Po-ney Hollow is supposed to be so called from a Saponey village 

 there. 



Sto'-ke creek was thought to be the present Butternut creek by 

 General Clark. The name may be from atoge, north, but atoka 

 also means cranberries. 



Taug-ha'-nick is locally pronounced Ti-kaw-nik, and is applied 

 to a creek and falls. It has several forms and may be a corruption 

 of an Iroquois name, but seems an Algonquin word from the eastern 

 part of New York. 



Ti-an-on-ti-a-ou was the eastern base of Saxon hill in 1750- 



To-ti-e-ron'-no, where the Tederighroonas lived in 1747, at the 

 head of Cayuga lake. Ronon means people, and the historic account 

 is clear. 



Tschoch'-ni-oke was Taughanick creek in 1750. 



Un-ta-ge-chi-at, a high hill along the foot of which Cammerhofif 

 passed on emerging from the dense forest. It has been defined 

 the hill from which a tine view is had, equivalent to prospect hill. 

 Father Bruyas had the Mohawk word gannontagenhiat, at the end 

 of the mountain, and this may be its equivalent, the view opening 

 when the brow of the hill was reached.

At-kar-kar-ton or Atkankarten, an early name of Esopus creek 

 and Kingston, is said to mean smooth land by French. Ruttenber 

 says that this was not the name of the village, but of the meadow 

 called Great Plot by the Dutch, adding that "At is equivalent to 

 at or by the stream." In an account of the " State of the Churches 

 in New Netherland; anno 1657" [O'Callaghan, 3: 107], a place is 

 described 1' called by the Dutch Esopus or Sypous ; by the Indians 

 Atkarkarton." A hamlet now bears this name. 



Ca-na-se-ne was the Sager's kill. Canasenix creek was the south 

 line of Lockerman's tract and is the same name. It may be from 

 ganscheweu, it roars. 



Clough-ka-wa-ka-no-e was a small creek included in a land sale 

 in 1665, lying west and southwest of Kahankson creek. It has been 

 noticed in Sullivan county, where it may belong.
