another village a little farther north. West of Geneva is the Kana- 

 desaga of 1779, with two villages northwest of this. Ganechstage 

 of 1720 is south of Kanadesaga, and to the southwest of this is 

 the Ganechstage of 1760. Gothseunquean of 1779 is on the west 

 bank of Seneca lake. 



1 Irregular work on Boughton hill a mile south of the village 

 of Victor, which was destroyed in 1687 by De Nonville. The small 

 fort of that year was on Fort hill over a mile west. Squier's plan 

 is given in fig. 78, showing a work nearly 1500 feet long with 

 an area of 20 acres. This was Canagora, the St Jacques of the 

 missionaries. Greenhalgh visited it in 1677 and said it was much 

 like Onondaga. The village site is on R. B. Moore's farm, and 

 there is a cemetery less than a mile south of this on the farm of 

 George Ketchum, which has European articles. Turner also men- 

 tions articles at Victor Flats. 



2 Fort hill a mile west of Boughton accurately corresponds with 

 De Nonville's account of the ** picket fort at the top of a little 

 mountain scarped on all sides." 



3 Canaenda was also called Gandougarae or St Michael and 

 was a village of adopted Hurons. Hon. George S. Conover said 

 that it is usually located in East Bloomfield, three and one half 

 miles from Boughton hill near Mud creek, but thought it needed 

 farther investigation. He thought the village was moved into the 

 town of Seneca after 1687 ^^^ placed on Burrell creek about two 

 miles southeast of White springs. W. L. Hildburgh had European 

 relics from the former place. Greenhalgh placed Canaenda four 

 miles south of Boughton hill. 



4 There was a burial place on lot 98, Manchester. 



5 Rev. J. W. Sanborn explored a recent burial mound at Clifton 

 Springs in 1889. 



Irving W. Coates reports an early village site just south of Clif- 

 ton Springs, nearly a mile south of the Canandaigua outlet. It 

 occupied a little over two acres, with fireplaces very numerous and 

 close together. It seems to have been long inhabited and was of 

 early date. There are fragments of decorated pottery, fine celts 

 and arrowheads. Articles of bone have been found, but none of 

 shell.
