Biography

Note: Although her profile has Amie as the first name at birth, it is most likely not her first name at birth. This might be a name given to her by the English and her original native name lost to time. Her last name at birth and married name are the Native American tribe she was born into and married into respectively.

"AMIE2 . . . (Massasoit1) daughter of Massasoit, chief of the Wampanoags, was born at a date unknown. She became the wife of the Black Sachem, so called, the chief of the Assawamset Indians. His name appears in history as Tuspaquin, and also as Watuspaquin. He followed the fortunes of his brother-in-law Philip, was captured by the English and put to death at Plymouth some time in September, 1676. (See p. 200.)
TUSPAQUIN and wife AMIE2 had children as follows:

7. WILLIAM,3 was so called by the English, though his Indian name was Mantowapuct. . . .
+8. BENJAMIN,3 m. Weecum."
