"William Martin Beauchamp (March 25, 1830 – 1925) was an American ethnologist and Episcopal clergyman. He published several works on the archeology and ethnology of the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) in New York...From 1865 to 1900, Beauchamp was rector of Grace Episcopal Church in Baldwinsville, N. Y...1884-1910 was archaeologist of New York State Museum... he made valuable archæological contributions from his independent research, particularly concerning the Iroquois Indians. In 1889 the United States Bureau of Ethnology commissioned him to survey the Iroquois territory in New York and Canada, and to prepare a map indicating the location of all the known Indian sites in that region. An enlargement of this map was published in Beauchamp's Aboriginal Occupation of New York (1900)."
