[Robert S. Grumet (2014)] miles farther east claims to land in the province below a line running from the Raritan in 1759 (see Indian Mills below). Most, but not all, left New Jersey River westward to Lamington (see in New Jersey North above) and following the sale of Brotherton in 1801 by the time the New Jersey on to the Delaware Water Gap. In return, they agreed to accept a legislature passed an “act appointing commissioners to take in reservation established for them in the Pinelands at Edgepillock, charge the Coaxen Lands” on March 13, 1806 (State of New Jersey soon named Brotherton, in what is today called Indian Mills (New 1806:527).

The name later appeared in an Indian claim for land at “Hockanetcunk on Crosswicks” lodged at a meeting at Crosswicks held between February 20 and 23, 1758 (S. Smith 1765:443). Additional early spellings of the name appear in Zinkin (1976:90). HOCKHOCKSON (Monmouth County). Whritenour (in Boyd 2005:436) thinks that Hockhockson may represent Munsee words for “red cedar” or “little bottle gourd” (see Ho-Ho-Kus in New Jersey North above) followed by the locative suffix -ung, “place of.” The name of a brook, a swamp, and a park in the hamlet of Tinton Falls, Hockhockson was first mentioned as “a boggy meadow called by the Indians Hochoceung” in a deed to land in the area, signed on August 24, 1674 (New Jersey Archives, Liber 1:271[68]-270[69] on verso). Present-day Hockhockson Brook appeared as Hockocing River in the 1781 Hills map. (see in New York in Part 2) on Oneida land following Brotherton’s sale in 1801. The name Indian Mills currently graces a hamlet, its millpond, and several other places in and around former reservation lands originally inhabited by people whose descendants mostly live today in Wisconsin, Kansas, and Oklahoma. LAHAWAY (Monmouth and Ocean counties). Whritenour (in Boyd 2005:44) thinks that Lahaway most closely sounds like lechauwi, “forked,” a Northern Unami cognate of a similar- sounding Munsee word. Today, Lahaway Creek is a seven-mile-long stream that rises below the Lahaway Plantation Dam at Switlik Lake in Ocean County. Water passing over the dam’s spillway flows into and through Monmouth County south and west past Lahaway Hill to the stream’s junction with Crosswicks Creek (see above). The name first appeared in colonial records as the Lechwake tract sold in an Indian deed to land in the area dated April 20, 1699 (New Jersey Archives, Liber H:219-220). LENAPE (Atlantic, Burlington, Cumberland, Monmouth, Union, and Sussex counties). This Southern Unami Delaware Indian word for “Indian or Delaware person” today graces lakes, parks, schools, streets, and other places throughout New Jersey.
