a | Early settlers in central New York most likely traveled there via [[Albany, New York|Albany]]. Albany was a hub of pathways from [[New York City, New York|New York City]], [[Vermont]], [[Connecticut]], [[Massachusetts]], [[Pennsylvania]], and [[Quebec]]. Probably the largest group to settle were New Englanders, many from Vermont. But people from almost every part of the eastern seaboard and Europe also were common in the area. | ||
No complete list of settlers who used the '''Great Genesee Road''' is known to exist. Nevertheless, local and county histories along that trail may reveal pioneer settlers who arrived 1794 to 1850, and therefore who were the most likely candidates to have traveled the Great Genesee Road or Seneca Turnpike. | |||
For partial lists of early settlers who may have used the Great Genesee Road, see histories like: | |||
