Wampanoag. Perhaps living at Sakonnet, Pokanoket or other lands adjacent to the areas called “Little Compton, Rhode Island,” and “Bristol, Rhode Island” by English colonizers. Thomas’s mark appears here on a 1674 deed where he served as interpreter for Awashonks whose mark also appears on this document (shared here in a much earlier post).
A “Thomas the interpreter” is also identified on a 1668 deed signed by Metacom and Tuspaquin.
This deed for Sakonnet land signed May 23, 1674. Seen @ Massachusetts Historical Society.

Rhode Island Lighthouses and a Surprise in Massachusetts
This was originally posted on my other blog Big Toe In The Wind on February 4, 2019, which was just before I started this blog.
I saw some lighthouses this weekend! I was in Rhode Island for a wedding and decided to revisit some lighthouses that I’d seen before to get better pics.
This is Borden Flats Lighthouse in Falls River, Massachusetts. A cute little puppy jumped on my leg here. I just happened to see it while driving over a bridge this time but I’m pretty sure I went the same way last time and totally missed it. I was working from a list of Rhode Island lighthouses and didn’t think about having to drive through MA to see more in RI.
This is Castle Hill Lighthouse in Newport, RI. Last time I went here it had snowed and I was afraid to approach this cliff knowing that it would be slippery.
This is Newport Harbor Lighthouse also known as Goat Harbor Lighthouse in Newport, RI. I didn’t get close to the lighthouse last time but made sure to this time.
They also had a goat there on Goat Island. lol
This is Rose Island Lighthouse in Newport, RI. I wasn’t necessarily planning on seeing this one because it was so far away from King Park where I saw it last time. This view was from Goat Island and I had left the telephoto lens in the car.
One day I’m going to go back and take one of the many lighthouse cruises to see it close up. There are so many that you either have to do the lighthouse cruise or take a ferry to see close.
This is Ida Lewis Yacht Club formerly known as Ida Lewis Lighthouse or Lime Rock Lighthouse in Newport, RI. I have been by here twice and still haven’t seen the actual light. Of course, it’s private property and the pier next to this one at King Park (where you can have the best view from land without being there) has a “No Trespassing” sign and some type supplies on it.
This is Plum Beach Lighthouse in Jamestown, RI. I took this pic completely not looking with my phone. I, of course, had to rotate and crop it so it looked like something. I’m pleased.
These are Dutch Island Lighthouse in Jamestown, Rhode Island, and Sakonnet Lighthouse in Middletown, Rhode Island. I went back to these because I brought my telephoto lens.
This is Pomham Rocks Lighthouse in Riverside, Rhode Island.
I got a great pic of the sun about to set here as well.
I finished up here at around 5 and my flight was at 7:30. So I took the chance to go to Iggy’s which was recommended by an Uber driver.
Added later:Â Looking at this map of my location history, I can see why I missed that lighthouse in Massachusetts last time. Last time I went to Bristol Ferry Lighthouse which completely bypassed Falls River.
Wampanoag, presumably of Sakonnet. Nompweenucoat’s homelands in the southeastern part of so-called Rhode Island; in and around the place now called “Little Compton.” Nompwoonucoat's mark appears among a host of co-signers to a deed transacted and also signed by Wampanoag sachem Awashonks, for “Sacconnott and the parts adjacent.”
Signed May, 1674. Seen at the Massachusetts Historical Society.

Presumably at home in Wampanoag homelands, at Sakonnet, near Narragansett Bay and Patuxet, in and around the place known today as Little Compton, Rhode Island. Posoonckcum’s mark appears here with the mark of Awashonks (shared in an earlier post) on a 1674 deed for Sakonnet land.
This document details one of many interactions Awashonks and her council had with colonizers in the lead up to King Philip’s War. Between 1671 and 1675, settlers made multiple attempts at usurping Awashonks’ authority at Sakonnet and denying the sovereignty of Wampanoag people (and in particular, Wampanoag women) there.
This deed signed May 23, 1674. Seen at the Massachusetts Historical Society.
Wampanoag. The son of Awashonks, great Sachem or Saunkskwa at Sakonnet. Samponock’s homelands on the east side of Narragansett Bay, across from Aquidneck Island, and in and around the place known today as “Little Compton, Rhode Island.” In this document, Samponock and his family (listed below) are identified as “chief Sachems of Succonot and parts adjacent…”
Sampoonock (also spelled Samponack)’s kin, with names spelled as they appear in the document itself: his mother, “Awawshonks.” His father “Wawwooyowwitt.” A brother, “Cunckochowitt alias Symon.”
Alternative name spellings include Awashonks, Wawayeenit and Cakawehunt, respectively.
This deed, for Sakonnet land, signed May 23, 1674. Seen at the Massachusetts Historical Society
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!
