  Barre's 
  council 
  on 
  this 
  spot. 
  ' 
  Hough 
  placed 
  the 
  name 
  at 
  the 
  mouth 
  

   of 
  Black 
  river, 
  but 
  this 
  is 
  a 
  mistake. 
  

  

  Port 
  Ontario 
  is 
  now 
  at 
  the 
  mouth 
  of 
  Salmon 
  river.

  Five 
  Nations 
  advised 
  the 
  English 
  to 
  have 
  a 
  fort 
  " 
  at 
  

   Sowego, 
  a 
  place 
  a 
  dayes 
  journey 
  from 
  Onondage." 
  Apparently 
  this 
  

   was 
  Oswego, 
  differing 
  little 
  from 
  some 
  early 
  forms.

  the

  fully 
  considered

  Se-u'-ka 
  Kah'-wha-nah'-kee 
  has 
  also 
  been 
  explained. 
  Though 
  

   near 
  the 
  Onondaga 
  shore 
  Frenchman's 
  island 
  belongs 
  to 
  the 
  town 
  

   of 
  Constantia. 
  It 
  was 
  the 
  Seven 
  Mile 
  island 
  of 
  the 
  Revolution. 
  

  

  Se-u'-ka 
  Keh-hu'-wha-tah'-dea 
  is 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Oneida 
  river 
  and 
  

   refers 
  to 
  its 
  connection 
  with 
  the

  now 
  to 
  a 
  great 
  state. 
  

  

  OTSEGO 
  COUNTY 
  

  

  This 
  county 
  belonged 
  to 
  the 
  Oneidas 
  and 
  Mohawks 
  and 
  its 
  names 
  

   are 
  all 
  Iroquois 
  except 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  Susquehanna 
  river. 
  

  

  A-di-ga 
  creek, 
  on 
  a 
  map 
  of 
  1790, 
  is 
  Atege 
  creek 
  on 
  one 
  of 
  1826. 
  

   It 
  flows 
  through 
  Otego 
  township, 
  the 
  name 
  being 
  the 
  same. 
  Ategen 
  

   is 
  to 
  have 
  fire 
  there. 
  

  

  Ca-ni-a-da-ra'-ga, 
  on 
  the 
  lake, 
  was 
  the 
  early 
  name 
  of 
  Schuyler's 
  

   lake, 
  and 
  thus 
  it 
  appears 
  on 
  Sauthier's 
  map 
  and 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  New 
  

   Hampshire 
  grants. 
  It 
  has 
  been 
  revived 
  as 
  Canadarago 
  and 
  Canda- 
  

   jarago. 
  The 
  last 
  syllable 
  alone 
  indicates 
  locality. 
  

  

  Ka-un-seh-wa-tau'-yea 
  was 
  David 
  Cusick's 
  name 
  for 
  the 
  Susque- 
  

   hanna, 
  probably 
  from 
  a 
  village 
  of 
  that 
  name, 
  but 
  it 
  might 
  mean 
  

   river 
  in 
  the 
  forest. 
  The 
  Iroquois 
  called 
  the 
  Potomac 
  by 
  this 
  name. 
  

  

  Co-ni-hun'-to 
  or 
  Gunnegunter 
  was 
  burned 
  in 
  1779, 
  about 
  14 
  miles 
  

   below 
  Unadilla, 
  the 
  name 
  suggesting 
  the 
  last. 
  Halsey 
  placed 
  this 
  

   on 
  an 
  island 
  near 
  Afton, 
  and 
  the 
  name 
  may 
  be 
  from 
  its 
  location 
  

   on 
  this. 
  

  

  De-u-na-dil'-lo 
  and 
  Unadilla 
  are 
  two 
  forms 
  of 
  an 
  Oneida 
  word, 
  

   signifying 
  place 
  of 
  meeting, 
  as 
  at 
  the 
  forks 
  of 
  the 
  river.
