dian settlement in the Journal of Arent Schuyler, in 1694, giving an account of his visit to the Minissinck country, in February of that year, in which the orthography is M agha gh-kaniieck , indicating very clearly that the original was Maghk-aghk-kamighk , a combination of Maghaghk, "Pumpkin,'' and -kamik, "Field," or place limited, where those vegetables were cultivated, and a place that was widely known evidently.^ The German missionaries wrote Machgack, "Pumpkin," and Captain John Smith, in his Virginia notes of 1620, wrote the same sound in Mahcawq. No mention is made of an Indian village here. If there was one it certainly was not visited by Arent Schuyler in 1694, as is shown by the general direction of his route, as well as by maps of Indian paths. To have visited Maghaghkamik in Orange County would have taken him many miles out of his way. Maghaghkamik Fork and Maghaghkamik Church lost those names many years ago, but the ancient name is still in use in some connections in Port Jervis, and most wretchedly spelled. Nepeneck, a boundmark so called in the Swartwout-Coddebeck Patent of 1697 -- Napenock, Napenack, Napenough, later forms -- given as the name of the western or southwestern bound of the Maghaghkamick tract, is described: "Beginning at the western bounds of the lands called Nepeneck." The place is presumed to have been at or near Carpenter's Point, on the Delaware, which at times is overflowed by water. It disappears here after 1697, but reappears in a similar situation some twenty miles north at the junction of the Sandberg and Rondout kills. It is probably a generic as in Nepeak, L. I., meaning, "Water land," or land overflowed by water, "Ncpenit 'In a place of water.' " (Trumbull.) Carpenter's Point or ancient Nepeneck, is the site of the famous Tri- States Rock, the boundmark of three states.
