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.

The reading in one record, "Three stripes or strips of land," seems to indicate that the name was descriptive of the necks or strips of land. (See Waumaniuck.) Waumaniuck and Maumaniuck, forms of the name of record as that of the eastern part of De Lancey's Neck, or Seaman's Point, Westchester County, as stated in the Indian deed of 1661, which conveyed to one John Richbell "three necks of land," described as "Btounded on the east by Mamaroneck River, and on the west y Gravelly or Stony Brook" "(Cal. N. Y. Land Papers, 5), the latter by the Indians called Pockotesse-wacke, oame to be known as Mamaraneck Neck, otlierwisc described as "The great neck of land at Mamaroneck."
