79, under the name of TODEVIGHRONO, the
name of the people. In 1750 Zeisberger, the Moravian missionary,
passed through this valley while on his way to visit the Cayugas, but
makes no mention of an Indian village in the vicinity. Undoubtedly
they settled there in the summer of 1753. Their cleared fields were
found on the present site of Ithaca on the first settlement of the
country by the whites and were the first lands occupied in the county.
The town is indicated but not named on the map of Mr. Lodge, the
surveyor who accompanied Colonel Butler's detachment. To stand on the
identical spot from which this people sunk into oblivion, appeared
like standing on the grave of a nation. Their history, the beginning
of which extends far back into the unknown and unattainable, ends
where that of civilization begins, and adds another name to the long
list of extinguished nationalities that preceded us in sovereignty.
Here their council fire, fanned by the last expiring breath of a once
brave and numerous people, was extinguished forever.
