  Weg-wa-gonck, 
  a 
  place 
  at 
  the 
  end 
  of 
  the 
  hills, 
  is 
  a 
  name 
  given 
  

   by 
  Tooker. 
  

  

  Wick-a-pogue, 
  head 
  of 
  the 
  pond, 
  is 
  in 
  Southampton. 
  End 
  of 
  the 
  

   pond 
  is 
  better. 
  

  

  Wick-a-pos-sett 
  was 
  the 
  east 
  part 
  of 
  Fisher's 
  island, 
  according 
  to 
  

   Thompson. 
  

  

  Wi-gam 
  swamp 
  was 
  sold 
  by 
  the 
  town 
  of 
  Huntington 
  in 
  1699. 
  

   Wiqnam, 
  and 
  thence 
  wigwam, 
  is 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  a 
  house. 
  

  

  Win-gan-hep-poge 
  or 
  Winganhoppogue 
  was 
  in 
  Smithtown, 
  and 
  a 
  

   note 
  has 
  already 
  been 
  quoted 
  from 
  the 
  records 
  of 
  that 
  town, 
  ex- 
  

   plaining 
  the 
  meaning 
  of 
  Happauge. 
  Elsewhere 
  Mr 
  Tooker 
  says 
  

   that 
  in 
  1703 
  Andrew 
  Gibb 
  gave 
  a 
  mortgage 
  for 
  the 
  neck 
  " 
  called 
  

   by 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Winganhoppogue, 
  or 
  ye 
  pleasant 
  springs." 
  The 
  

   full 
  word 
  means 
  this, 
  Happauge 
  lacking 
  the 
  adjective. 
  At 
  the 
  

   time 
  of 
  the 
  mortgage 
  the 
  entire 
  name 
  was 
  also 
  given 
  to 
  a 
  creek 
  on 
  

   the 
  east 
  side. 
  In 
  1692 
  it 
  was 
  written 
  Winganhappauge 
  and 
  placed 
  

   on 
  the 
  soi'th 
  side 
  of 
  Long 
  Island. 
  Thompson 
  called 
  it 
  Wingatt- 
  

   happagh 
  or 
  Vail's 
  brook. 
  

  

  Win-ne-co-mack 
  patent 
  appears 
  in 
  the 
  Smithtown 
  records 
  for 
  

   1702 
  and 
  1789, 
  the 
  Indian 
  deed 
  having 
  been 
  given 
  in 
  1698. 
  Mrs 
  

   Flint 
  made 
  this 
  beautiful 
  place. 
  Comack, 
  however, 
  implies 
  a 
  

   boundary 
  cr 
  inclosure, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  on 
  the 
  line 
  of 
  Huntington 
  and 
  Smith- 
  

   town. 
  The 
  adjective 
  has 
  been 
  dropped, 
  and 
  it 
  is 
  now 
  simply 
  

   Comae. 
  

  

  Wop-o-wog 
  was 
  an 
  Indian 
  settlement 
  on 
  Stony 
  brook 
  in 
  Brook- 
  

   haven, 
  according 
  to 
  Thompson. 
  There 
  are 
  large 
  shell 
  banks 
  there, 
  

   and 
  the 
  name 
  may 
  be 
  from 
  wompi, 
  white, 
  with 
  locative, 
  in 
  allusion 
  

   to 
  these. 
  

  

  Wy-an-dance 
  is 
  now 
  a 
  hamlet 
  in 
  Babylon, 
  called 
  after 
  a 
  great 
  

   Montauk 
  chief 
  who 
  died 
  in 
  1659. 
  He 
  was 
  a 
  warm 
  and 
  influential 
  

   friend 
  of 
  the 
  colonists. 
  

  

  Yam-ke 
  is 
  Thompson's 
  name 
  for 
  a 
  stream 
  in 
  Brookhaven, 
  and 
  

   may 
  mean 
  on 
  the 
  other 
  side. 
  

  

  Yamp-hank 
  seems 
  the 
  same 
  name 
  as 
  the 
  next, 
  but 
  has 
  been 
  ap- 
  

   plied 
  to 
  the 
  vicinity 
  of 
  South 
  Haven 
  on 
  the 
  Connecticut 
  river. 
  

  

  Yap-hank 
  was 
  a 
  tributary 
  of 
  that 
  river, 
  and 
  is 
  also 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  a 
  

   village 
  in 
  lirookhaven. 
  It 
  may 
  be 
  derived 
  from 
  appehhanog, 
  traps. 
  

  

  Ya~ta-mun-ti-ta-hege 
  river 
  was 
  west 
  of 
  Copiag 
  Neck.
