from Powells NC Gazetteer: Rockyhock ‹ community in central Chowan County. See Rockyhock Creek. Rockyhock Creek ‹ rises in central Chowan Co. and flows SW into Chowan River. Appears as Rakahak on Ogilby map, 1671, and Rockyhock on the Mosely map, 1733. Name may be derived from an Indian village, Ricahokene, on the e side of Perquimans River at Albemarle Sound. It may have meant "where combs [rakes] are made." Trish on 3/23/01 3:08 PM, Grace A.
