As to Sasanoa __ I know not who he was except a big Indian. The Sagamore of Wells was Sosowen, [word underlined] early before[?] 1650 __ and it is not a far cry to Sosowen - oa!! Agamenticus Mountain was close to Wells and the Sagamores had no divisions parallel to our town bounds.

As York was the mother town of the Province I cannot escape slopping[?] over. Ten of my ancestors helped settle it.

Tatnock __ I make to be tata -n- ock - tata = to shake n = for euphony[?] ock = land Land that shakes, the wavering tufts of marsh hillocks that shake as you step on them __ insecure fosting.[?] It is Tatnock marshes

But this will not compete with turnips as you say in the dietary, these roots. I was reading John Josselyn the other day and am going to library to filch from him again. He is easily a star. His reference to the only tame animals the Indians had, (we call them "cooties" now) is characteristic of his humor amid more serious thoughts. Very truly yours CEBanks
