Seacutt

Seacutt was the son of Sowheag, the sachem of the Connecticut River Indian tribe.  In 1666, he was one of the Native leaders who signed a non-aggression agreement with Uncas and Arramamet.  Seven years later, in 1673, Seacutt was one of his brother Sequassen's heirs mentioned in the confirmatory deed to the Tunxis territory. 

He, his brother Turramuggus, and Wunnameise served as hostages during King Philip's War so that their communities would "carry neighbourly" to the English and "promising to carry well for the future."  They were released by Connecticut's Council of War on June 23, 1676.  The following January, the Council ordered Joseph Hadsdell to serve eight months for the payment of four pounds to be given to Seacutt for the wampum Hadsdell had stolen from him.
