History of the Indian Tribes of Hudson's River — Passage 41 (part 2)
[Edward Manning Ruttenber (1872)] Another village was located between the Sing-Sing creek and the Kitchawonck, or Croton river, and was called Kestaubuinck. Their lands are described in a deed to Frederick Phillipse, August 24, 1685, and were included in his manor. The grantors were Weskenane, Crawman, Wap-pus, Mamaunare and Weremenhore, who may or may not have been chiefs. 4th. The Kitchawongs^ or Kicktawancs. The territory of this chieftaincy appears to have extended from Croton river north to Anthony's Nose. Their principal village, Kitcha wonck, was at the mouth of the river which bears their name. They also had a village at Peekskill, which they called Sackhoes. Their castle or fort, which stood at the mouth of the Croton, is represented as one of the most formidable and ancient of the Indian fortresses south of the Highlands. Its precise location was at the entrance or neck of Teller's point (called Senasqua), and west of the cemetery of the Van Cortlandt family. Their burial ground was a short distance east of the castle; a roman tic and beautiful locality. The traditionary sachem of the chieftaincy was Croton. Metzewakes appears as sachem in 1641; Weskheun in 1685, and, in 1699, Sakama Wicker. There was apparently a division of the chieftaincy at one time, Kitchawong appearing as sachem of the village and castle on the Croton, and Sachus of the village of Sackhoes or Peekskill. Sirham was sachem of the latter in 1684.
