Ke-ke-shick was a place in Yonkers, and was called Kekeskick

Kes-tau-bai-uck or Kastoniuck was a village on Van der Donck's

 Kestaubnuck, and derives it from Keche-tauppen-auke, the great 

 encampment. ,

 this name.

 rent, is Croton river near the Hudson. Tooker makes it a zvild, 

 dashing stream, frdhi kussi-tchuan. Trumbull defined this word, 

 it flows in a rapid stream or current. It was called Kightawonck 

 creek in a deed of 1699, and Kichtawangh in 1663. In a deed of 

 1685 it is mentioned as a " creek called Kitchawan, called by the 

 Indians Sinksink," 



There was a Kitchawanc also in Mamaroneck.

 berger defines kituteney as a chief town, but it has a wide applica- 

 tion.

 may be a variant of Kitchawan, but is probably a local term.
