The divide between Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties centers this study of Western New York, where the uplands give way to the drainages of Silver Creek and North Branch Conewango Creek. The settlement pattern reflects a deeply rooted agricultural landscape, anchored by small hamlets such as Smith Mills, Nashville, and Wango. These communities are often marked by small family and township burial grounds, including the Balltown Cem and Rugg Town Cem, which offer significant data points for genealogists tracing early residents of the region.
