wood avenue an early town covered all Oak hill. Stone relics 

 were found all the way from the feeder down to Red creek. Indian 

 huts were scattered about the bluff near Franklin and North 

 St Paul streets until 1819. — Harris, p. 39-42

 Rochester was " a semicircular embankment the ends of which 

 extended to the very edge of the immense ravine. . .It had 

 three narrow gateways placed at irregular intervals." — Sqider, p. 58. 

 There was no cemetery and the nearest known west of the river 

 was ,two miles away. — Harris, p. 41 



13 There was a cemetery at the sand cut of the New York Cen- 

 tral railroad east of the Allen's creek embankment. Many skele- 

 tons and recent relics were exhumed in 1876. " Between the ceme- 

 tery and the Pittsford road quantities of stone relics have been 

 found indicating the site of a prehistoric town. West of this is 

 located the great cairn of limestones." — Harris, p. 43. Mr Harris 

 adds that the Senecas used to fish in some large ponds north of 

 Mendon Center and many signs of camps occur along Allen's 

 creek. — Harris, p. 61

 south of Genesee junction near Rochester. Mr Clapp reports a 

 site at West Henrietta, near Red creek. 



15 There was a village at the present East Rush cemetery. — 

 Harris, p. 60. Stone implements occur on the Thomas farm, one 

 and one half miles southwest of East Rush. This is south of

 60. Mr Clapp reports a camp two miles southwest of West Hen- 

 rietta, just east of Sanger creek. There are fine arrowheads, and 

 pottery. Half a mile southeast a large stone was found, laid on 

 a good stone foundation. The stone was 5 by 8 feet across, 

 and a foot thick. It was covered by eight inches of soil. An old 

 camp was half a mile southeast of this. A fine pipe and other 

 reHcs came from a gravel pit half a mile southeast of West Hen-
