[Edward Manning Ruttenber (1906)] _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.
