The E.a., or che rrohegans.

- ., - Norwich lCona) cour.
The death Of this descendant of the celebrated
Indian Chief is worthy of particular notice, al this
time when there are SO few remnants in existence
of the warlike tribes which Inhabited the New
England States, when the European Colonists first
landed on their shores. One of the most noted OF
those tribes was that of the Mohegans, whose head
quarters were on the banks OF the river Thames,
in Connecticut. The small reservation of land
which the remnant of tie Tribe still retains lies
in The town of Montville, halfway between Ner-
WITCH and New-London, on beautiful eminencc,
in sight of both of those cities of Connecticut,
(say FIVE or six miles from each.) Their numbers
at present do not exceed, we believe, one hundred
souls. The burial ground of the Sachems is in tee
town of Norwich and has been frequently noticed
by antquaries.
The distinguished warrior, Uncas, whose name
has added so much celebrity to the Mohegan tribe,
was originally PETTY Sachem Pequod by birth,
subject and tributary to Sassacus. Vixen the
English settlers made war upon the Pequods, I'm
cas- was unfriendly to this chiefain, but was kept
in check by the talents and proves of this formi
dable warrior. Of the English he entertained from
the first very respectful opiaien, and finally
united his forces and fortune with theirs. Upon
the death of Sassacus, Uncas became the Sachem
OF the remaining Pequods as well as Of the Mohe-
gans. He claimed in this character right to the
territory comprising the most OF that part of Cen
necticut east Of Connecticut River. From that
time he became one of the most formidable Indian
| Chiefs in the Southern part of New-England. His
authority extended not only his subjects
but to other tribes West of the River. At the head
of about 500 warriors he fought and Defeated
Miantinomah, Chief Of the Narragansetts, tribe
| inhabitins territories East of the Mohegans. I'm.
cas- was steady friend to the English Colonists,
and in 1859 gave deed Of the town Of Norwich
to Thomas Lcfhngwell and his friends, in con-
| sideraton of important services rendered him by
| Leffingwe in one of the wars between the Ma
hegans and Narragansetts.
According to Doctor Dwight, Uncos died at an
advanced age aad left his power and property to
his children Onecho, his eldest son, commanded
party Of Mohegans in war which the English
carried on against the Narragansetts in 1876.
| The family, however, soon declined in their i'm
porance by the general declension of their tribe
and the sale of their property to the whites.
