WEST SENECA. 



Da-deo-da-na-suk-to, "bend in the shore" (Morgan), was Smoke's 

 Creek (mouth). 



De-dyo-deh neh-sak-do, "gravel bend", (Marshall) was the shore 

 above Smoke's Creek. 



De dyo-na-wab'h, "the ripple", Gardenville. 



Dyos-hoh, "the sulphur spring" (Marshall). This was one 

 locally called "Sulphur Springs", on Mineral Spring Road, 

 near Buffalo Creek. 



Dyo-nah-da-eeh, "hemlock elevation". This was a Seneca vil- 

 lage of 1780, at Blossom, on the Elma township line. 



Dyo-ge-oh-ja-en, "wet grass". This name was given to "Red 

 Bridge". The bridge known locally as the "Red Bridge" 

 was on the Orchard Park Road (Potter Road) where it 

 crossed Cazenovia Creek, near Seneca Street. The name 

 may refer to the growth of low flags on the sand bars in the 

 creek at that point. 



Ga-gah-doh-ga, "white oak creek" was "the north branch of 

 Buffalo Creek, above Sulphur Springs". (Strong, quoted 

 in Beauchamp). This must be Cayuga Creek. 



Ga-ya-gua-doh, "smoke has disappeared", Smoke's Creek. Name 

 of Old Smoke, a Seneca chief. 



Ga-yah-gaawh-doh, (Marshall) same as above. 



Hah-do-neh, "place of June berries" (Marshall) was "the Seneca 

 Creek, or the south fork of Buffalo Creek". I do not know 

 what is meant here. 



He-yont-gat-hwat-hah, "picturesque spot", Cazenovia Creek, at 

 the bluffs, on the Aurora Road, near Ebenezer. 



I-o-si-o-ha, quoted from Pennsylvania Archives by Beauchamp, 

 as being the name of the Onondaga village at Buffalo Creek, 

 This village was at the ford, on the Potter Road. It seems 

 to be a variant, however, of the Indian name of Buffalo, 

 Do-syo-wa.
