  Ra-ti-o-con 
  or 
  Raseokan 
  is 
  derived 
  from 
  Ashawoken 
  by 
  Tooker, 
  

   which 
  he 
  considers 
  the 
  proper 
  form. 
  

  

  Ri-on-com 
  he 
  also 
  derived 
  from 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  the 
  chief 
  Weon- 
  

   combone. 
  

  

  Ro-an-oke 
  point 
  is 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  shore 
  of 
  Riverhead, 
  and 
  is 
  a 
  

   Virginia 
  name 
  often 
  applied 
  to 
  some 
  shell 
  beads. 
  

  

  Ron-kon-ko-ma, 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  a 
  considerable 
  lake, 
  has 
  various 
  

   forms. 
  Ruttenber 
  has 
  it 
  Ronconcoa, 
  and 
  says 
  it 
  is 
  very 
  deep 
  and 
  

   has 
  local 
  legends. 
  Spafford 
  said: 
  ' 
  ' 
  Ronconquaway, 
  or 
  Roncon- 
  

   coma 
  Pond, 
  in 
  this 
  county, 
  received 
  its 
  name 
  from 
  the 
  Indians, 
  

   which 
  is 
  said 
  to 
  mean 
  Sandy 
  Pond, 
  being 
  surrounded 
  by 
  a 
  fine 
  sandy 
  

   beach." 
  This 
  has 
  little 
  to 
  sustain 
  it. 
  Tooker 
  thought 
  Ronkon- 
  

   kumake 
  came 
  from 
  Wonkonkoonamaug, 
  the 
  fenced 
  in 
  or 
  boundary 
  

   fishing 
  place, 
  several 
  towns 
  and 
  purchases 
  meetings 
  there. 
  

  

  The 
  Rat-ta-co-neck 
  lands 
  had 
  been 
  owned 
  by 
  Wyandance. 
  There 
  

   was 
  a 
  fresh-water 
  pond 
  at 
  the 
  parting 
  of 
  the 
  bounds, 
  called 
  Asha- 
  

   maumuk, 
  another 
  name 
  for 
  the 
  lake 
  just 
  mentioned, 
  meaning 
  

   either 
  place 
  of 
  wild 
  flax 
  or 
  eel 
  fishery.

  Runs-cat-a-my 
  or 
  Rungcatamy 
  lands 
  were 
  bought 
  in 
  Huntington 
  

   in 
  1691. 
  The 
  name 
  suggests 
  that

  Sack-a-po-nock 
  or 
  Great

  was 
  mentioned 
  in 
  1661. 
  It 
  is 
  also 
  

   called 
  Sagaponack.

  Mrs 
  Flint 
  has 
  

   Saghtokoos

  where 
  there

  Sam-pa-wams, 
  the 
  right 
  path. 
  Mr 
  Tooker 
  thought 
  this 
  a 
  per- 
  

   sonal 
  name. 
  In 
  1657 
  five 
  necks 
  were 
  bought 
  between

   and 
  Copiague 
  necks, 
  and 
  in

  Sompawams 
  swamp 
  was 
  men- 
  

   tioned. 
  In 
  1697 
  it 
  was 
  writen 
  Sampaumes 
  Neck. 
  It 
  is 
  a 
  name 
  of

  called
