The New Haven founders settled on land obtained under the terms of a treaty signed by Quinnipiac Grand Sachem Momauguin ("along with others of his council")[1] on what was the east side of the harbor, "between the water and the Saybrook fort."[2]

Kathi Forbes provided a reliable source for some information about him (see the G2G). See "Articles of Agreement between Theophilus Eaton, John Davenport, and Others and Momaugin, Sugcogsin, Quesaquauch, Caroughood, and Wesaucucke"; web content, The Native Northeast Portal. From this source, emphasis added, "Secondly, the said sachem, his council and company, amongst which there was a squaw sachem called Shampishuh, sister to the sachem" (Should that be interpreted as a "sister", genealogical speaking?)

Anne B. provided a reference as Atwater's History of the colony of New Haven pages 84, 88, 89, 318, 339. See Edward E. Atwater, History of the colony of New Haven to its absorption into Connecticut ( Meriden, Conn. : Journal Publishing Company, 1902), 84, 88, 89, 318, 339; digital images, Hathi Trust.
