  As-ke-wa-en 
  has 
  its 
  name 
  from 
  an 
  undefined 
  personal 
  name. 
  

  

  As-o-qua-tah 
  mountain 
  was 
  in 
  Lewisboro 
  in 
  1708. 
  

  

  As-pe-tong 
  mountain 
  retains 
  its 
  name 
  and 
  is 
  northwest 
  of 
  Bed- 
  

   ford 
  village. 
  Tooker 
  derives 
  this 
  from 
  aspe, 
  to 
  raise 
  up, 
  while 
  

   ashpohtag 
  means 
  something 
  that 
  is 
  high. 
  

  

  As-sum-so-wis 
  was 
  a 
  place 
  in 
  Pelham, 
  and 
  Tooker 
  thought 
  it 
  a 
  

   personal 
  name. 
  

  

  Be-tuck-qua-pock 
  or 
  Dumpling 
  pond 
  was 
  originally 
  in 
  New 
  York, 
  

   and 
  is 
  on 
  Van 
  der 
  Donck's 
  map. 
  It 
  is 
  now 
  in 
  Greenwich, 
  Ct., 
  and 
  

   is 
  sometimes 
  written 
  Petuquapaen. 
  Tooker 
  thought 
  the 
  proper 
  form 
  

   was 
  Pituquapaug 
  or 
  round 
  pond. 
  

  

  Bis-sigh-tick 
  creek 
  was 
  on 
  the 
  north 
  side 
  of 
  some 
  land 
  bought 
  

   in 
  1682. 
  Tooker 
  derived 
  this 
  from 
  Pissigh-tuck, 
  muddy 
  creek. 
  

  

  Ca-no-pus 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  a 
  chief. 
  

  

  Can-ta-to-e 
  or 
  Katonah 
  is 
  sometimes 
  written 
  Cantitoe. 
  It 
  is 
  the 
  

   name 
  of 
  a 
  chief 
  of 
  1683, 
  and 
  is 
  applied 
  to 
  the 
  Jay 
  homestead. 
  It 
  

   is 
  also 
  written 
  Catonah, 
  and 
  may 
  be 
  derived 
  from 
  Ketatonah, 
  great 
  

   mountain. 
  

  

  Ca-ra-nas-ses 
  was 
  mentioned 
  by 
  Bolton. 
  

  

  Cay-way-west 
  or 
  Caquanost 
  was 
  a 
  neck 
  in 
  Mamaroneck, 
  bought 
  

   in 
  i66r. 
  The 
  first 
  name 
  may 
  be 
  from 
  koowa, 
  a 
  pine 
  tree, 
  while 
  the 
  

   last 
  resembles 
  caukoonash, 
  stockings. 
  

  

  Chap-pa-qua 
  pond, 
  hill, 
  springs 
  and 
  station 
  are 
  in 
  New 
  Castle 
  

   [see 
  Shappaqua]. 
  Tooker 
  made 
  it 
  a 
  boundary, 
  but 
  it 
  might 
  be 
  from 
  

   the 
  Delaware 
  word 
  scaphacki, 
  a 
  well 
  zvatered 
  land, 
  and 
  this 
  seems 
  

   better. 
  

  

  Cha-ti-e-mac. 
  In 
  the 
  Indian 
  in 
  his 
  Wigwam, 
  Schoolcraft 
  gives 
  

   this 
  name 
  to 
  the 
  lower 
  Hudson, 
  defining 
  it 
  stately 
  swan. 
  Usually 
  

   he 
  wrote 
  it 
  Shatemuc, 
  pelican 
  river 
  [see 
  Shatemuc]. 
  

  

  Cis-qua 
  creek 
  [see 
  Kisco]. 
  Tooker 
  says 
  this 
  does 
  not 
  mean 
  

   beaver 
  dam, 
  as 
  some 
  have 
  thought. 
  This 
  and 
  a 
  meadow 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  

   name 
  appear 
  in 
  an 
  Indian 
  deed 
  of 
  1700. 
  It 
  is 
  from 
  kishke, 
  by 
  the 
  

   side 
  of 
  anything. 
  

  

  Co-bo-mong, 
  written 
  also 
  Comonck 
  and 
  Cobamong, 
  has 
  been 
  

   applied 
  to 
  Byram 
  river, 
  and 
  is 
  partly 
  derived 
  from 
  amaug, 
  a 
  fish- 
  

   ing 
  place. 
  Tooker 
  says 
  that, 
  considered 
  as 
  a 
  boundary, 
  it 
  may 
  rep- 
  

   resent 
  Chaubun-kong-amaug, 
  boundary 
  fishing 
  place. 
  Scharf 
  says 
  

   the 
  district 
  about 
  Byram 
  lake 
  is 
  called 
  Cohemong, 
  which
