Kanagaro. A former Seneca town on 

 Boughton hill, directly s. of Victor, N.Y. 

 For a long period it was the capital of the 



Seneca tribe. Greenhalgh states that in 

 1677 it contained 150 houses, 50 to 60 ft 

 in length, with 13 or 14 fires to the house. 

 Here Greenhalgh saw 9 prisoners (4 men, 

 4 women, and a boy) burned, the torture 

 la.«ting about seven hours. This shows 

 that the Iroquois as well as the Neuters 

 burned their unadopted women prisoners, 

 but the Jesuit Relation for 1641 says the 

 Huron do not burn their women captives. 

 On the approach of Denonville, in 1687, 

 this town was burned by its inhabitants, 

 who, like those of the neighboring Kana- 

 garo, the foreign colony, removed about 

 20 ni. s. E. to Kanadasega, where the for- 

 eign element l)ecame known by the name 

 Seneca. In the early part of the 19th. 

 century the Seneca formed a village ap- 

 proximately on the site of the burned 

 Kanagaro, which they called Gaonsageon 

 ('basswood bark lying around'), refer- 

 ring, it is said, to gutters of this material 

 employed to convey water from a neigh- 

 boring spring. Another settlement ex- 

 isted in 1740 in the vicinity of the old site, 

 which was called Chinoshahgeh.

Kanagaro. A former town belongingto 

 the Seneca, situated at different times at 

 different sites from 1 J to 4 in. s. of Kana- 

 garo, the Seneca capital, and s. e. from 

 Victor, on the e. side of Mud cr., N. Y. 

 According to Greenhalgh it contained 

 about 30 houses in 1677. The inhabitants 

 of this town, according to the Jesuit Re- 

 lation for 1670, were chiefly incorporated 

 captives and their descendants of three 

 tribes, the Onnontioga, the Neuters, and 

 the Hurons. Its situation thus ])laced its 

 inhabitants directly under the eyes of the 

 federal chiefs dwelling in the capital town 

 of Kanagaro. Here in 1656 the Jesuits 

 established the mission of the Tohonta- 

 enrat at Scanonenrat, which surrendered 

 in a body to the Seneca in 1649. On ac- 

 count of these associations the missiona- 

 ries gave it their special attention, with 

 such success that it became known as the 

 Christian town of the Seneca. Like all 

 the principal Seneca towns it was de- 

 stroyed by Denonville in 1687. The in- 

 habitants of the western towns, Totiak- 

 ton and Gandachiragon, removed s. and 

 then w. to Genesee r., where their settle- 

 ments were destroyed by Sullivan in 1 779; 

 those of the eastern towns, Gandagaro
