Sullivan's expedition Gen. J. S. Clark speaks of “Cayuga Castle, 
an Indian town containing 15 very large houses of squared logs, 
on the south line of Springport . . . on the north bank of 
Great Gully brook, and from one to two miles from the lake.” 
18 A site on lot 114 Ledyard is supposed to be Upper Cayuga. 
There are fireplaces and a few graves with European relics and 
many copper fish hooks. Gen. Clark speaks of “ Upper Cayuga, 
an Indian town of 14 very large houses, near the north line of 
Ledyard . . . on the south bank of Great Gully brook and 
as appears on the map between one and two miles from the lake.” 
The distance is greater. 
19 East Cayuga, or Old Town, was a quarter of a mile west 
of Mapleton, on lot 95, Fleming. Area, 10 or 12 acres east of the 
creek. The relics are recent. Clark notes that “ East Cayuga, or 
Old Town, contained 13 houses, in the southeast corner of the town 
of Springport as indicated on the map from three to four miles from 
the lake. A site in the southwest corner of Fleming was a site of 
this town at about this time,” which was 1770.

simple stockade 100 feet long from Payne’s creek on one side to 
a small stream on the other. 
24 Macauley mentioned a similar work near Aurora. It was 
“two miles from the village, in a southwesterly (southeasterly)
