https://www.crookedlakereview.com/articles/101_135/132summer2004/132shilling1.html Geneseo, another village gem in Genesee Country, dates back to the Treaty of Big Tree in 1797. The village’s Iroquois name translates as “pleasant or beautiful valley.” On a 1768 map the Genesee River is labeled “Casconchiagon” or Little Seneca River. However, it may also have been derived from “Ge-nish-a-au” (a clear and shining place), which the early white settlers translated into “Genesee.”
Inscription content: Lettered with title and “Perpendicular height of the Fall 75 feet”. With “Morris sculpsit / Drawn on the spot by Thos Davies Capt. Lieut. of the Royal Regt. of Artillery”
Based upon resources, I personally believe these maybe the Lower and or Middle falls of the Genesee in Rochester.
