INDIANS
The Indians, at their first settlement, performed many acts of
kindness towards them, (the settlers). The Indians instructed them in the
manner of planting and dressing the Indian corn. They carried them upon their
backs, through rivers and waters; and, as occasion required, served them
instead of boats and bridges. They gave them much useful information
respecting the country, and when the English or their children were lost in
the woods, and were in danger of perishing with hunger and cold, they
conducted them to their wigwams, fed them, and restored them to their
families and parents..” Benjamin

Many of the Indian names we are
familiar with today such as Paugaussett, Wepawaug, Pootatuck, and Weantick
were not tribal names but were "place-names" the early settlers
gave to lands the Indians used as temporary encampments. Confusion has often arisen in the spelling
of these place-names because many of the early settlers did not read or write
well and would write the Indian words as they sounded. Example of this can be found in the
original land deeds between the settlers and Indians as well as the books on
