Continually on local maps since that time, Tappan should not be confused with other places sharing the same or UNQUA (Nassau County). Unqua Point, Unqua Lake, and Unqua slightly differently spelled versions of the name beyond the borders Road in the hamlet of Massapequa Park (see above) in Oyster Bay of the lower Hudson Valley. Although a few of these words may be perpetuate a navigational error made on Long Island Sound during imports marking some past association with a place bearing the colonial times. This mistake occurred when Onkeway Point (preDelaware Indian place name Tappan (see in Part 3), most are named sent-day Fairfield, Connecticut) was noted on the port rather than for non-Indians belonging to English families named Tappin, Tap- the starboard beam of a New York-bound vessel.

Whritenour thinks that Wepack, the earliest recorded form of modern-day Waccabuc, sounds like a Munsee word, xwupeek, “it is a lot of water.” Waccabuc currently is the name of a hamlet, a lake, a country club, a three-mile-long creek that flows from the lake to its junction with the Cross River, and nearby roads whose names are spelled Waccabuc and Waccabus. The first appearance of “Wepack or Long Pond so called” in colonial records occurred in the July 4, 1727, Indian deed to land in Ridgefield, Connecticut (Hurd 1881:636-637). Local entrepreneur Martin R. Mead resurrected the name when he built his Waccabuc House Hotel on Long Pond (soon renamed Waccabak Lake) just across the state line in New York in 1860. The name was subsequently adopted by the post office built nearby during the 1870s and by the country club established in 1912 on the site of Mead’s hotel, which had burned in 1896. WAMPUS (Westchester County). Wampus is the name of a lake, a river, a park, a school, and several other places located in and around Armonk (see above). The name was probably fixed onto Westchester County maps sometime before Robert Bolton (1881 1:362-363) published a transcript of the October 19, 1696, deed to land in the area signed by a sachem identified as Wampus in the first edition of his history in 1848. Today, Wampus Pond and 93 acres of shoreline fronting the lake are protected as parkland purchased by Westchester County from the City of New York in 1963. Wampus was almost certainly Wampage, a local sachem also identified as Wampasum and Wampegon in deeds documenting land sales in the area between 1651 and 1696. His other documented name was Ann Hook, a sobriquet long thought to be a trophy name that he adopted after killing Anne Hutchinson in 1642. While the name Ann Hook invoked Hutchinson’s memory, it was more likely taken from Anne’s Hoeck, a neck of land jutting into Eastchester Bay named for Hutchinson. Later called Pell’s Point and now known as Rodman’s Neck, the locale is the current site of the New York City Police Department training facility and firing range in Pelham Bay Park. Wampage’s connections, if any, with John Wampus, a Nipmuck émigré from Massachusetts who claimed land in modern-day Fairfield County, Connecticut, in 1671, currently are unclear. Town officials had the sachem, who signed the abovementioned 1696 deed, in mind when they chose the name Wampus to adorn their community. The particular spelling they selected, however, also evokes the image of the Wampus Cat, an infernal feline that still stalks imaginary woods in Cherokee and Appalachian Mountain folktales and adorns places as far afield as Idaho, Minnesota, Oregon, and Texas (see in Part 3) whose names have nothing
