found. It was a small village, but the few fireplaces are large and 

 deep. The site is a mile south of the Canandaigua outlet, one- fourth 

 of a mile west of Fall brook. 



59 Skeletons have been exhumed and relics found at Littleville, 

 a hamlet on the creek south of Shortsville. Some of the latter 

 indicate early visitors, and several trails converged at the ford there. 



60 Three-fourths of a mile south of Chapinville, near the creek, 

 was a workshop. Flint chips, unfinished weapons and fine stone 

 articles were once frequent there. Some other reputed Indian sites 

 which he had not personally examined, Mr Coates did not describe. 



61 Small village site reported by J. H. V. Clarke. 



62 Village of Kanadesaga, situated just west of the city of Geneva. 

 This was one of the important Seneca towns burned by General 

 Sullivan in the punitive raid of 1779. Sc^uier, who visited the site 

 in 1840, said that the palisade traces were distinct, due to the fact 

 that the Indians in ceding the lands stipulated that this, their famous 

 town site, should not be used for cultivated ground. Their plea 

 was, '' Here sleep our fathers, and they can not rest well if they 

 hear the plow of the white man above them." When Sullivan 

 destroyed the village it consisted of fifty houses with adjacent fields 

 of corn and large orchards. The raiders destroyed the com, hay 

 and other stored food and cut down the orchards. In robbing the 

 houses they found many trinkets, pelts and other things of value. 

 Near the village was a mound in which the body of a giant Seneca 

 was reputed by tradition to be buried. In the center of the village 

 was a stockade built by Sir William Johnson. Morgan and Squier 

 have written in an interesting manner concerning Ga-nunda-sa-ga 

 and the records of Sullivan's expedition give a contemporary descrip- 

 tion of it. The Rev. Samuel Kirkland spent some time here and 

 had an interesting adventure. It was here that the great 

 Gaiyengwahtoh or Disappearing Smoke lived. 



63 Village site and stockade site 2 miles southwest of Geneva. 



64 Small village site a mile east of Littleville, and southwest of 

 Manchester, on the southern portion of lot 25. Here have been 

 found many beautiful specimens of chalcedony points. Mr Follett 

 says that here in a lump of hard clay found 3 feet below the surface 

 were found five ancient looking and crude chert points. 



65 Camp site, evidently an extensive and permanent one, is situ- 

 ated just one-fourth of a mile north of 64. There is a fine spring 

 here known as *' The Indian spring." Relics of many sorts are 

 found in the adjacent fields, but mostly on the Follett farm. There
