Schen-e-vus is called Sheniva creek on a map of 1790, and on 

 Sauthier's map it is Shenivas. A Cusick rendered it Se-ha-vus or 

 ^rst hoeing of corn. Halsey thought it the name of an Indian who 

 hved and hunted there. Both may be true. The Rev. Eli Forbes 

 wrote it Schenavies in 1762. 



Sogh-ni-e-ja-di-e was a boranch of the Susquehanna from the east 

 in 1779. A. Cusick defined this he is lying in the sun again. It 

 seems a personal name.

 tract of land south of Otsega and Caniadaraga lakes on the map 

 of the New Hampshire grants. 



To-wa-no-en-da-lough was the first Mohawk village on the
