Appamaghpogh, now _Amawalk,_ seems to have been extended to a tract of land without specific location. It is presumed to have been the name of a fishing place on what is now known as Mohegan Lake _Appéh-ama-paug,_ "Trap fishing place," or pond. _Amawalk,_ is from _Nam'e-auke,_ "Fishing-place," (Trumbull.) In the Massachusetts dialect _-pogh_ stands for "pond," or water-place. Keskistkonck, Pasquasheck, and Nochpeem are noted on Van der Donck's map in the Highlands. In Colonial History is the entry (1644), "Mongochkonnome and Papenaharrow, chiefs of Wiquseskkack and Nochpeems." On the east side of the river, apparently about opposite the Donderberg, is located, on early maps, the _Pachimi,_ who, in turn, are associated in records with the _Tankitekes._ Pacham is given as the name of a noted chief of the early period. His clan was probably the Pachimi. Keskistkonck was a living name as late as 1663, but disappears after that date. "The Kiskightkoncks, who have no chief now, but are counted among the foregoing savages." (Col. Hist. N. Y., xiii, 303.) Sachus, Sachoes and Sackoack are quoted as names of Peekskill, and _Magrigaries_ as the name of the stream. The latter is an orthography of _MacGregorie's,_ from Hugh MacGregorie, an owner of lands on the stream. [FN-1] Though quoted as the name of Peak's Kill, it was the name given to a small creek south of that stream, as per map of 1776. _Sachus_ and _Sachoes_ are equivalents, and probably refer to the mouth or outlet of the small or MacGregorie's Creek--_Sakoes_ or _Saukoes._ _Sackonck_ has substantially the same meaning--_Sakunk,_ "At the mouth or outlet of a creek or river." There was, however, a resident sachem who was called _Sachoes,_ probably from his place of residence, but which can be read "Black Kettle," from _Suckeu,_ "black," and _ōōs,_ "kettle." Peekskill is modern from Peak's Kill, so called from Jan Peak, [FN-2] the founder of the settlement. The Indian name of the stream is noted, in deed of 1695, "Called by the Indians _Paquintuk,_" probably an equivalent of _Pokqueantuk,_ "A broad, open place in a tidal river or estuary." Peekskill Bay was probably referred to. (See Sackonck.) * * * * * [FN-1] Hugh MacGregorie was son of Major Patrick MacGregorie, the first settler in the present county of Orange. He was killed in the Leisler rebellion in New York in 1691. The son, Hugh, and his mother, were granted 1500 acres of land "At a place called John Peaches creek." No fees were charged for the patent out of respect for the memory of Major MacGregorie, as he then had "lately died in His Majesty's service in defence of the Province." (Doc. Hist. N. Y., ii, 364.) MacGregories sold to Van Cortlandt in 1696. [FN-2] Peake, an orthography of _Peak,_ English; Dutch, _Piek_; pronounced _Pek_ (_e_ as _e_ in wet); English, _Pek_ or _Peck._
