Genesee and east of the latter. In old maps and journals it appears 

 as Chenussio and Zonnesschio, and was the home of the trouble- 

 some chief Gaustarax. — Doty, p. 132 



19 F. H. Crofoot, of Sonyea, says the old Seneca council-house 

 was on the east side of the river, half a mile south of Geneseo. A 

 mile farther was a large village at a spring. This had early relics. 

 Half a mile farther, at Fall brook, is a recent site of 30 acres. 



20 On the farm of Mr Brimmer west of the Geneseo and Mount 

 Morris road and 20 rods south of the road to Jones's bridge is an 

 inclosure of two acres. — Doty, p. yy. , Two parallel banks across a 

 ridge between two ravines two and one half miles south of Geneseo 

 and 60 or 70 rods west of the Mount Morris road leading to Jones's 

 bridge across the Genesee. — Reynolds, p. 515. Apparently the same. 

 There are no relics. The site at the mouth of Canaseraga creek 

 F. H. Crofoot describes as the largest but one near the Genesee 

 river. It has a frontage of half a mile on the creek and river, and 

 extends back 50 rods. The relics are of a recent nature. A mile 

 south of this and on the east bank of the creek is a similar site of 

 about five acres. Still another is a mile farther south, on the same 

 side with an area of six to eight acres.

 p. 435. A site of 10 acres, one and one half miles south of Fall 

 brook, has both early and recent relics^ and some pieces of steatite 

 vessels. 



22 Squakie Hill is on the west side of the river opposite Mount 

 Morris, and there was a council house there. Also a cemetery. — 

 Doty, p. 89. " The White Woman's spring " was unearthed there 

 Aug. 18, 1898. The stone which covered it had many figures on it. 

 This is near White's canning factory. 



23 At Mount Morris an old mound was opened in 1835^ which 

 contained skeletons and early stone and copper articles. Some were 

 of polished slate. — Barber, p. 248. Doty however says it was re- 

 moved in 1820 and was on the site of Gen. Mills's residence. It was 

 100 feet in diameter and 8 or 10 feet high. Skeletons, arrowheads, 

 brass kettles and knives were found. The place was not called 

 Sonojowauga after the chief but from a large brass kettle used in
