He was probably a Mattabeset Indian, and with his son signs the agreement for valuable considerations, and "gratification at the time of sale. " Not satisfied with the limits as specified in the deed, he went out and for himself examined and marked the boundaries. Notwithstanding all these precautions, the early settlers of this town were often filled with fear and alarm. In 1642, the General Court took measures in reference to a hostile gathering and plot of the Indians about Tunxis. In 1657, ...the house of John Hart was destroyed by fire, and his family consumed with the exception of one son. In the same year Mr. Scott was cruelly murdered. The house of Mr. Hart was near the centre of the village, that of Mr. Scott on the border of "the great plains. " Both these acts were ascribed to Meshupano as principal, and his accessories. For firing the house the Farmington In- dians paid each year a heavy tribute for seven years, "eighty faddome of wampum, well strung and merchanta- ble. " The year after complaint is made of the bullets shot into the town from the garrison of the natives, and also of their entertainment of strange Indians, and they are order- ed to find another garrison.
