History of the Indian Tribes of Hudson's River — Passage 37 (part 2)
[Edward Manning Ruttenber (1872)] On the south side of Wappinger's kill he locates three villages under the general name of Waoranecks, and |ibove them and occupying both sides of the river south of the " Groote Esopus R.," he places the Wappingers. On the west side he locates the Neve-Sincks opposite Staten Island, then the Raritans; opposite Manhattan Island, Haverstroo; below Verdrietigehoeck, the Tappans; between Murderer's creek and the Dans-Kammer, the Waranwankongs '; then the Wappingers, and west of the Esopus, the general title of " Min-nessinck of te 1'Landt von Bacham." Were the question of location left to these writers and to the early maps, the inquiry might well be abandoned as hopeless.
