General
• [excerpts] The first settlement of the present town of Camillus was made four years before the territory became an integral part of Onondaga county. An Indian trail or two threaded the gloomy wilderness and afforded the primitive means of ingress and egress to and from its territory, but the dense forests which canopied every rod of this section possessed attractions only for the bold and sturdy pioneers a full century ago. Over this trail a party of emigrants under the first General Wadswroth attempted the construction of a public highway about 1791. It is believed that this route nearly or quite conformed with what became known as the old Genesee turnpike.950
The first white settler in Camillus was Capt. Isaac Lindsay, who arrived about 1791, and who was soon followed by his brothers James, William and Elijah.950
