 Iroquois had little to do with this county till recent times and the few- 

 sites are of minor importance. Several sites about Richfield Springs 

 are described in ' Richfield Springs and Vicinity,' by W. T. Bailey. 

 An oblong moimd, often visited by the Oneidas, w^as reputed to be 

 the grave of a chief and was in Mr Hopkinson's orchard in that 

 town (Bailey, p. 27). A recent cemetery was on a ridge opposite 

 the lake house (Bailey, p. 37). Three skeletons were found near 

 that house and a cache of flint articles near the lake. Several places 

 on Oak ridge, west of the lake, half a mile from the head, had early 

 articles (Bailey, p. 39). In grading near the bridge east of this 

 ridge skeletons were found with flat stones over the faces (Bailey, 

 p. 40)."
