ABORIGINAL OCCUPATION OF iNtW YORK 129 



19 Five miles northwest of Geneva was a stockade on Fort hill. 

 This was not far from a hill on which was an earthwork. It was a 

 long parallelogram through which the road ran, on one side of 

 which the post holes remained. There were caches and early 

 relics. — Squier, p. 87, 88, pi. 13, no. 2. His plan is given in fig. 68. 



20 The Seneca castle of Ganundesaga was burned in 1779. The 

 fort was built by Sir William Johnson and had modern features. 

 The site and cemetery are carefully preserved one and one half miles 

 northwest of Geneva. Squier's plan is given in fig. 69. Mr Con- 

 over thought the people of Canagora moved to White springs and 

 thence to Kanadesaga in 1732. 



21 There was an earthwork two miles beyond the last or three 

 and one half miles northwest of Geneva, east of the Castle road. 

 It was 800 feet long and an early site on high ground. — Squier, p. 55, 

 pi. 7, no. I. Squier's plan is given in fig. 79. There are graves 

 in the southern part. 



22 A small cemetery was opened near Melvin Hill in 1896. The 

 heads of skeletons were to the west. 



23 Among the pine barrens on Mr Swift's farm three miles north 

 of Geneva is a small site with early relics. Dr'W. G. Hinsdale re- 

 ported this and some of the following sites. There is a scattered 

 site with early relics on the farm of John Laws on the county Hne 

 north of the Waterloo road. 



24 In Geneva, on the old De Zeng place west of Main street, 

 were many early reHcs and also camps near the south end of Main 

 street on the south side of Glass Factory bay. 



25 Hon. George S. Conover reported a group of recent sites on 

 Burrell creek, which are here placed under one number. The creek 

 is very crooked and the lots are not in regular order. There was an 

 orchard and a small recent cemetery on lot 36, Seneca east of the 

 creek on the Rupert farm. A mile east of this and south of the 

 creek was a recent village and cemetery on the old Wheadon farm 

 on lot 12. Near the north line of lot 36 east of the creek was an 

 orchard with a recent cemetery and fireplaces. A recent cemetery 

 without relics and with longitudinal burial was on the Rippey farm, 

 lot 9, south of the. creek. A trail from the southeast came to the 

 center of the old Brother farm on which there was a village. It
