While the Native Americans may have gotten the best of one missionary, they did not survive white settlement.
By the late 1780s, tribes had abandoned settlements at Cooperstown and at the huge village at Onoquaga (along both sides of the North Branch well downstream at what are now Afton and Windsor).
For several decades, small groups of Iroquois returned to the Cooperstown area in the summer months to hunt, fish, sell goods to whites, and beg for food.
