  its 
  general 
  position

  thought 
  it 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  an 
  Indian 
  who 
  

   lived 
  and 
  hunted 
  there. 
  Both 
  may 
  be 
  true.

  Forbes

  according 
  to 
  Heckewelder, 
  is 
  properly 
  Sisque- 
  

   hanne, 
  from 
  sisku, 
  mud, 
  and 
  hanne, 
  stream, 
  referring 
  to 
  its 
  con- 
  

   dition 
  in 
  flood. 
  This 
  has 
  been 
  already 
  noticed. 
  

  

  Te-ka-ha-ra-wa, 
  a 
  valley, 
  is 
  applied 
  to 
  falls 
  near 
  Cherry 
  Valley

  Ti-an-der-ra 
  and 
  Tianderah

  early 
  Mohawk

  Ti-on-on-da-don, 
  a 
  small 
  branch 
  of 
  the 
  Susquehanna 
  near 
  Otsego 
  

   lake. 
  It 
  was 
  interpreted 
  for 
  me 
  as 
  where 
  she 
  gave 
  him 
  something, 
  

   but 
  it 
  suggests 
  a 
  reference 
  to 
  the 
  hills.

  same 
  word,

   tract

  was 
  visited 
  by

  Gideon 
  Hawley 
  in 
  1753. 
  

   The 
  name 
  suggests 
  Unadilla-, 
  and 
  it 
  may 
  mean 
  nearly 
  the 
  same, 
  but 
  

   it 
  was 
  above 
  Wauteghe. 
  

  

  U-na-dil'-la, 
  strictly 
  place 
  of 
  meeting, 
  but 
  given 
  as 
  meeting 
  of 
  

   waters 
  at 
  an 
  early 
  day, 
  in 
  allusion 
  to 
  the 
  forks 
  of 
  the 
  river. 
  Beside 
  

   the 
  river 
  and 
  present 
  town 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  place 
  called 
  Unadilla 
  Forks, 
  

   where 
  the 
  name 
  properly 
  belongs.

  already 
  mentioned.
