  Ke-ke-shick 
  was 
  a 
  place 
  in 
  Yonkers, 
  and 
  was 
  called 
  Kekeskick 
  

   in 
  1639, 
  when 
  it 
  was 
  a 
  general 
  term 
  for 
  Yonkers. 
  Tooker 
  derives 
  

   this 
  from 
  ketchauke, 
  principal 
  or 
  greatest 
  place, 
  and 
  thought 
  there 
  

   was 
  a 
  stockade 
  there. 
  

  

  Ken-si-co 
  is 
  a 
  village 
  in 
  North 
  Castle. 
  

  

  Kes-kist-konck, 
  a 
  village 
  of 
  the 
  Nochpeems, 
  above 
  Anthony's 
  

   Nose. 
  Tooker 
  thinks 
  this 
  is 
  the 
  original 
  of 
  Kisko. 
  

  

  Kes-tau-bai-uck 
  or 
  Kastoninck 
  was 
  a 
  village 
  on 
  Van 
  der 
  Donck's 
  

   map, 
  and 
  Bolton 
  mentions 
  Kestanbauck 
  creek. 
  Tooker 
  writes 
  this 
  

   Kestaubnuck, 
  and 
  derives 
  it 
  from 
  Keche-tauppen-auke, 
  the 
  great 
  

   encampment. 
  , 
  

  

  Ke-wegh-teg-nack, 
  Kiwigtinock 
  and 
  Heweghtiqnack 
  are 
  names 
  

   for 
  an 
  elbow 
  of 
  Croton 
  river. 
  Tooker 
  derives 
  this 
  from 
  whquae- 
  

   tign-ack, 
  land 
  at 
  the 
  head 
  of 
  the 
  cove. 
  

  

  Kigh-to-wank 
  was 
  called 
  Knotrus 
  river 
  by 
  the 
  English 
  in 
  1682, 
  

   and 
  thence 
  may 
  have 
  come 
  the 
  name 
  of 
  Croton. 
  

  

  MountdCis-ko, 
  according 
  to 
  Tooker, 
  is 
  from 
  kishkituck-ock, 
  land 
  

   on 
  edge 
  of 
  a 
  creek, 
  for 
  the 
  Indian 
  village 
  was 
  thus 
  placed. 
  It 
  is 
  

   now 
  applied 
  to 
  a 
  village 
  on 
  the 
  west 
  border; 
  of 
  Bedford, 
  and 
  also 
  

   to 
  a 
  tributary 
  of 
  Croton 
  river. 
  Cisqua 
  and 
  Keskisko 
  are 
  variants 
  of 
  

   this 
  name. 
  

  

  Kith-a-wan 
  or 
  Kicktawank, 
  usually 
  defined 
  large 
  and 
  swift 
  cur- 
  

   rent, 
  is 
  Croton 
  river 
  near 
  the 
  Hudson. 
  Tooker 
  makes 
  it 
  a 
  wild, 
  

   dashing 
  stream, 
  from 
  kussi-tchuan. 
  Trumbull 
  defined 
  this 
  word, 
  

   it 
  Hows 
  in 
  a 
  rapid 
  stream 
  or 
  current. 
  It 
  was 
  called 
  Kightawonck 
  

   creek 
  in 
  a 
  deed 
  of 
  1699, 
  and 
  Kichtawangh 
  in 
  1663. 
  In 
  a 
  deed 
  of 
  

   1685 
  it 
  is 
  mentioned 
  as 
  a 
  " 
  creek 
  called 
  Kitchawan, 
  called 
  by 
  the 
  

   Indians 
  Sinksink." 
  

  

  There 
  was 
  a 
  Kitchawanc 
  also 
  in 
  Mamaroneck. 
  

  

  Kit-ta-ten-ny 
  is 
  a 
  name 
  applied 
  to 
  Anthony's 
  Nose 
  by 
  Ruttenber, 
  

   and 
  defined 
  by, 
  him 
  endless 
  hills, 
  more 
  properly 
  very 
  long. 
  Zeis- 
  

   berger 
  defines 
  kituteney 
  as 
  a 
  chief 
  town, 
  but 
  it 
  has 
  a 
  wide 
  applica- 
  

   tion. 
  

  

  Ki-wig-ti-gu. 
  Elbow, 
  on 
  Sauthier's 
  map, 
  is 
  on 
  Croton 
  river, 
  and 
  

   may 
  be 
  a 
  variant 
  of 
  Kitchawan, 
  but 
  is 
  probably 
  a 
  local 
  term. 
  

  

  The 
  Ko-a-mong
