Note that the name Reuben Babbet is also apparently the same person listed as Reuben Bennet in the 'Balloting Book'.

Lot number 1 of the original Township of Cato (Township #3) was balloted to Reuben Bennet as cited on page 117, of the book titled "The Balloting Book And Other Documents Relating To The Military Bounty Lands, In The State Of New York" (1825). However, on page 68 of this same book, under the heading 'The Dead Of The Several Regiments' it lists: Reuben Babbet in the 1st Regiment, M'Kean Company, Balloted for land in Township #3,Lot #1, 500 acres on Sept. 13, 1790. On page 103 of this same book, in the section, 'Connolly's Original Return Of The Dead-'A RETURN Of The Dead Of The Several New-York Regiments...it lists:
Name & Rank - Babbet, Reuben
Regiment - 1st
Company - M'Keen (note it was spelled M'Kean on page 68)
Remarks - Died... 1 May '78

On page 152 of this same book, in the section, 'Delivery of Patents For Land In The Military Tract'...it cites:
Patentees' Names - Babbet, Reuben, dead.....
Patent to whom delivered - To Richard Edwards, Administrator

I don't know why the name is spelled both ways in this book.

Note: The Balloting Book Cites The Surname Spelled "BUNDGE"
Below Is A Message From Mick Burdge Indicating That The Correct Spelling May be "BURGE" or "BURDGE"

Your page says:
Bundge Michael Cato 22 Ira
Actually, Michael's name was BURDGE.

The 1841 Pensioners List, New York State - Excerpts, pg 273:
Michael Burdge, b. ca 1764; in 1835, living in Cayuga Co

The History of Cayuga County 1789-1879, by Elliot Storke, pg 274:
Town of Ira
In 1802 the settlements were augmented by Daniel Parker, from Marcellus; John C. Barnes and his sons, from Sempronius; Edward Wood, from Sennett; and Rev. Michael Burge. Parker settled on lot 69, where Abiah Cook now lives, his farm extending to the south line of the town. In his log house much of the business of the town was transacted at an early day. He died on the old homestead, which is still held by the family, his daughter being Abiah Cook's mother. Barnes settled on lot 70, on the farm now owned by Eleazer F. Jaynes, where he died about 1837. His sons were Amos, John, Luther, Zadoc and Silas, all of whom are dead. The later two died during the epidemic of 1811. Silas settled on the same lot with his father, and Zadoc on lot 83, on the west part of Isaac R. Merritt's farm. The death of the wife of Silas Barnes, in 1802, was the first in the town. Norton C. Barnes, a son of Luther, is living in Cato. Wood settled on lot 89. Burge drew lot 22 as a soldier's claim and settled on it. He was great-grandfather of David H. Marvin, who now resides on lot 24.
