  applied 
  to 
  Shappequa 
  hills. 
  Chappaqua 
  is 
  a 
  variant. 
  Tooker 
  de- 
  

   fined 
  it 
  as 
  a 
  boundary 
  or 
  place 
  of 
  separation, 
  which 
  is 
  the 
  meaning 
  

   of 
  chadchapunttm. 
  Bolton 
  said 
  it 
  meant 
  " 
  a 
  vegetable 
  root." 
  In 
  

   this 
  case 
  it 
  might 
  be 
  from 
  tschuppic, 
  called 
  "Aaron 
  root 
  " 
  by 
  Zeis- 
  

   berger. 
  Chipohke, 
  unoccupied 
  land, 
  sounds 
  much 
  like 
  this 
  name, 
  

   and 
  seems 
  as 
  good 
  a 
  derivation 
  as 
  those 
  mentioned, 
  if 
  not 
  very 
  

   much 
  better. 
  

  

  Sha-te'-muc 
  was 
  a 
  name 
  for 
  the 
  lower 
  Hudson, 
  and 
  Schoolcraft 
  

   defined 
  this 
  Pelican 
  river, 
  from 
  shata, 
  a. 
  pelican, 
  though 
  he 
  did 
  not 
  

   know 
  of 
  this 
  bird 
  there. 
  It 
  does, 
  however, 
  occur 
  far 
  inland 
  in 
  

   New 
  York. 
  He 
  afterward 
  made 
  it 
  mean 
  the 
  stately 
  szvan. 
  Wash- 
  

   ington 
  Irving 
  seems 
  to 
  have 
  first 
  used 
  the 
  name 
  in 
  print. 
  

  

  Shin-ga-ba-wos-sins 
  was 
  defined 
  by 
  Tooker 
  as 
  a

   stones. 
  Other

  might

  Ship-pam 
  is 
  New 
  Rochelle 
  and 
  was 
  mentioned 
  in 
  1640. 
  Tooker 
  

   thought 
  this 
  a 
  personal 
  name, 
  derived 
  from 
  keechepam 
  or 
  shore. 
  

  

  Sho-rack-ap-pock, 
  the 
  junction 
  of 
  Spuyten 
  Duyvil 
  creek 
  with 
  

   the 
  Hudson. 
  In 
  the 
  manor 
  grant 
  of 
  Philipseborough 
  the 
  creek 
  is 
  

   called 
  " 
  the 
  kill 
  Shorackkapock," 
  forming 
  part 
  o<f 
  the 
  south 
  line. 
  

   Tooker 
  places 
  the 
  name 
  at 
  the 
  outlet, 
  writing 
  it 
  Shorakapkock, 
  and 
  

   defining 
  it 
  as 
  far 
  as 
  the 
  sitting 
  down 
  place 
  or 
  portage. 
  The 
  need 
  

   of 
  a 
  portage 
  is 
  not 
  clear. 
  

  

  Sick-ham,

  Sigg-hes 
  was 
  a 
  great 
  boulder 
  and 
  landmark 
  in

  In 
  

   one

  it 
  is 
  mentioned 
  as 
  " 
  a 
  great 
  rock 
  called 
  by 
  the 
  Indians 
  

   Sigghes." 
  It 
  was 
  also 
  called 
  Meghkeekassin, 
  the 
  great 
  stone. 
  

   Tooker 
  derives 
  it 
  from 
  siogke-ompsk-it, 
  at 
  the 
  hard 
  rock.

  Sint 
  Sinck

  East
