1683. The former seems equivalent to Minisink, and the latter 

 interferes with the usual definition of Poughkeepsie. 



My-nach-kee is an erroneous rendering of Wynachkee. 



Nan-ca-po-nick was another name for the small creek near 

 Mansaking. 



Na-ni-o-pa-co-ni-oc, Schoolcraft's name for Crum Elbow creek, 

 is much like the last. 



O-swe-go village is in the town of Union Vale. 



O-was-si-tan-nuck was a place on the south bounds of Spragg's 

 land. It may be derived from awosachtene, over the hill. 



The Pachany Indians were placed at Fisher's Hook in 1632, by 

 Wassenaer. 



Pan-do-wick-ra-in is one of Schoolcraft's names for Fallkill. It 

 is elsewhere mentioned as a fall called Pendanick Reen. It may be 

 related to pindalanak, white pine. 



Pa-pa-ke-ing kill, has been referred to in connection with the Viel 

 tract in 1680. It may be from paupock, partridge, with locative. 



Pi-et-a-wick-quas-ick was a name for Poughkeepsie creek, from 

 pehteau, it foamSj and quassic, stone. Schoolcraft said that Pie- 

 tawisquassic was the name of Caspar creek below Barnegat.

 defines the name as yjund lake. Poquag by itself means merely 

 a hole or hollow, while petuhki is round. Trumbull has cleared 

 land for poquaig, and this seems the meaning here. It might also 

 be corrupted from Pohkepaug, clear pond. 



Pops-ick pond was on one line of the Little Nine Partners' tract, 

 and may refer to a place for recreation. 



■ Pough-keep'-sie was called safe harbor by Schoolcraft from Apo- 

 keepsing, but this derivation and meaning have been much doubted. 

 Spafford gave the same meaning and origin, this definition being 

 evidently of early date. The boundary was described in 1680 as 

 " beginning at a creek called Pacaksing, by the riverside." In 

 1683 an Indian made a free gift of a waterfall in the Highlands, 

 called Pooghkepesingh, and certainly safe harbor would not apply 

 to this. Pogkeepke, Pokeepsinck, Poghkeepke, Picipsi and Pokip- 

 sie are other early forms. At one time the name was applied to a
