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.
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.

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 .
