This town or ' Bourg d'Oiogouen,' in 1668, according to the Jesuit Eelation for 1669, contained more than 2,000 souls and could muster more than 300 warriors. While the Ca- yuga were proud-spirited, the missiona- ries found them more tractable and less fierce than were the Onondaga and the Oneida. At this town Father de Carheil dedicated the mission of St Joseph on Nov. 9, 1668, and 7 days later witnessed the horrible spectacle of the burning and the eating of a captive Conestoga woman. Archeologic evidence indicates, what is usual in regard to the permanency of In- dian village sites, that this town has been removed from site to site within a radius of 10 miles or more. In 1779 Gen. Sullivan's army found three places named Cayuga; namely, (1) Cayuga Castle, containing about 15 very large houses of squared logs, superior to any thingseenbeforeamong these Indians; the troops destroyed here 1 lO acres of corn; (2) Upper Cayuga, containing 14 houses, situated about 1 m. s. of the Castle; (3) East Cayuga, 'Old Town,' containing about 13 houses, situated about 1 m. n. e. from the Castle. In these towns the troops found apples, peaches, potatoes, turnips, onions, pumpkins, squashes, cucumbers, watermelons, and vegetables of various kinds in great abundance. These with other hamlets of the Cayuga were burned and the fruit and vegetables destroyed by the troops, Sept. 23-24, 1779. (j. N. B. H. ) Caiougo.—N. Y. Doc. Col. Hist., index, 18G1.
