Ironically, there was a house in *my* tiny little town in upstate NY
(just about square dead middle of the state), CLAYVILLE, NY that was
said to be used for the Underground Railroad as well! It was quite a
large house with a large porch from which Henry Clay was supposed to
have spoken in the early 1800's (hence changing the town's name from
"Paris Furnace" to "Clayville" -- musta been one heck of a speech!!!)
Anyway, if you find a reference, or can find what other stops might
have connected the Clayville "stop" to the Almond "stop"I would
very much appreciate having that information.
Thanks!
