Shawaran. His Mark.
His home at Aspetuck, in so-called Fairfield, Connecticut, on the Saugatuck River.Â

This land deed transfers land from Shawaran to Thomas Hopewell and his wife, Time, both also Native, living in so-called Windsor, Connecticut.
His kin: a father, Nem (spelled as written in the document).
Land deed recorded at Hartford, November 24, 1668. Seen at John Hay Library.Â
