Mascus

The grandson of Narragansett Sachem Weesoum and Keshkechoo, Mascus was the younger brother of Canonicus I.  Mascus had a daughter and four sons: Mecumah (Miantonomo), Yotash, Pessicus, and Cojonquant.  Chapin posits that Mascus may have been the real power in Narragansett Country up until his death in the 1620s.  Under his leadership, Narragansett authority extended to the north of Ousamequin's territory to Weymouth, the Blackstone River, and as far north as Mount Wachusett.  Chapin, Sachems of the Narragansett, 8, 9, 53, 109.
