  Aquebauke 
  was 
  also 
  called 
  Piaconnock 
  river. 
  Ruttenber 
  mentions 
  

   Accppogue 
  as 
  an 
  Indian 
  village 
  on 
  a 
  creek 
  entering 
  Little 
  Peconic 
  

   bay 
  on 
  the 
  north, 
  and 
  adds 
  that 
  Occopogue, 
  now 
  Riverhead, 
  is 
  much 
  

   the 
  same 
  and 
  derived 
  from 
  accup, 
  a 
  creek, 
  which 
  may 
  be 
  the 
  case. 
  

   Upper 
  Aquebogue 
  now 
  appears 
  on 
  maps 
  north 
  of 
  the 
  village 
  of 
  

   Riverhead, 
  and 
  Old 
  Aquebogue 
  at 
  the 
  east 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  town, 
  on 
  

   Great 
  Peconic 
  bay. 
  Pog 
  is 
  used 
  in 
  compound 
  words 
  for 
  zvater. 
  

  

  A-ra-ca 
  Xeck 
  was 
  mentioned 
  in 
  1694, 
  and 
  Arace 
  or 
  West 
  Neck 
  

   of 
  1682 
  may 
  be 
  the 
  same. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  a 
  derivation 
  from 
  auwassu, 
  

   he 
  warms 
  himself. 
  R 
  was 
  rarely 
  used 
  by 
  the 
  Indians 
  of 
  Long 
  

   Island, 
  and 
  such 
  a 
  change 
  has 
  good 
  authority. 
  

  

  A-ra-se 
  Co-se-ag-ge, 
  or 
  East 
  Neck, 
  was 
  sold 
  in 
  1697. 
  

  

  Ar-ha-ta-munk 
  or 
  Actamunk 
  was 
  on 
  the 
  east 
  line 
  of 
  a 
  deed 
  of 
  

   1659, 
  in 
  Smithtown. 
  It 
  varied 
  much 
  in 
  form, 
  being 
  written 
  Arhata- 
  

   munt 
  in 
  1659, 
  an 
  d 
  Catawamac 
  in 
  1685. 
  Acatamunk 
  and 
  Catawa- 
  

   muck 
  are 
  other 
  forms. 
  Tooker 
  derived 
  it 
  from 
  arhata, 
  crab 
  ; 
  primar- 
  

   ily 
  meaning 
  they 
  run 
  to 
  and 
  fro, 
  and 
  amuk, 
  fishing 
  place. 
  

  

  Ar-sha-ma-maque, 
  wild 
  flax, 
  is 
  a 
  place 
  near 
  Southold, 
  and 
  was 
  

   also 
  called 
  Hashamomuk. 
  It 
  seems 
  quite 
  as 
  likely 
  to 
  refer 
  to 
  a 
  fish- 
  

   ing 
  place. 
  

  

  A-sha-mau-muk 
  seems 
  the 
  same 
  word, 
  but 
  in 
  the 
  Smithtown 
  rec- 
  

   ords 
  it 
  is 
  a 
  fresh-water 
  pond 
  at 
  the 
  parting 
  of 
  the 
  bounds, 
  and 
  would 
  

   thus 
  be 
  a 
  name 
  for 
  Lake 
  Ronconcoma. 
  Here 
  it 
  would 
  probably 
  be 
  

   a 
  fishing 
  place 
  of 
  some 
  kind. 
  

  

  As-pa-tuck 
  creek 
  is 
  in

  Kakaijongh 
  brook 
  was

  Canoe 
  Place 
  is 
  now 
  called 
  from 
  an 
  Indian 
  word 
  for 
  boat, 
  but 
  the 
  

   old 
  name 
  is 
  Merosuck. 
  It 
  is 
  near 
  Southampton, 
  and 
  an 
  aboriginal 
  

   canal 
  united 
  Shinnecock 
  and 
  Peconic 
  bays. 
  This 
  canal 
  was 
  made 
  

   by 
  Mongotucksee 
  or 
  Long 
  Knife, 
  a 
  Montauk 
  chief.

  The 
  Cat-a-wau-nuck 
  or 
  Cattawamnuck 
  land 
  was 
  given 
  to 
  Gar- 
  

   diner 
  by 
  Wy-an-dance. 
  It 
  was 
  also 
  written 
  Catawamac 
  and 
  Cata- 
  

   wamuck, 
  which 
  would 
  indicate 
  a 
  fishing 
  place. 
  

  

  Cats-ja-jock 
  was 
  at 
  the 
  east 
  end 
  of 
  Long 
  Island 
  in 
  1647, 
  when 
  

   its 
  chief 
  was 
  hostile 
  to 
  the 
  Dutch. 
  It 
  was 
  called 
  Catsjeyick 
  in 
  1645.
