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

   Xesaqnage 
  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 
  

   written 
  Nasaquack, 
  and 
  translated 
  muddy 
  place. 
  

  

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

   quag, 
  a 
  heap. 
  

  

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

   • 
  Noy-ack 
  bay 
  in 
  Southampton, 
  a 
  point 
  or 
  angle, 
  from 
  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, 
  water. 
  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 
  inclosure. 
  

  

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

  

  Oo-sunk, 
  a 
  stream 
  y 
  2 
  mile 
  from 
  Yaphank. 
  Perhaps 
  from 
  ooshoh, 
  

   a 
  father, 
  with 
  locative, 
  as 
  though 
  it 
  were 
  his 
  residence. 
  

  

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

   mentioned 
  in 
  1653, 
  and 
  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 
  7'acant 
  land. 
  

  

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

   but 
  probably 
  was 
  flax 
  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 
  

   county.
