While this large country has many Indian names of streams, it 

 has few of Indian villages, as the Oneidas had none there for a 

 long time, though their reputed territorial limits were at Little Falls. 

 In fact their villages were all in Madison county till they placed 

 the Tuscaroras there, and for the most part in the drainage of 

 Oneida creek. 



ONONDAGA COUNTY 



Am-boy is an introduced Algonquin name, applied to a hamlet on 

 Ninemile creek. According to Heckewelder it is derived from 

 Em-bo'-li, a place resembling a bozvl or bottle, and properly belong- 

 ing to a bay or pond. 



An-non-i-o-gre may be an error in transcribing, or it may have 

 been a small village between Limestone and Butternut creeks. 

 Father Lamberville dated a letter at this place in 1686, he being 

 there alone. It gave news from Onondaga about Oswego Falls, 

 etc. Onondaga had recently been removed to Butternut creek, and 

 it is conceivable that that place may have been meant. 



Ca-hung-hage is the name of Oneida lake on a map in the Secre- 

 tary of State's office. 



Caugh-de-noy' is from T'kah-koon-goon-da-nah'-yea, zvhere the 

 eel is lying dozvn. It is still a fine eel fishery. Quaquendenalough 

 is the same place on Sauthier's map, suggesting the same word, 

 but a different interpretation has been given this. It was an Onon- 

 daga fishing place in*i753, but the Oneidas claimed rights there at 

 a later day. 



Chit-te-nan'-go creek, on the northeast line of the county, has 

 been already noticed, and was also called Canaseraga and 

 Tuscarora. 



De-a-o'-no-he, zuhere the creek suddenly rises, is Limestone 

 creek at Manlius. Clark said : " Limestone creek passing through 

 Manlius — Indian name, Te-a-une-nogh-he — the angry stream or 

 Mad creek, otherwise, a stream that rises suddenly, overflowing the 

 country through which it passes." The name is quite appropriate. 



De-is-wa-ga'-ha, plaee of many ribs, is Morgan's name for the 

 town of Pompey. In the 1 1 names following the first form of each 

 is Morgan's. 



De-o'-nake-ha'-e, oily zvater, is given by him as Oil creek in this 

 county. I know of no such stream, nor does it appear on his map.
