Paempohut alias Joseph. his mark.
Presumably Wampanoag, their homelands at Nemasket and Assawompset (in the areas today called “Middleboro” and “Lakeville, Massachusetts”)
This document, identified as the last will and testament of “Pamontaquask the pond sachem” asserts that it was Pomontaquask’s desire that all the lands “at Assawamsett or elsewhere…” be transferred to “....tuspaquin alias the Black Sachem” and after tuspaquin’s death, onto “Soquontamouk alias William his son…”
Poemphut is a signer to the document, but is not mentioned in the text. Presumably, Poemphut had ties to Tuspaquin (who does not sign this document). After Pamontaquask’s death, Tuspaquin becomes sachem at Nemasket, and is married to Amie, daughter of Osamequin.
Signed October, 1668. Seen at the American Antiquarian Society.
