[Edward Manning Ruttenber (1906)] Mattatuck, Ct., written Matetacoke, 1637, Matitacoocke, 1673, which was translated by Dr. Trumbull from Eliot's _Mat-uh'tugh-auke,_ "A place without wood," or badly wooded. (See Titicus.) Cutchogue, Plymouth Records, 1637; "_Curchaug,_ or Fort Neck;" _Corch'aki,_ deed of 1648; now Cutchogue, a village in Southold, in the vicinity of which was an Indian fort, the remains of which and of an Indian burial ground are objects of interest, is probably a corruption of _Maskutchoung,_ which see. Dr. Tooker translated from _Kehti-auke,_ "The principal place," the appositeness of which is not strikingly apparent. The clan bearing the name was party to the treaty with the Massachusetts people in 1637, and to the sale of the East Hampton lands. Their earliest sachem was Momoweta, who acknowledged the primacy of Wyandanch. Tuckahoe, a level tract of land near Southampton village, takes that name from one or the other of the larger "round" roots (Mass. _P'tuckweōō_), possibly the Golden Club, or Floating Artmi, a root described "as much of the bigness and taste of potatoes." (Trumbull.) [FN] The same name is met in Westchester County. * * * * * [FN] Dr. Brinton writes: "They also roasted and ate the acrid cormus of the Indian turnip, in Delaware _taw-ho, taw-hin_ or _tuck-ah,_ and collected the seeds of the Golden Club, common in the pools along the creeks and rivers.
