On July 18, 1810 Holland Land Office chief agent Paolo Busti wrote from
Philadelphia to sales agent Joseph Ellicott in Batavia, complaining that
there was no harbor suitable for commerce on company lands bordering on
Lake Ontario. He mentions the Conniangone's outlet. Anyone have any idea
what place he's referring to?
