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

   Sonthold. 
  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, 
  and 
  reference 
  was 
  made 
  to 
  this 
  in 
  1662. 
  . 
  

  

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

   east 
  pa"rt 
  of 
  Southampton. 
  

  

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

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

   huppaog, 
  beavers. 
  Tooker 
  says 
  that 
  Happauge 
  is 
  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 
  : 
  u 
  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.

  . 
  the 
  place 
  is 
  called 
  ' 
  Winganheppoge 
  or 
  ye 
  pleasant 
  

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

   originally 
  ' 
  aup 
  pe 
  acke,' 
  a 
  Hooded 
  or 
  oi'crflown 
  zvater 
  place. 
  Hence 
  

   springs 
  that 
  flow 
  out 
  and^ 
  cover 
  the 
  land."
