the river, " and the parte lyeing on ye west syde, comonly called 

 Nesaquage Accompesett, did extend as farre as ye fresh pond 

 westward." The last name in full has been defined as neighbors 

 on the other side of the neck, by Mr Tooker. The name has been 

 v^'ritten Nasaqiiack, and translated muddy place. 



Nom-i-nick hills are near Napeague and may be from nomunk- 

 quag, a heap. 



Non-o-wan-tuck is now Mount Sinai. 



Noy-ack bay in Southampton, a point or angle/ irom the long 

 points on either side. 



Occapogue is usually Ocquabauk in early deeds. In 1648 Pau- 

 cump said that " Occabauke was an ancient Seate of sachemship — 

 time out of mind." It was at Riverhead, and Ruttenber derived it 

 from accup, a creek. It may be better to derive it from oohquaeu, 

 at the end or border, and pog, li^ater. This would be almost the 

 same as the present English name. 



Oc-com-bo-mock is now Bellport. From acawme, on the other 

 side, and komuk, boundary or inclosnre. 



O-nock is a hamlet in Southampton, near Westhampton station.

Op-cat-kon-tycke river, at the head of Northport Harbor, was 

 mentioned in 1653, ^.nd in 1656 was the west bound of the Eastern 

 Purchase of Huntington. It might be derived from opponenauhock, 

 oysters, but more probably from some other word. 



Oquenock or Okenock in Islip, was written Oquonock by Thomp- 

 son. Some define it a burial place, for which there seems no good 

 reason. It might be derived from ohquae, on the other side, and 

 ohke, land, but Tooker thinks it has been corrupted from Oak Neck. 



O-ro-wuc or Orewake brook is in Islip. Tooker applies this 

 name to a neck having this stream on one side, and says it means 

 uninhabited or vacant land. 



O-sa-wack brook, mentioned in 1708, may have been Orawack, 

 but probably was ^ax land. 



O-sha-ma-mucks was a name for Fresh pond in 1694. This was 

 in Huntington, and has been noticed in a varying form. 



Ou-hey-wich-kingh, a village of 1645, may have been in this
