26 A circular mound of black earth and cinders once stood a few- 

 rods east of the Havens's tavern, on the road from Dansville to 

 Groveland. The earth was scraped into a deep pit near by. — Doty^

27 Another similar but smaller mound was on the road between 



Dansville and Scottsburg in Sparta. — Doty, p. 'yy 



28 The remainder are reported by Mr Crofoot, three being on the 

 east side of Canaseraga creek. One of seven acres is five and a 

 half miles from the town line of Groveland, measured along the 

 creek, and seems very old. Fragments of w^orked steatite are found 

 here. 



29 Close to the creek and two and one half miles south of the 

 last is a site of half an acre, and 2 miles farther is another of four 

 acres. • 



30 A mile south of the Groveland station of the Delaware, Lack- 

 awanna and Western railroad is a site of 15 acres, on both sides of a 

 ravine, with early implements, including steatite. 



31 The remaining sites are on the Craig Colony lands, near Son- 

 year station: they were reported by Mr Crofoot. Here he places 

 Sonoyawa, on the west side of Kishaqua creek, and near the Erie 

 railroad station. The reUcs are early and the ashes deep. The 

 Senecas camped there recently, w^hich may account for some modern 

 articles. The site contains more than 20 acres. The bluff above 

 the new laundry building was occupied for summer camps, and 

 another camp was at the new industrial building. Flint implements 

 occurred from the old sawmill to the railroad station. 



Madison county. The early homes of the Oneidas were in this 

 county and most of the later ones. They were near Munnsville, and 

 just east of Oneida creek when Van Corlaer visited them in 1634. 

 His is our first account of their town. They received the Tuscaroras 

 into their ample domain early in the i8th century. David Zeis- 

 berger gave the names of several Tuscarora villages on the main 

 trail, one of which has survived.
