proceeded on to Conihunto[130] a small Indian village that was, but
was Destroyed by our Detachment last fall, its 14 miles from
Unadilla.[131] A little below this town there is 3 or 4 Islands in the

Susquehanna, it was built on each side of the River with good log
houses with stone chimneys and glass windows, it likewise had a church

saw the Ruins of an Old Fort which formerly was here many years ago.
The Indians abandoned this town last fall when they heard of our
detachment coming to destroy it, they had but just left it when we
came in it, but we did not catch any of them, but burnt their town to
ashes, and the detachment returned. This evening we fired an evening
gun.
