Shawaran. His Mark.
His home at Aspetuck, in so-called Fairfield, Connecticut, on the Saugatuck River.
Named in this document as an Indian and a Sachem, but without reference to his tribal nation (Here we will assume Paugussett, but invite readers to share more information if known!). 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.
