NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 



is probably to a site two miles northeast examined by the writer 

 in 1892. It is northeast of Mr Ellenwood's house and has abund- 

 ant modern relics but no brown pottery. Skeletons are rarely 

 found but it seems a long peopled and rather recent village. A 

 little south is the Hog's Back where some have located a stockade^ 

 perhaps doubtfully. Half a mile farther south are old corn hills 

 in Mrs Cummings's \voods. 



21 There were Indian cornfields near Madison lake in Madison, 

 and an Indian opening in the same town. — Hammond, p\ 602 



22 Woodman's lake and Leland's ponds belonged to the Oneida 

 fisheries when their villages were near. These are in the pine woods 

 in Eaton. — Hammond, p. 281 



23 Many relics have been found at Earlville and Pooiville. — 

 Hammond, p. 431 



24 The Windfall party built a church in Lenox, three miles south 

 of Oneida Castle on the road to Knoxville. — Hammond, p. 114. 

 St Peter's church also stood on a hill in Vernon, southeast of the 

 butternut orchard near Oneida Castle. A cemetery was opened 

 west of the West Shore railroad depot, where the head of each 

 skeleton rested on a modern brick. 



25 In 1794 the Christian party were at the foot of Stockbridge 

 hill near the Five Chimneys tavern. A few Oneidas remain. 



26 At one time 40 families lived near Hatch's lake and swamp 

 in the southwest corner of Eaton. — Hammond, p. 293 



27 Two miles below Hamilton was a recent camping ground. — 

 Hammond, p. 414 



28 As late as 1810 some Oneidas lived at Canastota. Some 

 mounds were reported at Owen's point, Chittenango creek. 



Monroe county. Mr George H. Harris has given an excellent 

 account of the sites and trails of Monroe county in the first 15 

 chapters of the Semi-centennial history of Rochester, 1884. Before 

 his death these were issued separately, and entitled the Aboriginal 

 occupation of the lower Genesee country. He spared no pains to 

 make this full and accurate. Mr Squier also did some good work 

 there.
