2"Metewis= Black earth .- From this Metewis is an Indian Towne a day and a halfes Journey, or less (West, from the Massachusetts) called Metewemesick."-Roger Williams' "Key into the Language," Pg. 184.
This metewis was probably plumbago, and the town at or near Tan- tiusques.
3Wampam means literally, "white beads" (from wompi; white), though the term was applied to both the white and the dark beads used by the Indians for decoration and as a medium of exchange. When strung, or wrought into belts, they were called wampampeag (peag= strung beads); literally, "strings of white beads."
4" Wussuckwheke= A letter. Which they so call from Wussuckwhom- min; to paint; for, having no letters, their painting comes the neerest." -Roger Williams' "Key into the Language," Pg. 61.
5 Robert Cassaminon was a well known Pequot who acted as interpreter for John Winthrop in 1653 when he bought land of the sachem of Quinne- baug .- Larned's "Windham County," 1-6.
6This date is evidently an error of the recorder, as it is apparent that it should be 1644.
7It would seem at first as though this deed should, from its date, precede the foregoing one, but as the year ended with March, this date, according to modern reckoning, would be March 1, 1659.
These five deeds are followed (Liber W; Folio 55) by a long and inter- esting deed given by "John Winthrop, late of the Towne of New London and now of the Parish of Saint Mary Le Bone, in the county of Middlesex in Great Britain," to John Still Winthrop, late of New London, but then of Saint Mary Le Bone, eldest son and heir of John Winthrop. The deed is dated 1746; recorded June 24, 1752, and covers land in Massachusetts and Connecticut.

Notes to the Preceding Deed
NANOTUCK .- Other early forms of the word are Nawattocke, 1637; Nowottok, 1646; Nauwotak, 1648; Noatucke, 1654; Nanatuck, Nalwottoge, 1653; Nonatuke, 1653, 1655, 1658; Norwotake, Norwootuck, and Nor- wuttuck, 1657; Norwottock, 1659, 1660; Norwootucke, 1659; Norwotuck, 1661; Nowutague, 1664. Pynchon, who traded with the Indians, and knew them well, called it Nalwotogg, Nolwotogg and Norwotog.
Sylvester Judd, an unusually accurate historian, in his History of Hadley has translated this as "in the middle of the river," from the similarity of Nor-wott-uck to the Massachusetts noah-tuk (noeu-tuk), but this is entirely incorrect as it does not dispose of the other forms of the word, and noah- tuck means "the middle river" and not " in the middle of the river." Further- more, the natives did not live in the middle of the river. The land which became known as Nor-wott-uck was west of the river, and while they had
29
INDIAN DEEDS
planting grounds on the neck of land on the east side which has since become an island, yet it is inconceivable how anyone could consider even this to be "in the middle of the river."
Having in mind the statement of Roger Williams in 1643, that "the Cowweset say anum, the Narragansett say ayim, the Quinnippiac say arum, and the Nipmuck say alum, so that although some pronounce not l or r, yet it is most proper dialect of other places," then it is most natural to ally the different forms as follows:
Nan-ot-uck Non-ot-uck Nal-wott-oge Nol-wott-oge Nor-wott-ucke
It is very apparent that the third syllable in each of these forms is the same as the Massachusetts obke, Delaware aki, Abenaquis ki, signifying "land; ground; place." This usually appears in our local place-names as auke, aug, ock, and uck. In the first form of the word, the last syllable might perhaps be considered as tuck (river), but this is impossible, as tuck could not have become toge as it would then appear in the third and fourth forms.
In the last form, Nor-wott-ucke, the first two syllables are apparently synonomous with the Massachusetts nauwut, or Narragansett nauwot, meaning "far away," and the Algonquin nauwat, "out of reach." Assum- ing this to be correct, it makes Nor-wott-ucke to be "far away place." Non, nol, and nor are the same word, as used in different dialects, and show the interchange of the n, l and r.
"Far away land" was probably the name given to it by Indians living elsewhere, who told of it to the ultimate purchasers of the land, and perhaps acted as guides and interpreters in the transactions. This was the custom in the early days. When Pynchon came from Boston in 1636, and bought the land at Springfield of the Indians, they signified "that they understood all by Ahaughton, an Indian of the Massachusetts," who came with Pynchon as interpreter.
Nor-wott-ogg may perhaps have been the form used by the Springfield Indians in speaking of it. When the settlers went there they retained the name and perhaps the Indians about there could not say the word, but called it Nol-wott-oge. Heckwelder said of the Delawares, "they call the Quakers, Quakels, not having in their language the sound expressed by our letter r."
2 Minhan .- In the town records this word appears as Munhan. It is the island at the mouth of the Manhan river. This is literally Munnobban, "island."
3Saukwonk .- Saukrobonk, in the town records. Saukwonk means "at the outlet," that is the mouth of Manhan river below the island.
30
INDIAN DEEDS
4Capawonk .- Derived from the Algonquin kapahoweng, the participle form of kipahowe, and means "where the stream is shut in," indicating the two big points barring the river.
5Masquomp .- Appears in the town records as masquampe. From masqui, "red," and nipi, "water"; literally "red water."
6Quinackquck .- Quonackquck in the town records. Lunnunkque- uck, "high land."
7Pachuack-Algonquin pake-w-ack, a "turning off place." At a later date this place was known as Pascommock, which is from the Algonquin pakekamo, (Montagnais, paskamo), "the road forks," and with the termina- tion would mean "the place where the road forks."
8Petowwag .- From pitabowe-ag, "the land from where the water flows to us."
9Aspowunck .- Aspowounk in the town records. Asapiwan, "a place where nets are set."
1º Assattayyagg .- The Algonquin asati is poplar tree; in the plural asatiak; in the adjective form asataia. Thus asataia-agg means "poplar tree land."
II Nayyagg .- This may be neia-agg, "point of land"; or it may be neiak, "at the point."

I Pewongenung .- This is perhaps a corruption of Cappowonganick, but it is more probably from pawaagan; a "mill," as the river at this point came to be known as Mill River.
2Capawonk .- For derivation refer to note on page 30. A more definite location of Capawonk is given in a deed dated January 20, 1662, for a "Certaine tract of land lyeing on ye west side of River, called Cappowounk, bounded easterlie by a Riverlett running into ye greate River, South & East by ye greate River, North & West by ye Banke of upland fronting against ye sd land.

ITowunucksett .- Perhaps from towan, "a ball," and acksit, land, in the diminutive. More probably from tawa, root for "break in continuity"; nun, verbal adjective form for root, aki, "land," and sit, diminutive. It would then mean, "at the little land where there is a break (in the course of the stream)," that is, "place where the stream almost disconnects." Hence, it may by derivation mean a "ford." Modern name is Fort River.
2 Nepassooenegg .- Modern name is Mohawk Brook.
3 Kunckquachu .- Trumbull gives this as qununkqu-adchu, "high moun- tain." Modern name is Mount Toby.
4Sunmuckquommuck .- From sanak, a root word for "difficult, rough," and kamick, a termination referring to land in the locative case, which would give the meaning as "at the rough country," probably on account of the numerous brooks and hills.
5Noycoy .- Probably identical with the Algonquin noka, or Cree nokau, "it is soft," referring to the soil.
6Gassetk .- Agasatik, "the little wood, a place where the wood is small."
7Mattabaget .- Matabigat is an Algonquin expression meaning "the rock seeks the water."
8Wunnaqueckset .- From wanako, "at the end," and ack, "place"; with the termination sit for the diminutive in the locative case.
9Kunckkiunckqualluck .- Kinikiwanikwal-uck, "the rolling land; the upset land."
