all sorts of cattle on any part of the Island, after Indian Harvest is ended until planting time, or until the first day of May, from year to year forever, for and in consideration of twelve pounds already paid, and fourteen pounds to be paid within three months after the date hereof. To have and to hold the aforesaid purchase of land, and other appurtenances, as aforementioned, to them, Mr. Thomas Macy, Tristram Coffin, Thomas Mayhew, and the rest aforementioned, and their heirs and assigns forever. In witness whereof, we the said Sachems, have hereunto set our hands and seals, the day and year above written. The sign of Wanackmamack [S] The sign of Nickanoose [S] Signed, sealed and delivered, in the presence of us Peter Folger, Felix Kuttashamaquat, Edward Starbuck. I do witness this deed to be a true deed, according to the interpretation of Felix the interpreter; also I heard Wanackmamack, but two weeks ago, say that the sale made by Nickanoose and he should be good, and that they would do so, whatever comes of it. Witness my hand, this 17th day of first month, 1664. PETER FOLGER. Witness: Mary Starbuck. The mark of John (I. C.) Coffin. Wanackmamack and Nickanoose acknowledge the above written to be their act and deed, in the presence of the General Court, this 12th of June, 1667, as attest. MATTHEW MAYHEW, Secretary to the General Court. It is rather curious that this deed, although duly witnessed on May 10th, 1660, was not confirmed by Peter Folger until January first, 1664, and did not receive official attestation by the Secretary of the General Court until the 12th of June, 1677. This deed purchased the island from the original patentee and a greater part of it from the Indians, and the English are said to have paid £26 for it. Almost a year before the execution of the above deed, however, what is known as “The First Indian Deed” was executed by Nickanoose and Nanahuma on June 20th, 1659. It is as follows: “This doth witness that we Nickanoose of Nantucket, Sachem, and Nanahuma of Nantucket, Sachem, have sold unto Thomas Mayhew of the Vineyard the plain at the west end of Nantucket that is according to the figure under written, to him and his heirs and assigns forever. In consideration whereof we have received by earnest of the said Thomas Mayhew the sum of twelve pounds. Also the said Sachems have sold the said Mayhew of the Vineyard the use of the meadow and to take wood for the use of him, the said Mayhew, his heirs and assigns forever.” “In witness hereof, we the Sachems aforesaid have hereunto set our hands this 20th of June, 1659.” “The said Acamy lyeth north and by east, and south by west or near it.”
