The Penobscot language contains several words which are undoubtedly of Wampanoag or Narragansett origin. This tribe regard Warren, R. I., as the former home of Massasoit. They translate the word Sowams, “Place of the Setting Sun.” WANNAMOISETT. The northern part of Barrington extending into Seekonk, and including Bullock’s Point and Riverside. It was purchased of the Indians by John Brown, 1645. Became a part of Swansea, 1668. CHACHACUST. The neck of land lying between Barrington and Warren, or Palmer’s Rivers. Called by the English, New Meadow Neck, or the New Meadows. Under the date December 7, 1647, the “New Meadows” are referred to, in the Plymouth Records, as being “on the west side of Sowams River” which proves that Sowams River and Warren River are identical. King Philip claimed that a portion of Chachacust was not included in the sale of “Sowams and Parts Adjacent,” and the English purchased his right in 1668. POPANOMSCUT. The southerly section of Barrington. It was called by the English “Phebe’s Neck,” and appears to have been the abode of Pebee, or Thebe, a petty Wampanoag sachem, and one of Philip’s counsellors. Thebe was killed by the English July 2, 1675. At the close of Philip’s war Plymouth Colony claimed Popanomscut as “conquered land,” but the Sowams’ proprietors succeeded in establishing their right to the tract under the provisions of the “Grand Deed of Saile” of “Sowams and Parts Adjacent.” In Roger Williams’ “Key” occurs the word “paponaumsuog” which is thus defined: “A winter fish which comes up in the brooks and rivulets; some call them frost fish from their coming up from the sea into fresh brooks in time of frost and snow.” Every one familar with Warren River is aware of the fact that, with the arrival of cold weather, great quantities of frost fish appear in its waters, swarming close to both the Barrington and Warren shores. The similarity of the two words “Popanomscut” and “paponaumsuog” suggests the question: May not the former word have been derived from the latter, and may not its meaning be “place of frost fish” or something of similar signification? Popanomscut was laid out and divided among the proprietors between 1676 and 1680. CHACHAPACASET. Rumstick Neck in Barrington. The name Rumstick was applied to the neck in 1697, and at first only to a locality as “Rumstick on Chachapacaset.” Some authorities believe the word Rumstick to be of Norse origin. NAYATT. The south-west point of Barrington. MOSCACHUCK CREEK. It runs from the brickyard at Nayatt into Narragansett Bay. ANNAWOMSCOTT. That section of Barrington now known as Drownville. SCAMSCAMMUCK SPRING. Located at the upper end of Chachapacasset. MOSSKITUASH CREEK. This flows into Bullock’s Cove at Riverside. POPPASQUASH NECK. Poppasquash, though originally used to indicate the entire western part of Bristol, is now only applied to a small peninsula surrounded by the waters of Bristol harbor on the east and Narragansett Bay on the west.
