Pocumtuck

Amoakisson, alias Nacogewallant, was the owner of a track of land at the northeast side of the Worrinoke River.  He and his wife mortgaged the property to Springfield's Thomas Cooper to secure a debt of twelve pounds in 1660. Amoakission later sold the property to Cooper in the fall of 1664.  Wright, Indian Deeds of Hampden County, 40-42.  36.  Alice Nash, "Quanquan's Mortgage of 1663," in Marla R.

Wallump was the son of Alquat, the sachem of the Woronoke and Pochassic.  Recorded deeds indicate that from 1669 to 1673, at least, he received and conveyed land within Pocomptuck territory.  In one instance he was sued by Thomas Cooper, but after hearing evidence in the matter, a jury found for Wallump, granting his the payment of his court costs, ten shillings.

Alquat (alias Keems) was the sachem of Woronoke and Pochassic, villages in the Pocumtuck confederacy.  He had at least one son, Wollump.  In 1669 Alquat sold several hundred acres of his territory, reserving seven acres for Wollump.  The following year, the father and son sold the seven acres to John Pynchon and Joseph Whiting in order to buy five acres of planting land.  Alquat disappears from the documentary record by 1673.  He may have died by then or relinquished his authority to his son.
