Secondary source sindicate that in Spetember of 1797, a stage line
began opperating between Utica dn Geneva along what was then the
Genesee Road, later to become the Seneca Turnpike, and now State
Route 5.

Does anyone know of any accounts, close to the 1797-99 period, that
would record the itinerary of a person using that stage coach? I am
trying to confirm the precise route and schedule.
