  Po-ney 
  Hollow 
  is 
  supposed 
  to 
  be 
  so 
  called 
  from 
  a 
  Saponey 
  village 
  

   there. 
  

  

  Sto'-ke 
  creek 
  was 
  thought 
  to 
  be 
  the 
  present 
  Butternut 
  creek 
  by 
  

   General 
  Clark. 
  The 
  name 
  may 
  be 
  from 
  atoge, 
  north, 
  but 
  atoka 
  

   also 
  means 
  cranberries. 
  

  

  Taug-ha'-nick 
  is 
  locally 
  pronounced 
  Ti-kaw-nik, 
  and 
  is 
  applied 
  

   to 
  a 
  creek 
  and 
  falls. 
  It 
  has 
  several 
  forms 
  and 
  may 
  be 
  a 
  corruption 
  

   of 
  an 
  Iroquois 
  name, 
  but 
  seems 
  an 
  Algonquin 
  word 
  from 
  the 
  eastern 
  

   part 
  of 
  New 
  York. 
  

  

  Ti-an-on-ti-a-ou 
  was 
  the 
  eastern 
  base 
  of 
  Saxon 
  hill 
  in 
  1750. 
  

  

  To-ti-e-ron'-no, 
  where 
  the 
  Tederighroonas 
  lived 
  in 
  1747, 
  at 
  the 
  

   head 
  of 
  Cayuga 
  lake. 
  Ronon 
  means 
  people, 
  and 
  the 
  historic 
  account 
  

   is 
  clear. 
  

  

  Tschoch'-ni-oke 
  was 
  Taughanick 
  creek 
  in 
  1750. 
  

  

  Un-ta-ge-chi-at, 
  a 
  high 
  hill 
  along 
  the 
  foot 
  of 
  which 
  Cammerhoff 
  

   passed 
  on 
  emerging 
  from 
  the 
  dense 
  forest. 
  It 
  has 
  been 
  defined 
  

   the 
  hill 
  from 
  which 
  a 
  fine 
  view 
  is 
  had, 
  equivalent 
  to 
  prospect 
  hill. 
  

   Father 
  Bruyas 
  had 
  the 
  Mohawk 
  word 
  gannontagenhiat, 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  

   of 
  the 
  mountain, 
  and 
  this 
  may 
  be 
  its 
  equivalent, 
  the 
  view 
  opening 
  

   when 
  the 
  brow 
  of 
  the 
  hill 
  was 
  reached.

  As-sinck 
  island, 
  in 
  Rondout 
  creek 
  in 
  1676, 
  probably 
  refers 
  to 
  

   stones. 
  

  

  At-kar-kar-ton 
  or 
  Atkankarten, 
  an 
  early 
  name 
  of 
  Esopus 
  creek 
  

   and 
  Kingston, 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  mean 
  smooth 
  land 
  by 
  French. 
  Ruttenber 
  

   says 
  that 
  this 
  was 
  not 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  village, 
  but 
  of 
  the 
  meadow- 
  

   called 
  Great 
  Plot 
  by 
  the 
  Dutch, 
  adding 
  that 
  "At 
  is 
  equivalent 
  to 
  

   at 
  or 
  by 
  the 
  stream." 
  In 
  an 
  account 
  of 
  the 
  " 
  State 
  of 
  the 
  Churches 
  

   in 
  New 
  Netherland; 
  anno 
  1657" 
  [O'Callaghan, 
  3: 
  107], 
  a 
  place 
  is 
  

   described 
  " 
  called 
  by 
  the 
  Dutch 
  Esopus 
  or 
  Sypous 
  ; 
  by 
  the 
  Indians 
  

   Atkarkarton." 
  A 
  hamlet 
  now 
  bears 
  this 
  name. 
  

  

  Ca-na-se-ne 
  was 
  the 
  Sager's 
  kill. 
  Canasenix 
  creek 
  was 
  the 
  south 
  

   line 
  of 
  Lockerman's 
  tract 
  and 
  is 
  the 
  same 
  name. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  from 
  

   ganscheweu, 
  it 
  roars. 
  

  

  Clough-ka-wa-ka-no-e 
  was 
  a 
  small 
  creek, 
  included 
  in 
  a 
  land 
  sale 
  

   in 
  1665, 
  lying 
  west 
  and 
  southwest 
  of 
  Kahankson 
  creek. 
  It 
  has 
  been 
  

   noticed 
  in 
  Sullivan 
  county, 
  where 
  it 
  may 
  belong.
