Kadarode, of record in 1693 as the name of a tract of land "Lying upon Trinderogues (Schohare) creek, on both sides, made over to John Petersen Mabie by _Roode,_ the Indian, in his life time, [FN] principal sachem, by and with the consent of the rest of the Praying Indian Castle in the Mohawk country" (Land Papers, 61), is further referred to in grant of permission to Mabie, in 1715, to purchase additional land "known as Kadarode," on the _east_ side of the creek, and also lands "adjoining" his lands on the _west_ side of the stream. (Ib. 118.) By the DeWitt map of survey of 1790, Mabie's entire purchase extended east from the mouth of Aurie's Creek to a point on the east side of Schohare Creek, a distance of about four miles, the territory covering the presumed site of the early Mohawk castle called by different writers from names which they had heard spoken, Onekagoncka, Caneray, Osseruenon, and Oneugioure, now the site of the Shrine, "Our Lady of Martyrs." The Mohawk River, west of the long rapids, above and including the mouth of Schohare Creek, flows "in a broad, dark stream, with no apparent current," giving it the appearance of a lake--"a long stretch of still water in a river." The section was much favored by the Tortoise tribe, whose castle in 1635 and again in 1693-4 was seated upon it. The record name, _Kadarode,_ has obviously lost some letters. Its locative suggests its derivation from _Kanitare,_ "Lake," and _-okte_, "End, side, edge," etc. Van Curler wrote here, in 1635, _Canowarode,_ the name of a village which he passed while walking on the ice which had frozen over the Mohawk; it was evidently on the side of the stream. _Carenay_ or _Kaneray,_ Van der Donck's name of the castle, may easily have been from _Kanitare._ The letters _d_ and _t_ are equivalent sounds in the Mohawk tongue. The aspirate _k_ was frequently dropped by European scribes; it does not represent a radical element. The several record names which are met here is a point of interest to students. * * * * * [FN] _Roode_ was living in 1683. An additional name was given to him in a Schenectady patent of that year, indicating that the name by which he was generally known was from his place of residence. He could easily have been a sachem in 1635.
