OK , so the US20 story at least checks out for the western leg of the old road. US20 goes right through Skaneateles and runs within a mile or so of Half Acre. I know Montezuma Swamp was a stumbling block in terms of going west with steep drumlins to the north. The current railroad bed probably is close to where the toll bridges that you describe were.

A problem finally solved by the Mount Morris Dam in the 1950's.
