[1794 - The original military township of Cicero, No. 6, comprising the present civil town of Cicero and Clay, formed the extreme northeast corner of the great Military Tract, and like similar subdivisions of that vast territory was surveyed into 100 lots, which were reserved or drawn by soldiers for services in the Revolutionary war as follows: ... 35, Ensign John Fondy; ... The Town of Clay is advantageously situated in the center of the north part of Onondaga county, and originally formed a portion of military township No. 6, Cicero, whcih comprised one hundred losts of six hundred acres each. These lots, as described in a previous chapter, were drawn as bounty lands by veterans of the Revolutionary war, and like nearly all survey divisions of that great tract, passed again and again into the possession of non-residents or actual settlers, often for ridiculous remuneration, until many of the titleas became involved in protracted and costly litigation. Few of the original grantees ever occupied their claims; few indeed ever saw them. This then unbroken wilderness, inhabited by wild beasts and more or less by Indians, had no charms to lure those veteran soldires from eastern homes. Actual settlement, therefore, remained largely for that class of resolute men and women who are characteristic of pioneer communities. The present limits of Clay comprise fifty lots of the old military township of Cicero. These were drawn as follows: ... 35, Ensign John Fondy; ... Out of every one hundred lots six were reserved for gospel and school purposes, and is a noteworthy fact that all thus designated in the military township of Cicero fell within the limits of the present town of Clay, which left for this territory but forty-four grantees.]
