Nescotack, a certain place so called in the Dongan deed of 1684, is referred to in connection with Shawongunk. It was granted by patent to Jacob Rutsen and described as "A tract of land by the Indians called Nescotack and by the Christians Guilford." (N. Y. Land Papers, 29, 30.) Guilford was known for many years as Guilford Church, immediately west of Shawongunk. The actual location of the name, however, is claimed for a hamlet now called Libertyville, further north, which was long known as Nescotack. The district is an extended ridge which rises gradually from the Shawongunk River-bottoms on the east and falls off on the west more abruptly. The name, probably, describes this ridge as "High lands," an equivalent of _Esquatak_ and _Eskwatack_ on the Upper Hudson; _Ashpotag,_ Mass., and Westchester Co. _Esp, Hesp, Ishp, Hesko, Nesco,_ etc., are record orthographies. (See Schodac and Shawongunk.) Wishauwemis, a place-name in Shawongunk, was translated by Rev. Dr. Scott, "The place of beeches," from _Schauwemi,_ "Beech wood"; but seems to be an equivalent of Moh. _Wesauwemisk,_ a species of oak with yellow bark used for dyeing. _Wisaminschi,_ "Yellow-wood tree." (Zeisb.) Wickquatennhonck, a place so called in patent to Jacobus Bruyn and Benj. Smedes, 1709, is described as "Land lying near a small hill called, in ye Indian tongue, Wickqutenhonck," in another paper Wickquatennhonck, "Land lying near the end of the hill." The name means, "At the end of the hill," from _Wequa,_ "End of"; _-ateune_ (_-achtenne,_ Zeisb.), "hill," and _-unk,_ "at." The location was near the end of what is still known as the Hoogte-berg (Hooge-berg, Dutch), a range of hills, where the proprietors located dwellings which remained many years. Wanaksink, a region of meadow and maize land in the Shawongunk district, was translated by Dr. Scott from _Winachk,_ "Sassafras" (Zeisb.); but _Wanachk_ may and probably does stand for _Wonachk,_ "The tip or extremity of anything," and _-sing_ means "Near," or less than. A piece of land that was near the end of a certain place or piece of land. It is not the word that is met in Wynogkee.
