  Cayuga 
  lake 
  and 
  inlet. 
  The 
  name 
  has 
  been 
  already 
  treated. 
  

  

  Co-re-or-go'-nel 
  was 
  an 
  Indian 
  village 
  2 
  miles 
  south 
  of 
  the 
  site 
  

   of 
  Ithaca 
  in 
  1779. 
  Major 
  Norris 
  said 
  it 
  is 
  " 
  Call'd 
  Corcargonell 
  

   and 
  is 
  the 
  Capital 
  of 
  a 
  Small 
  Nation 
  or 
  Tribe." 
  

  

  Major 
  Grant's 
  journal 
  of 
  1779 
  says 
  that 
  Colonel 
  Dearborn 
  burned 
  

   " 
  a 
  town 
  situate 
  on 
  the 
  great 
  Swamp 
  called 
  De 
  Ho 
  Riss 
  Kanadia," 
  

   being 
  the 
  same 
  place. 
  This 
  seems 
  to 
  refer 
  to 
  the 
  lake, 
  and 
  perhaps 
  

   to 
  its 
  old 
  name 
  of 
  Thiohero, 
  a 
  place 
  of 
  rushes. 
  

  

  Ga-ni-a-ta-re-ge'-chi-at 
  was 
  defined 
  by 
  A. 
  Cusick 
  as 
  from 
  here 
  we 
  

   see 
  the 
  lake. 
  It 
  was 
  the 
  first 
  view 
  of 
  Cayuga 
  lake 
  from 
  the 
  south, 
  

   and 
  the 
  name 
  is 
  in 
  Cammerhoff's 
  journal 
  of 
  1750. 
  In 
  Zeisberger's 
  

   journal 
  of 
  a 
  conference 
  at 
  Cayuga 
  in 
  1766 
  it 
  occurs 
  again. 
  The 
  

   Cayuga 
  chief 
  spoke 
  of 
  a 
  proposed 
  settlement 
  " 
  at 
  Ganiataragechiat, 
  

   that 
  is, 
  the 
  upper 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  lake," 
  and 
  this 
  seems 
  the 
  received 
  

   meaning 
  then. 
  In 
  both 
  cases 
  there 
  is 
  a 
  local 
  reference 
  to 
  reaching 
  

   or 
  leaving 
  the 
  lake 
  at 
  that 
  end, 
  and 
  it 
  may 
  properly 
  be 
  defined 
  end 
  

   of 
  the 
  lake. 
  Morgan 
  gives 
  a 
  similar 
  meaning 
  to 
  another 
  word.

  or 
  Ganowtachgerage,

  It 
  has 
  been 
  defined 
  as

  lies

   village 
  or

  that 
  is, 
  in 
  that 
  direction.
