Beauchamp translated the name, "Stone standing out of the water." The meaning, however, seems to be simply, "Standing stone," or an elevated rock. Its location isstated in the patent description as "lying on the west side of the creek." The place is claimed for Fulton County. (See Caughnawaga.) Canagere, written by Van Curler, in 1635, as the name of the "Second Castle" or tribal town, was written Gandagiro by Father Jogues, in 1643 1 Banigiro by Rev. Megapolensis ; Gandagora in Jesuit Relations in 1669, and Canagora by Green'halgh in 1677. The several orthographies are claimed to stand for Cmiajohare, from the fact that the castle was "built on a high hill" east of Canajdhare Creek. It was, however, the castle of the Bear tribe, the Ganniagtvari, or Grand Bear of the nation, and carried its name with it to the north side of the Mohawk in 1667. Ganniagzvari and Canajohare are easily confused. The creek called Canajohare gave a general locative name to a considerable district of country around it. It took the name from a pot-hole in a mass of limestone in its bed at the falls on the stream about one mile from its mouth. Bruyas wrote " Ganna-tsi-ohare , laver de chaudiere" (to wash the cauldron or large kettle). Rev. Samuel Kirkland, the noted missionary to the Oneidas, wrote the same word "Kanaohare, or Great Boiling Pot, as it is called by the Six Nations." (Dr. D wight.) The letter /stands for tsi, augmentative, and the radical oharc means "To wash." (Bruyas.) The hole was obviously worn by a round stone or by pebbles, which, moved by the action of the current, literally ' The same word is now written as the name of the Oneida nation. Van Curler's trip, in 1635, extended to the castle of the Oneidas, which he called' Enneyuttehage, "The standing-stone town." (Hale.)
