Sources

1. ↑ Other Minisink area records refer to Sindeyaequan and Sidneyaequan, which is probably the same place. There is no village of this name in the area today. However, there are many historic place names in the Minisink area that do not correspond to modern place names. In the early 1700s, the name Minisink often referred to a large area, not a discrete village or town. See Minisink Valley region.
