2 unusual facts about Nashaway people


Nashaway people

At the time of the first visits of John Prescott, the appointed minister to the tribe, power was passed from Sachem Nashawhonan (Sholan) to a Pennacook chieftain descended from Passaconaway by the name of Nanomocomuck (Monoco).

During King Philip's War, the Nashaway sachem (chief) Monoco kidnapped a Lancaster villager, Mary Rowlandson, who later wrote a best-selling narrative about her captivity, forced journey to Canada, and release.
