TUCKASEEGEE TUEADAS80 



[b. a. k. 



and tockaawgh. The Virginian tocka- 

 whonghe, as the cognate Delaware pHuck- 

 queu and the Cree jtiUikxcow indicate, sig- 

 nifies 'it is globular,' and was a general 

 term applied to bulbous roots used by 

 the Indians of this region for food pur- 

 poses. According to Bartlett (Diet. 

 Americanisms, 722, 1877), "the term 

 tuckahoe is often applied to an inhabit- 

 ant of Lower Virginia, and to the poor 

 land in that portion of the state." In 

 some parts of the South tuckahoe means 

 'poor white.' (a. f. c.) 



Tuckaseegee {TslksVtsl, or, in dialectic 

 form, Ti(ksi^tsl, of unknown meaning). 

 The name of two former Cherokee set- 

 tlements: (1) about the junction of the 

 two forks of Tuckasegee r., above Web- 

 ster, Jackson co., N. C. (not to be con- 

 founded with Tikwalitsi, q. v.) ; (2) on a 

 branch of Brasstown cr. of Hiwassee r., 

 in Towns co., Ga. (j. m.)

Tuckernnck. A word used in some 

 parts of s. E. Massachusetts in the sense 

 of picnic: from the name of an island off 

 Nantucket, probably from petukinnak, 

 'round island' (Gerard). The name 

 seems to have been given the island in 

 reference to its shape. 



Tucsani. A rancheria, probably of the 

 Maricopa, on the Rio Gila, Ariz., vis- 

 ited by Kino and Mange in 1699. Not 

 to be confounded with Tucson or Tuso- 

 nimo. See Upasoitac.

Tucson (Papago: Tki-uk-so-on^ , 'black 

 base,' in allusion to a dark volcanic stra- 

 tum in an adjacent mountain ). A former 

 rancheria, probably of mixed Papago, 

 Sobaipuri, and Pima, on the site of the 

 present city of the same name in Arizona. 

 Much misunderstanding has arisen re- 

 specting the establishment of the settle- 

 ment, which, as an Indian town, was 

 doubtless prehistoric. It was first men- 

 tioned by the Jesuit Father Kino, in 1699, 

 under the name San Agustin, a name 

 transferred to the Spanish presidio ( Pre- 

 sidio de San Agustin del Tuquison) estab- 

 lished there in 1776 on its removal from 

 Tubac; and, to distinguish the near-by 

 Indian village, the latter was called San 

 Agustin del Pueblito de Tucson. The na- 

 tive population in 1760-67 was 331, and 

 200 families were settled there in 1772; 

 but two years later, when visited by Anza, 

 it contained only 80 families of so-called 



"Pimas." Tucson remained a military 

 outpost of Mexico until 1853, when it was 

 taken possession of by the IJnited States 

 as a part of the Gadsden purchase. In 

 1848 its population was 760, increased in 

 December of that year by refugees from 

 Tubac and Tumacacori on account of 

 Apache troubles. Tucson was the capital 

 of Arizona from 1867 to 1877. See Ban-
