Mochquams and Moagunanes are record forms of the name of Blind Brook, one of the bouudar\' streams of the tract called Penningo, which is described as lying "between Blind Brook and Byram River." (See Armonck.) Magopson and Mangopson are orthograpl-iies of the name given as that of De Lancey's Neck, described as "The great neck." (See Waumaniuck.) The dialect spoken in eastern Westchester seems to have been Quiripi (or Quininipiac), which prevailed near the Sound from New Haven west.

Armonck, claimed as the name of Byram 's River, was probably that of a fishing place. In 1649 the name of the stream is of record, "Called by the Indians Seweyruck.'' In the same record the land is called Haseco and a meadow Misosehasakey, interpreted by Dr. Trumbull, "Great fresh meadow," or low wet lands. Hasseco has no meaning; it is now assigned to Port Chester (Saw-Pits), and Misosehasakey to Horse Neck. Armonck has lost some of its letters. What is left of it indicates Amaug, "fishing place." (Trumbull's Indian Names.) "-Rye is from Rye, England. The derivative is Ripe (Latin), meaning, "The bank of a river." In French, "The sea-shore."

34 INDIAN GEOGRAPHICAL NAMES.

Eauketaupucason, the name written as that of the feature in the village of Rye known by the unpleasant English title of " Hog-pen Ridge," is, writes Mr. William R. Gerard, "Probably an equivalent of Lenape O gid-apuchk-essen, meaning, 'There is rock upon rock/ or one rock on another rock." Topography not ascertained. Manussing -- in will of Joseph Sherwood, Moiassink -- an island so called in the jurisdiction of Rye, may be an equivalent of Minassin-ink, "At a place of small stones," Minneweis, now City Island, is in the same jurisdiction. Mamaroneck, now so written as the name of a town in Westchester County, is of record, in 1644, Mamarrack and Mamarranack ; later, Mammaranock, Mamorinack, Mammarinickes (1662), primarily as that of a "Neck or parcel of land," but claimed to be from the name of an early sachem of the Kitchtawanks whose territory was called Kitchtawanuck.^ Wm.
