[Robert S. Grumet (2014)] York State Museum Record 5 March 2016 © 2016 The New York State Education Department Published in the United States of America NEW YORK AMAWALK Replace the first sentence of the entry on page 7 with: Whritenour thinks Appamaghpogh, the name of a place mentioned in the August 24 1683 Indian deed to land in the present-day town of Somers (in Robert Bolton 1881 1:86-87), sounds similar to the Munsee words *apaamaapoxkw, “rock here and there,” and *ahpeemaapoxkw, “upon the overlying rock.” Delete the sentence beginning “Ruttenber (1906a:34)... ” beginning the second paragraph APAWAMIS Insert this new entry between AMAWALK and AQUEHONGA on page 7: APAWAMIS (Westchester County). Apawamis first appeared as the name of a tract identified as Appawameis in the present-day city of Rye purchased from local Indians on November 8, 1661 (in Robert Bolton 1881 2:150-151). Today, the name Apawamis adorns a local street and a country club in the area. The long prominent Apawamis Golf and Country Club adopted the spelling of the name that initially appeared in Bolton’s county history. Apawamis Avenue, several miles farther east, is the location of the place where the club was first founded in 1890. The cachet generated by the club’s associations with major golf, squash, and tennis competitions, has resulted in its adoption as a residential street name in California and North Carolina. NORTHEAST PENNSYLVANIA CONASHAUGH New entry on between COCHECTON and EQUINUNK on page 8: CONASHAUGH (Pike County). Whritenour thinks that Coneshaw, an early spelling of the name (see below) sounds like a Munsee word *kwunahchuw, “long hill.” The name’s modern orthography presently graces a local road that crosses the upper reaches of its three mile-long namesake creek in Dingman Township. Situated just below the larger Raymondskill, Conashaugh Creek flows in the Delaware River midway between Namanock and Minisink islands. Most of the stream is located within the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area. Local tradition holds that Union Army deserters taking refuge in the area gave it the Cherokee Indian name of the Conasauga Valley (Bright 2004:117 suggests that the word comes from kanasega, “grass”) in the Georgia-Tennessee uplands where federal forces engaged Confederate units during the war (see Grumet 2013:199). Local historian Kurt Wolfskeil brought my attention to depositions made in
