement were based on very informal legal descriptions, as witnessed by this land claim:

John Beheng claims one hundred & sixty acres of land on the Platte River being situated on this side of said Platte and about twenty to twenty one miles from the City of Denver down said river. Said claim was taken by said Beheng and improved by erecting a house on it twelve feet by fourteen it is the intention of the said Beheng to still further improve said claims a homestead and for his own use and benefit only. Denver City Kansas (signed) John Beheng October 24, 1859

Interestingly, these land claims of 160 acres of land took place even before the Homestead Act of 1862 formalized the activity. Some of the individuals associated with the settlements were permanent residents. Names like E.P. Stout, Richard E. Whitsitt, Sam Curtis, E.W. Wynkoop, N.G. Wyatt, and Andrew Sagendorf appear in these papers as well as in the later history of Denver. Other people were evidently transients. For example, one W.G. Preston gave his address as 11 the Rocky Mountains." A more accurate view on permanency versus transiency can be obtained by comparing the approximately 700 names contained in this collection with subsequent census records and city directories. A few locations of certain early buildings can be established from these documents. Three or four copies of construction contract agreements are in the collection. At least two agreements between parties preparing to embark for the Kansas Territory gold field found their way into the records. One corrective footnote to history has come to light. Jerome c. Smiley wrote "Our researches in the preparation of this work revealed no instance of a local transaction in real estate in which the property involved was described as having been situated in ·Jefferson Territory • •.. " (History of Denver, page 3 2 0) • In fact, there were some transactions where that was the case. On 17 February 1860, for example, property belonging to A.I. Allison was described as located in Denver city, Jefferson Territory; on 31 January 1860, C.A. Cook & Company quitclaimed some lots in Denver City to Joseph B. Riggs. John c. Nelson, Notary Public on the document, listed his commission from Arapahoe County, Jefferson
