Peter Pamshawt his marke.
Presumably Wampanoag and kin to Awashonks, whose homelands at Sakonnet include the place today called “Little Compton, Rhode Island.”
Peter Pamshawt’s name appears here alongside many others as co-signatories to a document dated May 23, 1674. The document, principally signed by Awashonks, details the dispossession of land from Sakonnet to white settlers.
So far, we’ve uncovered little-to-no additional information about Peter Pamshawt to be able to further contextualize his life. If you know more, feel free to share in the comments!
