Great John his mark

Nipmuc. His homelands in and around Natick in so-called “Massachusetts.” Great John adds his mark to this document alongside several other Nipmucs, including Waban, Andrew Pitteme, Piambo and Awasamaug, who identify themselves as “Indian Natives and natural Descendants of the ancient Inhabitants and proprietors of the Lands lying in and about the Town of Sherborn…” The document goes on to outline the exchange of more than 2000 acres of land “more or less” at so-called Sherborn, Massachusetts (south of Framingham) for “five and twenty pounds of currant money…”

Great John’s mark can be found on other documents from the period that contest the sale of other lands across Nipnet, or Nipmuc Country, nearby to his home at Natick.

Abraham Speen his mark

Nipmuc. A Christian Indian and proprietor at Natick. Speen’s mark appears here on a petition signed by several Christian Indians at Natick dated May 31, 1699. The petition states that several Natives from the area had been removed from their comminutes and not returned, or had since died following King Philip’s War The native petitioners assert that though many have been “sojourning among the English for their support”’ their community was now impoverished and diminished in number. The group of over a dozen Propriters at Natick offer to exchange a portion of land at Natick (200 acres) for support to build a new meetinghouse where the remaining community can come together (“our meeting house where wee were wont constantly to meet …has fallen downe and we are not able to build us another…”).
