Near the mouth of Plum Creek, near Shelocta, James LeTort had a trading house, which was near the forks of the Frankstown Path to Kittanning and Chartier's Town. This is mentioned in some of the early records of Indiana Co. as James Le Tort's Town. This was also the site which is noted on Schull's map (1770) as "Tohoguses Cabbins". The term was used by the Iroquois in speaking of the Algonkian tribes, and was frequently applied to the Shawnee. The name therefore, is simply the Iroquois name for "Shawnee Cabins". There were several places in the region about Shelocta, where the Shawnee had cabins. Because of its situation near the forking of the two trails, the trading house at the mouth of Plum Creek, was probably well patronized.
