stildign could you post a clearer path to "npath"? I tried to find it but it says "the blog does not exist."

I think this is the link he was talking about.

stilldign thanks for the explanation. What do the numbers along the trail mean? The 112m, 113m, etc.

I didn't see anything strange about the "A" in CONYEADICE. I did look at a current map of Hemlock NY and there is a highway (20) that follows the same path as the trail. It is also called Big Tree Road and Main street. Its a big area to search and most of the land around there is private property.

It takes a keen eye to look at my avatar and will see where I live.

I am familiar with the area. I was up there visiting friends about 10 years ago. I don't have any plans on going back but it is a fascinating story.

I live on The Sullivan Trail and have hunted it for 35 years, if you look up( Lossings Field Book of the Revolution vol. 1) you can see that Sullivan left almost all of his cannons at Fort Sullivan in what is now Sayre PA. after the Battle of Newtown, and none of the cannons were taken very far.
So if that web site says they had cannons with them,that is dead wrong,tell me y they had Gold with them to fight, this is just a wild story about the gold.

Who is the Sullivan Trail named after? It's an ancestral question.

 

[digging440yrs]

GENERAL JOHN SULLIVAN, REV. WAR---FAMILY FROM IRELAND, HE WAS BORN IN NEW HAMPSHIRE 1740, DIED 1795---- HIM AND CLINTON TOOK ON A CAMPAIGNE TO DESTROY THE INDIANS AROUND 1778 IN UPSTATE NY---------MANY OF THE INDIANS HAD SIDED WITH THE BRITS AND TORIES

Gen Sullivan lost his baggage in the Chemung River while crossing.

Hey Digging440
There is a story about a hollow mountain in Pa. right across the N.Y. PA. border where they made cannons during the Rev. War with half made cannons and parts for cannons still there.
But i find that hard to believe.
20 years ago i met a guy on the road 1 mile from my house he was a Cornell Profeccer looking for an old French Trading post he had reshearched i have looked for it too and found nothing yet.
I was driving on the Sullivan Trail off RT 17 East of Elmira by the town of Chemung i thought it was a road.. when a guy pulled up behind me and blocked my way...he said i was on private property i told him a ment no harm....so we talked and he told me on his propety there was an old French Trading post and told me a story about a French cannon capped off full on gold...he died soon after meeting him...i don`t know where he got the story from.
With the Seneca Indians here they were a fierce tribe that ruled this area, and the french feared them .
