120 NEW YORK STATE MUSEUM 



Stream on L. Keith's farm. Relics of an early character occur at 

 intervals all along this shore. 



48 The French fort and mission of 1656 were on lot 106 north 

 of the railroad bridge in Salina. Early and recent rehcs are found 

 there. The plan of the fort in Clark's Onondaga, however, is of 

 that erected by Frontenac in 1696. The plan was made by Mr 

 Geddes in 1797. Clark erroneously said that some of the pickets 

 remained in 1794, adding that the work embraced half an acre. 

 Rev. J. W. Adams said that traces of this fort could still be seen 

 in 1834, and that Dr Holbrbok, a settler of 1795, told him that there 

 was a picket of four acres, with a fort of one, having a blockhouse 

 in the northeast corner, and a bastion at one angle. It is probable 

 all these accounts are somewhat confused with the fort of 1756, 

 built at Onondaga Valley by Sir William Johnson. Frontenac's 

 fort seems to have been built on the old mission site. Around the 

 latter some Onondagas lived, 



49 Early relics have been found all along the line of salt vats on 

 the bluff. Clark reported a large cemetery at Green point but 

 gave no details. It was at the base of the bluff. 



50 North of the marsh and half a mile east of the lake is a 

 recent camp or hamlet. 



51 There were no villages in Skaneateles but small camps and 

 occasional relics appear, some being of early types. One camp 

 was on the farm of Henry Moses, lot 20. 



52 Relics were frequent on R. Curtis's farm, lot 22. 



53 There was quite a camp on the east side of a stream and 

 south of the direct road to Marcellus on lot 29. Early relics. A 

 few articles have been found near Skaneateles village and Mandana. 



54 20 skeletons were taken out of a gravel bed in 1878 on lot 

 42, De Witt now East Syracuse. Early relics were found. 



55 The Deep Spring of early note is on the couaty line east of 

 Fayetteville. Tradition places a stockade there but there are no 

 traces of permanent occupation. Arrowheads and recent rehcs 

 were once frequent. 



56 A hamlet on the Mason farm, lot 68 Spafford was about a 

 mile east of Five Mile point on Skaneateles lake. The relics there 

 and near by are early.
