ABORIGINAL PLACK NAMES OF NEW YORK 1 53 



" Te-u-ung-hu-ka — meeting of waters or where two rivers meet," 

 is Clark's name for Three River point. A. Cnsick gave this as Teu- 

 tune-hoo'-kah, where the river forks. It is a variant of Tioga. 



Te-was'-koo-we-goo'-na, long, or rather big bridge, this being 

 more Hteral. It is a modern name for Brewerton. 



Te-yo-wis'-o-don, a place on the river west of Brewerton, men- 

 tioned in 1788, was defined by A. Ciisick as ice hanging from the 

 trees. 



In 1747 the French were informed that there were " many Dutch 

 and Palatine traders at the place called Theyaoguin, who were pre- 

 paring to come and do a considerable trade at Choueguin." E. B. 

 O'Callaghan thought this the.portage at Rome, N. Y., but the name 

 suggests Oneida lake and Brewerton. Theyaoguin, white head, 

 was a name given to King Hendrick, but here it may suggest the 

 eagles so common on the lake. 



Ti-oc'-ton is Cross lake on the map of Charlevoix. This and the 

 next may be a contraction of Tionihhohactong, at the bend of the 

 river. Compare Totiakton, the Sexieca town, with this, and it seems 

 certain. 



In 1750 the Moravians mentioned that the Seneca river flowed 

 through Lake Tionctong or Tionctora, being Cross lake. 



Tis-tis was a name for Ninemile creek, mentioned by Cammer- 

 hoif in 1750, and perhaps named from Otisco lake. Near it was a 

 place they called the French Camp, finding paintings on the trees 

 there made by Canadian Indians. 



T'kah-en-too'-tah, zvhere the pole is raised. South Onondaga. 



T'kah-nah-tah'-kae-ye'-hoo, old village, a place on the east side of 

 the reservation. 



T'kah'-neh-sen-te'-u, stony place, or stones throzvii on the road. 

 A place on the Cardiff road. 



T'kah-skoon-su'-tah, at the falls. Falls on the reservation. 



T'kah-skwi-ut'-ke, place tvhere the stone stands up. Perhaps the 

 high brick chimneys of the salt works at Liverpool were intended, 

 the name belonging there. It is a Seneca word, sometimes short- 

 ened by dropping Te from the prefix. 



T'kah-sent'-tah, the tree that hangs over, or one tree falling into 

 another, is another of Cusick's names for Ninemile creek. 



Tou-en'-ho was an Indian hamlet south of Brewerton in 1688.
