Toisnot Swamprises in S Nash County and flows SE into N Wilson County. It flows across the county and enters Contentnea Creek in S Wilson County. The name Toisnot is from the Iroquoian language base of the Tuscarora tosneoc, meaning "close to two rivers." The name is properly applied not to a single village but to around a dozen different sites occupied by the Tuscarora in what is now E Wilson County. Until about the 1850s, the name was spelled Tosneot and appears that way in local records dating from 1741 and on the Collet map, 1770.
