Eaquorisink is of record as the name of Crom Elbow Creek, and _Eaquaquanessìnck_ as that of lands on the Hudson, in patent to Henry Beekman, the boundary of which ran from the Hudson "east by the side of a fresh meadow called _Mansakìn_ [FN-1] and a small run of water called _Mancapawìmick._" In patent to Peter Falconier the land is called Eaquaquaannessìnck, the meadow Mansakin, the small creek Nanacopaconick, and Crom Elbow (Krom Elleboog, Dutch, '"crooked elbow'") Creek. Eaquarysink is a compression of Eaquaquaannessinck. It was not the name of the creek, but located the boundmark "as far as the small creek." The composition is the equivalent of _Wequa,_ [FN-2] "end of"; _annes,_ "small stream," and _ink,_ "at," "to," etc. * * * * * [FN-1] "A meadow or marsh land called Manjakan," is an equivalent record in Ulster County. (Cal. N. Y. Land Papers, 133.) "A fresh meadow," _i. e._ a fresh water meadow, or low lands by the side of the creek. [FN-2] Enaughqua, L. I.; _Yò anûck quaque,_ Williams; _Wequa, Weque, Aqua, Ukwe, Echqu,_ etc., "end of." The word is met in many forms. _Wehque,_ "as far as." (Eliot.) Wawyachtanock, Indian deed to Robert Livingston, 1685; _Wawyachtanock, Wawijachtanock, Wawigachtanock_ in Livingston Patent and _Watwijachtonocks_ in association with "The Indians of the Long Reach" (Doc. Hist. N. Y., 93, 97), is given as the name of a place--"The path that leads to Wawyachtenock." In a petition for permission to purchase, in 1702 (Col. Land Papers, 58), the description reads: "A tract of land lying to the westward of Westenhoeks Creek [FN-1] and to ye eastward of Poghkeepsie, called by ye Indians _Wayaughtanock._" It is presumed that the locative of the name is now known as Union Corners, Duchess County, where Krom Elleboog Creek, after flowing southwesterly, turns at nearly a right angle and flows west to the Hudson, which it reaches in a narrow channel between bluffs, a little south of Krom Elbow Point, where a bend in the Hudson forms the north end of the Long Reach. The first word of the name is from _Wawai,_ "Round about," "Winding around," "eddying," as a current in a bend of a river. The second, _-tan, -ten, -ton_ means "current," by metonymie, "river," and _ock,_ means "land" or place--"A bend-of-the-river place." The same name is met in Wawiachtanos, in the Ohio country, [FN-2] and the prefix in many places. (See Wawayanda.) * * * * *
