The locative is made specific in a grant to Thomas Lloyd in 1687;* in a grant to Severeign Tenhout in 1702,^ and iiij ^ "Land lying about six or seven miles beyond ye Town where ye Walloons dwell, upon ye same creek; ye name of ye place is Chauwanghungh and'^ Nescotack, two small parcels of land lying together." (N. Y. Land Papers, 29, 30.) ' "Comprehending all those lands, meadows and woods called Nescotack, Chawangon, to Memorasink, Kakogh, Getawanuck and Ghittatawah." (Deed' Gov. Dongan.) '"Beginning on the east side of the river (now Wallkill), and at the south end of a small island in the river, at the mouth of the river Chauwangung,. in the County of Ulster, laid out for James Graham and John Delaval." (N. Y. Land Papers, 38.) * "Description of a survey of 410 acres of land, called by the Indian name Chauwangung, laid out for Thomas Lloyd." (N. Y. Land Papers, 44.) ' N. Y. Land Papers, 60.

a description in 1709, "Adjoining Shawangung, Nescotack and the Palze." ^ In several other patent descriptions the locative is further identified by "near to" or "adjoining,"' and finally (1723) by "near the village of Showangunck," at which time the "village" consisted of the dwellings of Thomas Lloyd, on the north side of Shawangunk Kill ; Severeign Tenhout on the south side, and Jacobus Bruyn, Benjamin Smedes, and others, with a mill, at and around what was known later as the village of Tuthiltown. In 1744, Jacobus Bruyn was the owner of the Lloyd tract. ^ The distribution of the name over the district as a general locative is distinctly traceable from this center. It was never the name of the mountain, nor of the stream, and it should be distinctly understood that it does not appear in Kregier's Journal of the Second Esopus War, nor in any record prior to 1684, and could not have been that of any place other than that distinctly named in Governor Dongan's deed and in Lloyd's Patent.
