    Comments, Additional Information, References

    Regarding the smokehouse in Greigsville (owned by Coker c. 1961), Arthur Donnan¹ writes that it was "On Rt. 63 just east of Greigsville (1/2 mile). First place east of Methodist Church, east of Carl Coker dwelling." According to this, the smokehouse would have been at 2651 Genesee St./Rt. 63, today's Holy Ground Ministries being located in the former Methodist Church. I see no evidence of the smokehouse today from aerial views. (See survey sheet below.) Noted "Gone 1996" by Pat Schaap² on another list. Holly Watson, Deputy Livingston County Historian, email 11/30/2020.

    ¹ Arthur Donnan, former York Town Historian, is the grandson of the original property owner John A. Donnon.
