Wow! Thanks for posts 11 and 12! That pretty much confirms what I’ve always suspected. I’ll have to see if I can get a copy of that book—Pioneer History of the Holland Purchase of Western New York”

My family has always been interested in stuff like that.

You are most welcome. It's completely fascinating to me as well. You should read the whole first chapter of that book I linked. There's a ton more there. Also, here's something I recently came across. It's an ancient paved road, now underwater in Wisconsin. Amazing stuff. Here's some pics and a link.
