ABORIGINAL OCCUPATION OF NEW YORK 125 
Many small sites have been omitted, others are not distinctly 
known at present. Clinton said there were 80 cemeteries in Pom- 
pey. Clark was much more moderate saying, ‘“ These places of 
defence and burial were very numerous in the township of Pompey. 
There are not less than 15 which have been pointed out to us and 
which we have visited. They are scattered through several of the 
neighboring towns.” Nearly all of these are of the historic period, 
Pompey being the early home of the Onondagas till after 1700. 
Most of the sites in this county were described by the writer in Onon- 
daga’s centenmal. 
Ontario county. When first known the Senecas lived entirely 
in what is now known as Ontario county and in a small part of 
Monroe county, occupying several villages and having two con- 
spicuous divisions. Tradition points to Yates county for their 
origin and it is probable that forts in that direction may have been 
occupied by part of the nation. 
One of the most important local maps yet issued is that prepared 
by Gen. J. S. Clark, whose painstaking work is well known. It 
will be found in the Early chapters of Seneca history, by Rev. Charles 
Hawley, D. D. It gives the Seneca castles and mission sites from 
1650 to 1750, and may be briefly summarized. In Mendon are 
placed Sonnontouan of 1669, and southwest of this Totiacton. of 
1687, both near the west line of the town. In Avon is Duy-do-o-sot 
on the east line, and Gah-nyuh-sas on the south. Gandachioragou 
is at Lima, and two villages appear in the northwest corner of the 
town. Another is toward the south line. Two contiguous villages 
are near the north line of Livonia. The village in West Bloomfield 
is southwest of the present village, and in thus locating it at first 
the writer followed Clark. South of Victor village is Gandagaro 
of 1687, and just west of it the small fort of the same year. Gan- 
dougarae of 1657 is on the north line of East Bloomfield, and 
another village is in the center of the town. Honeoye of 1779 
is at the foot of that lake, and in the north part of Bristol are the 
burning springs visited by La Salle in 1669. Kanandaigua of 1779 
is southwest of the present village. Another is northeast of this, 
another on the west line of the town, and a fourth near the north 
line. Onahee of 1700 is near the west line of Hopewell, with
