  from 
  the 
  early 
  part 
  of 
  the 
  18th 
  century, 
  and 
  that 
  the 
  name 
  means 
  

   place 
  where 
  the 
  fresh 
  water 
  falls 
  into 
  the 
  salt, 
  a 
  ledge 
  of 
  rocks 
  

   marking 
  the 
  division. 
  I 
  have 
  the 
  chief's 
  name 
  as 
  Mamarranack, 
  

   slightly 
  varying 
  from 
  Tooker's 
  form. 
  His 
  definition 
  is 
  probably 
  

   correct, 
  the 
  others 
  having 
  no 
  good 
  foundation. 
  

  

  Ma-man-as-quag 
  appears 
  in 
  a 
  Lewisboro

  of

  on

   northwest 
  corner 
  of 
  the 
  land 
  then 
  purchased, 
  and 
  on 
  the 
  outlet 
  of 
  

   Mamanasquag 
  pond.

  was

  Tooker 
  has 
  it 
  

   Maminketsuck, 
  a 
  stream 
  in 
  Pelham, 
  from

  suggest 
  other 
  meanings.

  a

  for 
  Ke-wigh- 
  

   ta-hagh 
  creek 
  in

  and

  is 
  Blackwell's

  Min-ne-wies, 
  for 
  Manursing 
  island, 
  has 
  been 
  defined 
  pine 
  island, 
  

   but 
  Tooker 
  says 
  it 
  was 
  called 
  Minnewits, 
  after 
  Peter 
  Minuit. 
  

  

  Mi-os-se-has-sa-ky 
  adds 
  an 
  adjective 
  to 
  Haseco, 
  making 
  it 
  great 
  

   fresh 
  meadow 
  or 
  marshy 
  land. 
  It 
  is 
  on 
  Byram 
  river, 
  adjoining 
  

   Haseco. 
  

  

  Mock-quams 
  is 
  now 
  Blind 
  Brook 
  in 
  Rye. 
  It 
  has 
  another 
  Indian 
  

   name 
  from 
  which 
  this 
  is 
  a 
  variant, 
  being 
  called 
  Moaquanes 
  in 
  1660. 
  

   It 
  seems 
  to 
  mean 
  something 
  rapidly 
  enlarging.

  may 
  be 
  rejected,

  the 
  meaning 
  of 
  

   wolf 
  retained 
  as 
  given 
  by 
  Champlain.
