conclusion.
1. It is agreed between the commissioners of the United Colonies and the Narragansett and
Nyantick sagamores, that the latter shall pay or cause to be paid at Boston, to the Massachusetts
commissioners, the full sum of 2000 fathom of good white wampum, or a third part of black
wampum, in four payments; namely, 500 fathom within 20 days, 500 fathom within four months,
500 fathom at or before next corn planting time, and 500 fathom within two years from the date
of these presents; which 2000 fathom the commissioners accept as satisfaction for former
expenses defrayed.
2. The aforesaid sagamores and deputy, on behalf of the Narragansett and Nyantick Indians,
hereby promise and covenant that upon demand and proof they will restore to Uncas, the
Monhigg sagamore, all captives both men, women, and children; all canoes, which they or any of
their men have taken, or as many Narragansett canoes, in good condition, in place of them; and
will give full satisfaction for all such corn as they or any of their men have destroyed of his or his
men’s, since last planting time; and the English commissioners hereby promise that Uncas shall
do likewise.
3. Whereas there are various disputes and grievances between the Narragansett and Nyantick
Indians, and Uncas and his men, which in the absence of Uncas cannot now be determined, it is
hereby agreed that the Narragansett and Nyantick sagamores, either come themselves, or send
their deputies, to the meeting of the commissioners for the Colonies, either at New Haven in
September, 1646,—or sooner, upon due notice, if the said commissioners meet sooner,—fully
instructed to make due proof of their injuries, and to submit to the judgment of the
commissioners in giving or receiving satisfaction; and the said commissioners, not doubting but
Uncas will either come himself or send his deputies, promise to give full hearing to both parties
impartially, according to their allegations and proofs.
4. The said Narragansett and Nyantick sagamores and deputies do hereby promise and
covenant to maintain a firm and perpetual peace, both with all the English United Colonies and
their successors, and with Uncas the Monhigg sachem and his men; with Ossamequine, Pumham,
Sokanoke, Cutshamakin, Shoanan, Passaconaway, and all other sagamores and their tribes who
are in friendship with or subject to any of the English; hereby engaging themselves, that they will
not at any time hereafter, disturb the peace of the country by any attacks, hostile attempts,
invasions, or other injuries to any of the United Colonies or their successors, or to the aforesaid
Indians, either in their persons, buildings, cattle, or goods, directly or indirectly; nor will they
combine with any other enemy against them; and if they know of any Indians or others who are
conspiring or intend harm to the said English, or any Indians subject to or in friendship with
them, they will without delay acquaint and give notice thereof to the English commissioners, or
some of them. Or if any questions or disputes shall at any time hereafter arise between them and
Uncas, or any Indians mentioned above, they will, according to former engagements which they
hereby confirm and ratify, first acquaint the English, and request their judgment and advice
therein, and will not attempt or begin any war or hostile invasion, till they have liberty and
permission from the Commissioners of the United Colonies so to do.
5. The said Narragansett and Nyantick sagamores and deputies do hereby promise that they
will forthwith deliver and restore all such Indian fugitives or captives as have at any time fled
from the English, and are now living among them, or give due satisfaction for them to the
commissioners for Massachusetts; and further, that they will without delay pay or cause to be
paid, a yearly tribute, a month before harvest, every year after this, at Boston, to the English
Colonies, for all such Pequots as live among them, according to the former treaty and agreement
made at Hartford, 1638, namely one fathom of white wampum for every Pequot man, and half a
fathom for each Pequot youth, and one hand length for each male child; and if Weequashcooke
refuse to pay this tribute for any Pequots with him, the Narragansett sagamores promise to assist
the English against him. And they further undertake that they will resign and yield up the whole
Pequot country, and every part of it, to the English Colonies, as due to them by conquest.
6. The said Narragansett and Nyantick sagamores and deputy do hereby promise and covenant
that within 14 days, they will bring and deliver to the Massachusetts commissioners on behalf of
the Colonies, four of their children, viz., the eldest son of Pessecuss, the son of Tassaquanawite,
the brother of Pessecuss, the son of Awashawe, and the son of Ewangso, a Nyantick, to be kept as
hostages or pledges by the English, till the aforementioned 2000 fathom of wampum has been
paid at the times appointed, and the differences between themselves and Uncas have been heard
and settled, and until these articles have been underwritten at Boston by Jenemo and Wipetock.
And further, they hereby promise and covenant, that if at any time hereafter any of the said
children shall escape or be taken away from the English, before the promises be fully
accomplished, they will either bring back and deliver to the Massachusetts commissioners the
same children, or if they cannot be found, such and so many other children as shall be chosen by
the commissioners for the United Colonies, or their assigns, within twenty days after demand;
and in the meantime, until the said four children be delivered as hostages, the Narragansett and
Nyantick sagamores and deputy do freely and of their own accord leave with the Massachusetts
commissioners, as pledges for present security, four Indians, viz., Weetowish, Pummunish,
Jawashoe, Waughwamino, who also freely consent and offer themselves to stay as pledges, till
the aforesaid children are delivered.
7. The commissioners for the United Colonies do hereby promise and agree that the four
Indians now left as pledges shall be provided for at the expense of the United Colonies, and that
the four children to be delivered as hostages shall be kept and maintained at the same expense;
that they will require Uncas and his men, with all other Indian sagamores before named, to
forbear all acts of hostility against the Narragansett and Nyantick Indians for the future, and
further, all the promises being duly observed and kept by the Narragansetts and Nyanticks and
their tribes, they will at the end of the two years restore the said children delivered as hostages,
and maintain a firm peace with the Narragansett and Nyantick Indians and their successors.
8. It is fully agreed by and between the said parties, that if any hostile attempts be made while
this treaty is in hand, or before notice of this agreement can be given, such attempts and the
consequences thereof shall on neither part be counted a violation of this treaty, nor a breach of the
peace here made and concluded.
9. The Narragansett and Nyantick sagamores and deputy hereby agree and covenant to and
with the commissioners of the United Colonies, that henceforth they will neither give, grant, sell,
nor in any way alienate, any part of their country, nor any parcel of land therein, to any of the
English or others, without consent and permission of the commissioners.
10. Lastly they promise that if any Pequot or other Indians be found among them who have in
time of peace murdered any of the English, they shall be delivered to just punishment.
In witness whereof the parties above named have interchangeably subscribed these presents,
the day and year above written.

About the middle of May this year, three men of war entered the
harbour. The Captain’s name was Thomas Cromwell, and he had
captured several prizes from the Spaniards in the West Indies. He had a
commission from the Earl of Warwick. Aboard his vessel were about 80
strong young fellows, but very unruly, who, when they came ashore, so
distempered themselves with drink that they became like madmen; and
though some of them were punished and imprisoned, they could hardly
be restrained; but in the end they became more moderate and orderly.
They remained here about a month or six weeks, then going on to
Massachusetts; in the meantime scattering a great deal of money among
the people,—and even more sin than money, I fear, notwithstanding all
the care taken to prevent it.
While they were here a sad accident occurred. One desperate fellow
amongst them started wrangling with some of his comrades. Captain
Cromwell commanded him to be quiet and cease his quarreling; but he
would not, and reviled him with bad language, and in the end half drew
his rapier intending to run at him; but the captain closed with him and
snatched the rapier from him and gave him a box on the ear; even then
he would not give over, but continued to assault him. Whereupon the
Captain gave him a blow with the hilt of the rapier, just as it was in the
scabbard. It chanced to hit his head, and the small end of the bar of the
rapier-hilt piercing his skull, he died a few days after. But the captain
was exonerated by court martial, for it appeared that the fellow was so
quarrelsome that he had several times been chained under hatches to
prevent him from hurting his comrades, to which they testified.
This Captain Cromwell made another voyage to the West Indies from
the Bay of Massachusetts, well manned and provisioned. He was out
three years and took many prizes, and returned rich to Massachusetts.
The same summer he had a fall from his horse; he fell on his rapier hilt,
and bruised himself so badly that he died shortly after. It was remarked
by some that this might show the hand of God, and that as one of his
men had died of the blow he gave him with the rapier hilt, so his own
death was caused by similar means.
This year Mr. Edward Winslow went to England. Some discontented
persons in Massachusetts had endeavoured to disturb the peace, and to
undermine if not upset their government, by uttering many slanders
about them, and even intended to prosecute them in England by
petitioning and complaining to Parliament. Samuel Gorton and his
people also made complaints against them. So they chose Mr. Winslow,
as their agent, to defend them, and gave him commission and
instructions to that end. He managed things so well for them that he
cleared them of all blame and dishonour, and disgraced their opponents.
But owing to the great upheavals in the government there, he was
detained longer than was expected, and later he met with other
employments there, so that he has now been absent for four years, which
has been much to the loss of this government.
The names of those who came over first in the Mayflower, in the
year 1620 and were by the blessing of God the first beginners
and founders of the Settlements and Colonies of New England,
with their families: written down A. D. 1650.
WILLIAM BREWSTER; Mary, his wife; two sons, Love and Wrestling;
a boy in his charge called Richard More, and another of his
brothers.
The rest of his children were left behind, and came over
afterwards. Mr. Brewster lived here 23 or 24 years, being about 80
when he died. His wife died some time before. Wrestling died
unmarried. Love had four children, and died in 1650. The eldest
son, who came after, had nine children, and is still living; and the
daughters, who came with him, married, and are dead. The brother
of Richard More died the first winter. Richard married and has four
or five children.
RICHARD WARREN.
His wife and four daughters were left behind and came
afterwards, and two more were born here. Mr. Warren lived some
four or five years here.
JOHN BILLINGTON; Ellen, his wife; two sons, John and Francis.
Billington was executed after he had been here ten years. His eldest
son died before him; his second is married.
JOHN ALDEN.
Mr. Alden was hired at Southampton as a cooper. Being a likely
young man, he was desirable as a settler; but it was left to his own
choice to stay here or return to England; he stayed, and married
Priscilla Mullins (see above).
Of these 100 or so of persons who came over first, more than half died
in the first general sickness. Of those that remained, some were too old
to have children. Nevertheless in those thirty years there have sprung up
from that stock over 160 persons now living in this year 1650; and of the
old stock itself nearly thirty persons still survive. Let the Lord have the
praise, Who is the High Preserver of men.
