  Ti-o-nee-de-hou-wee 
  creek 
  was 
  at 
  the 
  south 
  line 
  of 
  the 
  Saratoga 
  

   patent 
  in 
  1683, 
  and 
  had 
  the 
  same 
  name 
  as 
  another 
  stream. 
  

  

  ■ 
  Twek-to-non-do 
  hill 
  was 
  at 
  one 
  angle 
  of 
  the 
  Kayaderosseras 
  pat- 
  

   ent. 
  The 
  name 
  seems 
  to 
  mean 
  a 
  great 
  hill 
  not 
  far 
  off. 
  

  

  SCHENECTADY 
  COUNTY 
  

  

  Changh-ta-noon-da 
  creek 
  is 
  in 
  Glenville, 
  north 
  of 
  the 
  Mohawk, 
  

   and 
  is 
  defined 
  stone 
  houses 
  or 
  stony 
  places. 
  The 
  name 
  occurs 
  else- 
  

   where, 
  as 
  in 
  the 
  next. 
  

  

  South 
  Chuctenunda 
  creek 
  flows 
  into 
  Montgomery 
  county 
  from 
  

   Duanesburg. 
  SpafTord 
  slightly 
  differs 
  from 
  others 
  and 
  says 
  : 
  

   " 
  This 
  name 
  is 
  purely 
  Indian, 
  and 
  signifies 
  stony 
  bottom." 
  

  

  Con-nugh-ha-rie-gugh-ha-rie, 
  according 
  to 
  Macauley 
  and 
  others, 
  

   was 
  the 
  ancient 
  name 
  for 
  Schenectady 
  as 
  the 
  early 
  Mohawk 
  capital, 
  

   meaning 
  a 
  great 
  multitude 
  collected 
  together. 
  There 
  seems 
  no 
  rea- 
  

   son 
  for 
  this 
  statement 
  in 
  history, 
  tradition 
  or 
  remains. 
  In 
  fact 
  till 
  

   the 
  Mahicans 
  were 
  conquered 
  Schenectady 
  lay 
  outside 
  of 
  the 
  

   Mohawk 
  territory. 
  As 
  it 
  was 
  far 
  east 
  of 
  all 
  their 
  towns 
  they 
  

   readily 
  sold 
  it 
  a 
  few 
  years 
  after 
  it 
  became 
  their 
  own. 
  Schoolcraft 
  

   gave 
  Con-no-harrie-go-harrie 
  as 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  place, 
  but 
  said 
  : 
  

   " 
  It 
  is 
  in 
  allusion 
  to 
  the 
  flood 
  wood 
  on 
  the 
  flats," 
  which 
  is 
  reason- 
  

   able. 
  Another 
  writer 
  has 
  Oron-nyh-wurrie-gugh-re 
  for 
  the 
  land 
  

   around 
  the 
  city, 
  with 
  the 
  meaning 
  of 
  com 
  flats. 
  Ruttenber 
  says 
  

   this 
  has 
  been 
  wisely 
  dropped. 
  Spafford 
  said 
  : 
  " 
  The 
  city 
  of 
  Sche- 
  

   nectady 
  is 
  built 
  on 
  the 
  site 
  of 
  a 
  large 
  Indian 
  town, 
  anciently 
  called 
  

   Con-nugh-harie-gugh-harie, 
  literally 
  a 
  great 
  multitude 
  collected 
  to- 
  

   gether. 
  It 
  w 
  r 
  as 
  built 
  by 
  a 
  band 
  of 
  Mohocks, 
  or 
  Mohawks, 
  and 
  could 
  

   at 
  one 
  time 
  send 
  800 
  warriors 
  to 
  the 
  field." 
  The 
  Mohawks 
  were 
  

   too 
  wise 
  to 
  choose 
  such 
  an 
  accessible 
  place. 
  Pearson 
  gave 
  the 
  

   meaning 
  of 
  driftzvood, 
  and 
  the 
  name 
  in 
  question 
  probably 
  orig- 
  

   inated 
  in 
  some 
  confusion 
  with 
  that 
  of 
  Schoharie. 
  

  

  Kan-nes-ta-ly. 
  De 
  Xonville 
  mentioned 
  Schenectady 
  by 
  this 
  name 
  

   in 
  1687, 
  but 
  the 
  French 
  usually 
  termed 
  it 
  Corlar, 
  after 
  its 
  founder. 
  

  

  Kin-a-qua-ri-o-nes. 
  In 
  July, 
  1672, 
  land 
  was 
  bought 
  "Lying 
  

   Neare 
  The 
  Town 
  of 
  Schanhectade 
  within 
  Three 
  Dutch 
  Myles 
  in 
  

   Compasse

  ends

  between 
  the 
  Mohoakx 
  

   and 
  the 
  North

  Indians." 
  This 
  fight 
  was 
  in 
  1669, 
  after 
  the
