  Ta-sham-mick 
  was 
  a 
  flat 
  on 
  Spragg's 
  land. 
  

  

  Tank-han-ne, 
  a 
  stream 
  in 
  a 
  gorge 
  at 
  Bash 
  Bich, 
  has 
  been 
  

   translated 
  small 
  river, 
  without 
  good 
  reasons. 
  The 
  name 
  is 
  probably 
  

   a 
  corruption 
  of 
  Tagh-ka-nick. 
  

  

  Tan-quash-qui-eck, 
  1688, 
  is 
  now 
  Schuyler's 
  Vly. 
  A 
  recent 
  

   history 
  of 
  this 
  county 
  speaks 
  of 
  it 
  as 
  a 
  meadow 
  called 
  Tauquash- 
  

   queak. 
  

  

  Ti-o-run-da, 
  place 
  where 
  two 
  streams 
  meet, 
  an 
  Iroquois 
  word 
  

   applied 
  by 
  Boyd 
  to 
  Fishkill. 
  While 
  appropriate 
  it 
  is 
  not 
  historic, 
  

   and 
  he 
  probably 
  erred 
  in 
  placing 
  it 
  there. 
  

  

  Ti-sha-sinks 
  mountain 
  was 
  Stissing. 
  The 
  name 
  may 
  be 
  derived 
  

   from 
  tahshin, 
  he 
  raises 
  himself. 
  

  

  Wam-munt-ing 
  was 
  a 
  place 
  on 
  the 
  Little 
  Nine 
  Partners' 
  tract. 
  

  

  Wappingers 
  falls, 
  creek 
  and 
  village, 
  from 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  an 
  Indian 
  

   tribe. 
  It 
  is 
  usually 
  derived 
  from 
  Wabun, 
  east, 
  and 
  ahki, 
  land; 
  i. 
  e., 
  

   Wapanachki, 
  east 
  land, 
  or 
  people 
  living 
  there, 
  east 
  of 
  the 
  Hudson. 
  

   It 
  has 
  several 
  forms 
  and 
  applications. 
  Ruttenber 
  thought 
  the 
  Dutch 
  

   might 
  have 
  written 
  it 
  Wappinger 
  from 
  their 
  own 
  word 
  wepen, 
  half 
  

   armed. 
  It 
  has 
  been 
  translated 
  opossum, 
  from 
  waping 
  [Zeisberger], 
  

   the 
  name 
  of 
  that 
  animal 
  in 
  the 
  Delaware 
  dialect. 
  In 
  1885 
  some 
  

   Canadian 
  Delawares 
  said 
  : 
  " 
  We 
  often 
  speak 
  of 
  ourselves 
  as 
  the 
  

   Wapanachki, 
  or 
  people 
  of 
  the 
  morning, 
  in 
  allusion 
  to 
  our 
  supposed 
  

   eastern 
  origin." 
  The 
  Senecas 
  also 
  called 
  them 
  Dyo-hens-govola, 
  

   From 
  Whence 
  the 
  Morning 
  Springs. 
  

  

  War-au-ka-meek 
  is 
  now 
  Ferer 
  Cot 
  or 
  Pine 
  swamp, 
  and 
  was 
  

   called 
  Warachkameek 
  in 
  1722. 
  In 
  1688 
  it 
  was 
  a 
  pond 
  in 
  Red 
  Hook, 
  

   3 
  miles 
  east 
  of 
  Upper 
  Red 
  Hook. 
  There 
  may 
  be 
  an 
  allusion 
  to 
  

   fishing 
  in 
  the 
  name. 
  

  

  War-en-eck-er 
  Indians 
  lived 
  at 
  Fisher's 
  Hook 
  in 
  1632. 
  They 
  

   were 
  also 
  called 
  Warrawannankonck 
  Indians 
  the 
  same 
  year.

  War-es-kee-hin, 
  a 
  marsh 
  north 
  of 
  Wynogkee 
  creek. 
  

  

  Was-sa-ic 
  creek 
  is 
  in 
  Amenia. 
  O'Callaghan 
  thought 
  this 
  

   Wissayck, 
  rocky 
  from 
  gussuk, 
  a 
  rock, 
  and 
  ick, 
  a 
  place. 
  Ruttenber 
  

   preferred 
  wassa, 
  light 
  ( 
  ?) 
  and 
  ick, 
  place; 
  i. 
  e. 
  the 
  light 
  or 
  bright 
  

   waters. 
  The 
  former 
  is 
  preferable. 
  Wishshiag 
  was 
  an 
  early 
  form. 
  

  

  Wa-yaugh-tan-ock 
  was 
  a 
  tract 
  of 
  land 
  in 
  this 
  county. 
  

  

  We-ba-tnck 
  pond 
  and 
  village. 
  The 
  name 
  is 
  also 
  applied 
  to 
  

   Oblong 
  creek. 
  Boyd 
  derives 
  Wepatuck 
  from 
  weepwoiunt-ohki.
