He was otherwise known by the title, "He is the j^reat wood-drift," Ti-onondar=aga and Tiononta-ogen are forms of the name by which the "First Alohawk Castle" was located after the Tortoise tribe was driven by the French from Caugfhnawaga in 1693. The castle was located on the zvcst side and near the mouth of Schohare Creek, as shown by a rough map in Doc. Hist. N. Y., iii, 902, and also by a French Itinerary in 1757, in the same work. Vol. i, 526.- For the protection of the settlement, the government erected, in 1710, what was known as Fort Hunter, by which name the place is still known. The settlement was ruled over for a number of years by "Little Abraham," brother of the Great King Hendrick of the "Upper Alohawk Castle," at Canajohare. Its occupants were especially classed as "Praying Maquas," and had a chapel and a bell and a priest of the Church of England. In the war of the Revolution they professed to be neutral but came to be regarded by the settlers as being composed of spies and informers. So it came about that General Clinton sent out, in 1779, a detachment, captured all the inmates, and seized their stock and property.* There were onl}- four houses -- very good frame buildings -- ^then standing, and on the solicitation of settlers, who- had been made houseless in the Brant and Johnson raids, they were given to them. It was the last Mohawk castle to disappear from the valley proper.
