Footprints of the Red Men: Indian Geographical Names — Passage 70
[Edward Manning Ruttenber (1906)] the chief may have resided. _Rombout_ (Dutch) means "Bull-fly." It could hardly have been the name of a run of water. Mistucky, the name of a small stream in the town of Warwick, has lost some of its letters. _Mishquawtucke_ (Nar.), would read, "Place of red cedars." Pochuck, given as the name of "A wild, rugged and romantic region" in Sussex County, N. J., to a creek near Goshen, and, modernly, to a place in Newburgh lying under the shadow of Muchhattoes Hill, is no doubt from _Putscheck_ (Len.), "A corner or repress," a retired or "out-of-the-way place." Eliot wrote _Poochag,_ in the Natick dialect, and Zeisberger, in the Minsi-Lenape, _Puts-cheek,_ which is certainly heard in Pochuck. Chouckhass, one of the Indian grantors of the Wawayanda tract, left his name to what is now called Chouck's Hill, in the town of Warwick. The land on which he lived and in which he was buried came into possession of Daniel Burt, an early settler, who gave decent sepulture to the bones of the chief.
