  Yet-gen-es-young-gu-to 
  creek, 
  flowing 
  into 
  the 
  Allegany 
  on 
  a 
  

   map 
  of 
  1798, 
  may 
  be 
  derived 
  from 
  one 
  of 
  Zeisberger's 
  names. 
  

  

  Although 
  the 
  Dela 
  wares 
  reached 
  this 
  important 
  region 
  before 
  

   the 
  middle 
  of 
  the 
  18th 
  century 
  they 
  left 
  few 
  surviving 
  names 
  on 
  

   or 
  near 
  the 
  Allegany 
  river. 
  The 
  Senecas 
  built 
  some 
  villages, 
  and 
  

   were 
  rapidly 
  spreading 
  westward 
  at 
  that 
  time. 
  The 
  wars 
  which 
  

   soon 
  followed 
  checked 
  their 
  advance, 
  but 
  their 
  most 
  important 
  

   reservations 
  and 
  villages 
  are 
  still 
  on 
  the 
  Allegany 
  river 
  and 
  Cat- 
  

   taraugus 
  creek.
