 There were two patents in Dutchess County with similar names:
The Great (or Lower) Nine Partners Patent of 1697 The Little (or Upper) Nine Partners Patent of 1706 Although they were adjacent to each other (in the northeastern quadrant of the county, see the map), they were quite distinct, having different "partners".
