  " 
  Te-u-ung-hu-ka 
  — 
  meeting 
  of 
  waters 
  or 
  where 
  two 
  rivers 
  meet," 
  

   is 
  Clark's 
  name 
  for 
  Three 
  River 
  point. 
  A. 
  Cusick 
  gave 
  this 
  as 
  Teu- 
  

   tune-hoo'-kah, 
  where 
  the 
  river 
  forks. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  variant 
  of 
  Tjoga. 
  

  

  Te-was'-koo-we-goo'-na, 
  long, 
  or 
  rather 
  big 
  bridge, 
  this 
  being 
  

   more 
  literal. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  modern 
  name 
  for 
  Brewerton. 
  

  

  Te-yo-wis'-o-don, 
  a 
  place 
  on 
  the 
  river 
  west 
  of 
  Brewerton, 
  men- 
  

   tioned 
  in 
  1788, 
  was 
  defined 
  by 
  A. 
  Cusick 
  as 
  ice 
  hanging 
  from 
  the 
  

   trees. 
  

  

  In 
  1747 
  the 
  French 
  were 
  informed 
  that 
  there 
  were 
  " 
  many 
  Dutch 
  

   and 
  Palatine 
  traders 
  at 
  the 
  place 
  called 
  Theyaoguin, 
  who 
  were 
  pre- 
  

   paring 
  to 
  come 
  and 
  do 
  a 
  considerable 
  trade 
  at 
  Choueguin." 
  E. 
  B. 
  

   O'Callaghan 
  thought 
  this 
  the 
  portage 
  at 
  Rome, 
  N. 
  Y., 
  but 
  the 
  name 
  

   suggests 
  Oneida 
  lake 
  and 
  Brewerton. 
  Theyaoguin, 
  white 
  head, 
  

   was 
  a 
  name 
  given 
  to 
  King 
  Hendrick, 
  but 
  here 
  it 
  may 
  suggest 
  the 
  

   eagles 
  so 
  common 
  on 
  the 
  lake. 
  

  

  Ti-oc'-ton 
  is 
  Cross 
  lake 
  on 
  the 
  map 
  of 
  Charlevoix. 
  This 
  and 
  the 
  

   next 
  may 
  be 
  a 
  contraction 
  of 
  Tionihhohactong, 
  at 
  the 
  bend 
  of 
  the 
  

   river. 
  Compare 
  Totiakton, 
  the 
  Seneca 
  town, 
  with 
  this, 
  and 
  it 
  seems 
  

   certain. 
  

  

  In 
  1750 
  the 
  Moravians 
  mentioned 
  that 
  the 
  Seneca 
  river 
  flowed 
  

   through 
  Lake 
  Tionctong 
  or 
  Tionctora, 
  being 
  Cross 
  lake. 
  

  

  Tis-tis 
  was 
  a 
  name 
  for 
  Ninemile 
  creek, 
  mentioned 
  by 
  Cammer- 
  

   hoff 
  in 
  1750, 
  and 
  perhaps 
  named 
  from 
  Otisco 
  lake. 
  Near 
  it 
  was 
  a 
  

   place 
  they 
  called 
  the 
  French 
  Camp, 
  finding 
  paintings 
  on 
  the 
  trees 
  

   there 
  made 
  by 
  Canadian 
  Indians.

  T'kah-skwi-ut'-ke, 
  place 
  where

  Perhaps 
  the 
  

   high 
  brick 
  chimneys 
  of 
  the 
  salt 
  works 
  at 
  Liverpool 
  were 
  intended, 
  

   the 
  name 
  belonging 
  there. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  Seneca 
  word, 
  sometimes 
  short- 
  

   ened 
  by 
  dropping 
  Te 
  from 
  the 
  prefix. 
  

  

  T'kah-sent'-tah, 
  the 
  tree 
  that 
  hangs
