Maps Showing the Location of Canastagione
in 1866 In the 17th century, Roll family progenitor Jan Mangels Roll owned a good portion of New York real estate. His patent was called Canastagione or The Corn Field, in the language of the Mohawk, and was located on the north side of the Mohawk River near its confluence with the Hudson River in Saratoga County, New York. Jan and his family fled after the 1690 massacre to Staten Island in Richmond County and New York County. Later attempts to reclaim the empire failed. Occupation of land was a major part of claiming title to land at that time. New Topographical Atlas of Saratoga County,
