ABORIGINAL OCCUPATION OF NEW YORK 155 
3 In his History of Cortland, Mr Goodwin said there was a small 
village at the mouth of Taghkanic creek which escaped the atten- 
tion of Sullivan’s men and also one six miles southwest near Water- 
burg. 
4 A fort and cemetery were reported by Daniel Trowbridge in 
Ulysses half a mile from Waterburg. There was a bank and three 
rows of palisades. The relics were early Iroquoian—Smuthsonian 
report, 1864. This was half a mile west of Waterburg the bank 
being on the north side of the road. The cemetery was on the 
south side. A skeleton was dug up a mile east of Waterburg.— 
Child. Directory, 1868-69. It is in the west part of Tompkins 
county half a mile east of the county line and a mile northeast of 
Perry City on the farms of Messrs Hart and Sherwood. The road 
passes through it—Amer. ant. 1897. - Fig: 81 is F. E. Her- 
rick’s plan in that paper. It is singular in its combination of a 
wall and lines of palisades and seems to be about 500 by 350 feet. 
5 A. F. Barrott reported another fort on a bluff on Parker 
Wixom’s land, with a wall crossing the bluff east and west. This 
was nearly three miles southeast of the last. 
6 Another fort was two miles south of no. 4, east of the creek 
and opposite Caleb Wixom’s house. Mr Barrott reported this as 
circular but with a prolongation of the wall 15 rods southerly from 
the south gate. It is on a bluff. Mr Herrick described it as an 
immense early village. Besides no. 4, Mr Trowbridge spoke of 
three other forts within three miles, which he did not describe.. One 
is unnoticed here. Fig. 86 is from a sketch by Mr Barrott. 
7 Coreorgonel was a small village burned in 1779, west of Cayuga 
inlet on high ground and two miles south of Ithaca—Sullivan, p. 
77. There are recent burial places at Coreorgonel and also north 
of Buttermilk falls and on the bluff near Dr Parker’s, East hill. 
Dudley. “ Where Ithaca now stands were found cleared fields 
which had previously been cultivated by the Indians.”—French, p: 
655. The Tedarighroones were adopted by the Cayugas in 1753 
and settled at the head of Cayuga lake which thence had the name 
of Totieronno: It has been thought that Poney Hollow was a 
contraction from the Saponies who may have lived there.
