Did the building of the Erie Canal and the national road displace and destroy homes?

Let's first realize that construction of the Erie canal began in 1808 in a very rural upstate NY. Without actual records of land ownership it would be hard to tell if a home or two was displaced. However, many settlers welcomed the canal because of the economic advantage it would bring the region. Most of the area was farms or wilderness and the canal would provide essential transportation and irrigation for the area.
To answer, any home displacement would be considered negligible on a level measurable by today's standards.

How many years were there between the National Road and the Erie Canal?
The National Road was the first major highway in the United States. The initial stage of the project began in 1811; but it took a long period of time to build the road, and the project finally came to an end in 1839. In the midst of the building of the National Road, work began on the Erie Canal, starting in 1817. The canal was opened for traffic in October 1825. Thus, there were six years between when the National Road's construction began and the construction of the Erie Canal was started.
