Cut-chogue, the principal place, is now the name of a village in 

 Southold. The sachem of Corchaki was one of four who sold East 

 Hampton in 1648. The Corchogue Indians lived in the north part 

 of the island, east of Wading river. The name was written Cor- 

 choagg in 1667, and Corchaug when it was purchased in 1649. At 

 that time the Curchaulk meadows were mentioned. 



Cut-cum-suck, stony brook. Tooker speaks of Cutscunsuck or 

 Cussqunsuck, a brook between Brookhaven and Smithtown, which 

 was called Cutsqunsuck in 1702. He derived the name from qus- 

 suckque, stone, and suck, a brook, making it qussucqunsuck or stony 

 brook. Pelletreau thought the location erroneous. Cuttscumsuck 

 was mentioned as two swamps in 1718, and this suggests a differ- 

 ent definition. 



The sachem of Cutunomack had sold lands of Oyster Bay in 

 1657, ^I'^cl reference was made to this in 1662. 



Ge-or-ge-ka was given by Thompson as an Indian name in the 

 east part of Southampton. 



Hap-pogue or Happauge, sweet waters, is in Smithtown. Rut- 

 tenber wrote it Huppogues, and thought it a contraction of sum- 

 huppaog, beavers. Tooker says that Happauge i* on the south line 

 of Smithtown, and has its name from Winganhappogue river, one 

 of the boundaries in 1692. He thought the name was contracted 

 from this, and referred to a stream flowing through a swampy 

 region, abounding In springs of running water. In 1698 it was 

 spoken of as the " Place of Springs, called by the Indians Hap- 

 pogs." A note in the Smithtown Records, page 385, says : " The 

 above shows very plainly the meaning of the Indian name now 

 spelled ' Happauge.' This name, which belongs and applies to the 

 springs at the head of Nissequogue river, .has been extended to a 

 village and district some ways to the east; and the land between 

 the main river on the west, and the ' Long branch ' on the east 

 has always been called Happauge neck. In a mortgage . . . 

 1703 . . . the place is called ' Winganheppoge or ye pleasant 

 springs.' According to Dr William Wallace Tooker the name is 

 originally ' aup pe acke,' a flooded or overflown water place. Hence 

 springs that flow out and cover the land,"

 In 1659 it was called Hashamamuck al Neshugguncir. In 1645 land
