[Frederic Shonnard & W.W. Spooner (1900)] The Dutch, in their early wars against the Indians of Westchester County, were perplexed to hud that the Highland tribes, with whom, as they supposed, they were upon terms of amity, were rendering assistance to their enemies. The Mohicans of the Hudson should not be confused with the Mo-hegans under Uncas, the Pequot chief, whose territory, called Mohe-ganick, lay in eastern Connecticut. The latter was a strictly local New England tribe, and though probably of the same original stock as the Hudson River Mohican nation, was never identified with it. The entire country south of the Highlands, that is, Westchester County and Manhattan Island, was occupied by chieftaincies of the Wappinger division of the Mohicans. The Wappmgers also held do-minion over a large section of the Highlands, through their sub-r bes, the Nochpeems. At the east their lands extended beyond the Connecticut line being met by those of the Sequins. The latter, hav-fn jurisdiction thence to the Connecticut River, were, i is believed an enlarged family of Wappmgers, « perhaps the original head of the tribe from whence its conquests were pushed over the southern pa of the peninsula.-' The north and south extent of the territory of the Sequin Ts said to have been some sixty miles.
