    1. [NYCORTLA] my visit to Cortland County
    2. Tim Stowell
    3. My visit to Cortland County two weeks ago Saturday was very brief. It was snowing off and on that day and was quite cool. I drove in on State 23 into Lower Cinncinnatus and then to Cinncinnatus before turning northeast towards Taylor on State 26 heading back to Chenango County's town of Pitcher. Upon returning home, I found out that General US Grant's horse had been named Cinncinnatus. This got me to wondering what that name means and if the town or horse got its name from one or the other? Since the name is very close to that of Cinncinnati, I was also wondering if they come from the same root word. Does anyone have info on what the signifigance of this name is regarding history, its definition or what it was named for? Thanks, Tim
