  While 
  this 
  large 
  country 
  has 
  many 
  Indian 
  names 
  of 
  streams, 
  it 
  

   has 
  few 
  of 
  Indian 
  villages, 
  as 
  the 
  Oneidas 
  had 
  none 
  there 
  for 
  a 
  

   long 
  time; 
  though 
  their 
  reputed 
  territorial 
  limits 
  were 
  at 
  Little 
  Falls. 
  

   In 
  fact 
  their 
  villages 
  were 
  all 
  in 
  Madison 
  county 
  till 
  they 
  placed 
  

   the 
  Tuscaroras 
  there, 
  and 
  for 
  the 
  most 
  part 
  in 
  the 
  drainage 
  of 
  

   Oneida 
  creek. 
  

  

  ONONDAGA

  Am-boy 
  is 
  an 
  introduced 
  Algonquin 
  name, 
  applied 
  to 
  a 
  hamlet 
  on 
  

   Ninemile 
  creek. 
  According 
  to 
  Heckewelder 
  it 
  is 
  derived 
  from 
  

   Em-bo'-li, 
  a 
  place 
  resembling 
  a 
  bowl 
  or 
  bottle, 
  and 
  properly 
  belong- 
  

   ing 
  to 
  a 
  bay 
  or 
  pond. 
  

  

  An-non-i-o-gre 
  may 
  be 
  an 
  error 
  in 
  transcribing, 
  or 
  it 
  may 
  have 
  

   been 
  a 
  small 
  village 
  between 
  Limestone 
  and 
  Butternut 
  creeks. 
  

   Father 
  Lamberville 
  dated 
  a 
  letter 
  at 
  this 
  place 
  in 
  1686, 
  he 
  being- 
  

   there 
  alone. 
  It 
  gave 
  news 
  from 
  Onondaga 
  about 
  Oswego 
  Falls, 
  

   etc. 
  Onondaga 
  had 
  recently 
  been 
  removed 
  to 
  Butternut 
  creek, 
  and 
  

   it 
  is 
  conceivable 
  that 
  that 
  place 
  may 
  have 
  been 
  meant. 
  

  

  Ca-hung-hage 
  is 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Oneida 
  lake 
  on 
  a 
  map 
  in 
  the 
  Secre- 
  

   tary 
  of 
  State's 
  office. 
  

  

  Caugh-de-noy' 
  is 
  from 
  T'kah-koon-goon-da-nah'-yea, 
  where 
  the 
  

   eel 
  is 
  lying 
  down. 
  It 
  is 
  still 
  a 
  fine 
  eel 
  fishery. 
  Ouaquendenalough 
  

   is 
  the 
  same 
  place 
  on 
  Sauthier's 
  map, 
  suggesting 
  the 
  same 
  word, 
  

   but 
  a 
  different 
  interpretation 
  has 
  been 
  given 
  this. 
  It 
  was 
  an 
  Onon- 
  

   daga 
  fishing 
  place 
  in 
  1753, 
  but 
  the 
  Oneidas 
  claimed 
  rights 
  there 
  at 
  

   a 
  later 
  day. 
  

  

  Chit-te-nan'-go 
  creek, 
  on 
  the 
  northeast 
  line 
  of 
  the 
  county, 
  has 
  

   been 
  already 
  noticed, 
  and 
  was 
  also 
  called 
  Canaseraga 
  and 
  

   Tuscarora. 
  

  

  De-a-o'-no-he, 
  where 
  the 
  creek 
  suddenly 
  rises, 
  is 
  Limestone 
  

   creek 
  at 
  Manlius. 
  Clark 
  said 
  : 
  " 
  Limestone 
  creek 
  passing 
  through 
  

   Manlius 
  — 
  Indian 
  name, 
  Te-a-une-nogh-he 
  — 
  the 
  angry 
  stream 
  or 
  

   Mad 
  creek, 
  otherwise, 
  a 
  stream 
  that 
  rises 
  suddenly, 
  overflowing 
  the 
  

   country 
  through 
  which 
  it 
  passes." 
  The 
  name 
  is 
  quite 
  appropriate. 
  

  

  De-is-wa-ga'-ha, 
  place 
  of 
  many 
  ribs, 
  is 
  Morgan's 
  name 
  for 
  the 
  

   town 
  of 
  Pompey. 
  In 
  the 
  11 
  names 
  following 
  the 
  first 
  form 
  of 
  each 
  

   is 
  Morgan's. 
  

  

  De-o'-nake-ha'-e, 
  oily 
  water, 
  is 
  given 
  by 
  him 
  as 
  Oil 
  creek 
  in 
  this 
  

   county. 
  I 
  know 
  of 
  no 
  such 
  stream, 
  nor 
  does 
  it 
  appear 
  on 
  his 
  map.
