3 There was a village near the Narrows of Black lake, and on a 
hill east of Edwardsville. It was half a mile long and had the usual 
relics—Hough, p. 27 _ 
4 There were obscure and perhaps recent paintings on the shores 
of Black lake between Hammond and the Narrows. Similar 
pictures occur on the Canada side of the St Lawrence.—Hough, 
p. 26 
5 Father Picquet founded the mission of La Presentation on the 
site of Ogdensburg. Many Onondagas and Cayugas went there. 
The fort became a thorn to the colony of New York. Sir Wil- 
liam Johnson said that the Oswegatchies were mostly Onondagas 
in 1763. These were at La Galette or Indian Point three miles 
below Ogdensburg. 
6 The road passes through a semicircular work on B. Pope’s land 
in Oswegatchie. This is on lot 20 near Ogdensburg. Contrary to 
custom the ditch was on the inside—Hough, p. 22. This is shown 
in fig. 70. 
7 Fred Howlett found Indian relics on the shore of Cran- 
berry lake in 1802. 
8 There are several sites with fireplaces in Macomb not described 
by Hough. Some forts he includes in his history and gives two 
plans in the regents report for 1850. One is on the farm of William 
Houghton and is north of the road near the east bank of Birch 
creek. He called it semicircular, with the ends of the bank resting 
on the creek. His plan in fig. 72 is very different. The area was 
one and one half acres, with pottery, steatite beads and stone imple- 
ments. The northern counties are remarkable for these beads.— 
Hough, p. 19 
g There was a semicircular work on a hill not far from this. It 
was credited to Capt. Washburn’s farm in Gouverneur before the 
change in town lines. The account of rude sculpture is in- 
correct.—Hough, p. 19-20 
10 Half a mile northeast of no. 8 was a work on the land of W. P. 
Houghton and J. Sweet. It was irregularly oval and reached a 
stream. Some ash-beds were 5 feet deep. A village site was near.
