3 Burial place i mile from Boughton hill on the John Bunce farm. 

 This is directly south and on the east side of the Bloomfield road 

 near the county line. This site was excavated by Frederick Houghton 

 who found more than fifty pits containing human remains and many 

 objects of European manufacture intermixed with articles of native 

 make. 



4 Village site on the farms of Jesse and George Marsh, and a burial 

 site on Ira DeLong and David Thompson's farms. This site is near 

 the northeast corner of East Bloomfield and on lot 13. It is about 

 one-fourth of a mile east of Mud creek and on the eastern slope of 

 a brook running into it. Without doubt it is the site of the Jesuit 

 mission of St Michel, which was occupied mostly by the captive 

 Neuter and Huron converts after the destruction of their nations. 

 In historical accounts the site is known as Gandougarae.

 Mr Houghton has described the site on page 42 of his monograph 

 on the *' Seneca nation, from 1655 to 1687."

 This is on the south side of Cherry street one-half of a mile west of 

 the road from Victor to Holcomb and just south of the Victor 

 township line. It is i^ miles south of Boughton hill and occupies 

 an irregular knoll surrounded on three sides by small streams. Mr 

 Houghton estimates the area as 15 acres. The usual material found 

 on sites of the early historic period are present. Burials were 

 located by Houghton on a knoll on the western edge of the village. 

 They were deep in the clay and sand and sometimes as many as six 

 bodies were found in the burial pits. Houghton records thirty-four 

 graves and describes the site on page 239 of the " Seneca Bulletin."
