Chapter VIII. Indian History


T WO Indian families-Iroquois and Algonquins-lived in our seetion, and this was especially their hunting grouml. The latter tribe were more numerous and the former more warlike In 160; they ravaged the Pa-comp-tucks and Squak-heags of the Connecticut Valley. They were called the Romans of the New World These families divided into various tribes from which the whites took deeds of the land Cut- to-was was owner of Agawam Chick- wallog alias Www.hil-low, Hlen-es-scha-lant, Nas-si-co-In. Re- unks, Pa-quah-a-hat and As.sel-la-quem-pasowned Northampton Chick-wal-lopp. Um-pam-chadla and Wamy-shaw, sachems of Vol-wo-toggs, owned Hadley I'm-pan-cha-la owned Hatfield. Alquot of Wo-por-noaks owned Westfield These latter were fa- mous for the number of beaver skins and other furs The Mohawks were a division of the Iroquois to which the Indians around us paid tribute The Senceas guarded the western shle Most of the Indians in our section were Algonquins and joined King Philip against the whites The Pequot Indians had their last village at West Chesterfield, near the gorge, and the last battle between the whites and the Indians was back of Mr Freeman's barn. The story is that over a hundred were left dead on the field.


This section was unsafe for settlement before 1749, and in our investigation we find that only once in a while the white man journeyed through these hills. It has been said that the Senecas made a raid and captured a white woman on Goffe (Goss) Hill and took her out to the western part of New York to their home, and that she became the wife of their chief She had a daughter, and when the opportunity came she took the child and escaped to her home .This is where the Indian woman by the name of Aunt Rhoda came from, it being her mother who was the Indian chief's daughter No Indian was allowed to use tobacco until he had made a name for himself ; and the men alone


planted it The women were not allowed to handle it in any way Would that it were so today. The Pequot War began in to;s. when two traders named Stone and Norton were murdered. then John Oldham in 1030. Thirty men from Windsor, fory- two from Hartford, eighteen from Wethersfield were in the war. The Indians in the eastern part of our State were called Mass-al-chu-sit, from whence the State takes its name


Before the plague which appeared here before 1020, making it possilde for the Pilgrims to land, the Indians numberel thirty to forty thousand. The deed of the Indians July 10, 1058, re .. ds as follows: " Lund the west side of Capaweng Brook, now called Mill River in Hatfield, south to the brock called Wunekcomiss comes out of Great Pend to upper side of the meadows called Mincommuck on the north and nine miles into the words " This reaches nearly to us, and probably the land of these hills w.is meluded in it. The Indians lived here in tuyo No go About 1745 the road was built from Northampton to Pittstiekl, and of course went through Worthington Southampton was attacked in 1704 In 1749 Elisha Clark and Noah Pixley were killed The above are a few of the more important facts that might be noted concerning the Indians of our section.

IRELAND STREET, CHESTERFIELD. Original grants : King Philip's War in 1075 had eight hundred and forty Massachusetts troops, and the General Court, June 30. 1732. granted seven tracts of land to the descendants, and this was called Narragansett's Grants Some of this land was too pour for settlement, and in 1736 the township was ordered to be lan out west of llatfiekl. In 1738 the township was laid out into about 23,640 acres. The exact number of aeres was uncertain. In 1781 Goshen was set off, and Chesterfield, then called New Hingham, had about 16,;48 acres. Chesterfield. incorporated June 11. 1762, hell its first town meeting July 20. 1,62. Ireland Street, laid out Dec 18, 1,62, was so named because its settlers were Irishmen. George Buck, the first settler, very near 1750. built his log house on lot No. 5. The well is still to be seen. 11is wife Grace had no children unless john and Samuel were born somewhere else. No record exists in Chesterfield He acquired a deed to his property by allowing it to be sold for taxes. In 1764 he acquired a title to lots No. 77. 78. 10. 17. 5.
