26 A circular mound of black earth and cinders once stood a few 
rods east of the Havens’s tavern, on the road from Dansville to 
Groveland. The earth was scraped into a deep pit near by.—Doty, 
p. 76 
27 Another similar but smaller mound was on the road between 
Dansville and Scottsburg in Sparta.—Doty, p. 77 
_ 28 The remainder are reported by Mr Crofoot, three being on the 
east side of Canaseraga creek. One of seven acres is five and a 
half miles from the town line of Groveland, measured along the 
creek, and seems very old. Fragments of worked steatite are found 
here. 
29 Close to the creek and two and one half miles south of the 
last is a site of half an acre, and 2 miles farther is another of four 
acres. hi 
30 A mile south of the Groveland station of the Delaware, Lack- 
awanna and Western railroad is a site of 15 acres, on both sides of a 
ravine, with early implements, including steatite. 
31 The remaining sites are on the Craig Colony lands, near Son- 
year station: they were reported by Mr Crofoot. Here he places 
Sonoyawa, on the west side of Kishaqua creek, and near the Erie 
railroad station. The relics are early and the ashes deep. The 
Senecas camped there recently, which may account for some modern 
articles. The site contains more than 20 acres. The bluff above 
the new laundry building was occupied for summer camps, and 
another camp was at the new industrial building. Flint implements 
occurred from the old sawmill to the railroad station.

His is our first account of their town. They received the Tuscaroras 
into their ample domain early in the 18th century. David Zeis- 
berger gave the names of several Tuscarora villages on the main 
trail, one of which has survived.
