ri PAINTED POST. Though called
the painted post, it had no paint or
marks upon It and lookedlike q simple
piece Of weather beaten oak. II stood
on the bank of the Conhocton river by
the side of the trail to Tioga point.
There was at that time an important
village of Seneca Indians near the juno
ton of the Conhocton, Canisteo and Tioga
rivers, which form the Chemung, and
some Of them had been among those de-
feated by Sullivan at Newtown in l779.
The Seneca chief Cornplanter many
years afterward said the post was erected
to mark the grave of q great chief who
had been wounded in that battles and who
died on the retreat up the CONNECTION,
and that it got its name from having
been stained with strawberry juice, but
Cornplanter would not give the name or
tribe Of this great chief. A neighbour
hood legend says that 1t was Captain
ROLAND Montour, a half breed, but he is
known to have been alive after the post
was erected.
In the beginning of the present CEN
fury the post was dug up and carried off
by curiosity hunters. 1t was afterward
returned, but In the meantime the set
tiers had erected anew one. This lasted
90 years or more, but was gradually
Clipped to pieces by relic seekers and
had to be replaced by the present post,
which stands a few rods from the site OF
the original at the southeast corner OF
the crossroads of the village. 1t il
