Captain Jacob Turkey his mark

Possibly Munsee, Paugussett or Schaghticoke (if our readers have more information, please let us know in the comments!). Jacob Turkey’s homelands in so-called southwestern Connecticut. This document signed for lands at the place today called Ridgefield, Connecticut, bounded to the east by so-called Danbury and to the north by so-called New Fairfield.

Jacob’s kin: his mother, Betty, whose mark we shared in a previous post.

This document signed December 19, 1739. Seen at the Newberry Library.
