Mochgonneck-onck the name of his sachemdom in 1643, has not been identified further than that be was the owner of Cow Neck, now called Manhasset (Manhas'et), Queens County, the largest neck or point of land on the coast. Quaunontowunk, Quannotowonk, Konkhonganik and Konghonganoc, are forms of two distinct names applied respectively to the north and south ends of Fort Pond, as per deed for the tract known as "the Hither Woods purchase," which reads: "The name of the pond is Quaunontowunk on the nortlh and Konkhonganik on

the south." Dr. Tooker translated the former from Quaneunteowunk, (EHot), "Where the fence is," the reference being to a certain fence of lopped trees which existed on the north end of the pond/ and the latter from Kuhkunhungatmsh (Eliot), "bounds," " At the boundary place." The present name of the pond is from two Indian forts, one known as the Old Fort, on the west, and one known as the New Fort, on the east, the latter remaining in 1661, the former destroyed, the deed reading, "Where the Old Fort stood." Wyandanc^h,^ "the sachem of Manatacut," -- ^later called "The great sachem of Montauk" -- had his residence in the Old Fort. He was the first ruler of the Montauks known to the Dutch, his name appearing in 1637. (See Montauk.) Mastic, preserved as the name of a river and also as that of a village in Brookhaven, is of uncertain meaning. Wampmissic, the name of another village, is supposed to have been the name of a swamp -- Mass. Wompaskit, "At or in the swamp, or marsh." Poosepatuck, a place so called and now known as the Indian Reservation, back of Forge River at Mastick, probably means "On the other side," or "Beyond the river," from Azvossi, "Over, over there, on the other side, beyond," and -tuck, "Tidal river." Speonk, the name of a village in Southampton near East Bay, on an inlet of the ocean, to which flows through the village a small brook, has lost some of its letters.
