About Amie, daughter of Ousamequin (Massasoit)
NOTE: Many on-line genealogies use the name "Mioneamie," but Yale University's Indian Papers Project and the Native Northeast Research Collaborative, both of which are working with Wampanoag tribal records, know her as "Amie."
Per the Native Northeast Research Collaborative:
Amie was the daughter of the Wampanoag leader Massasoit and sister to Wamsutta, Metacom, and Sonkanuhoo. She was the wife of Tuspaquin (the Black Sachem), chief of the Assawompsett Indians. The couple had at least two sons, whose English names were Benjamin and William.
Per Ebenezer Weaver Peirce:
AMIE, daughter of Massasoit, chief of the Wampanoags, was born at a date unknown. She became the wife of the Black Sachem, so called, the chief of the Assawamset Indians. His name appears in history as Tuspaquin, and also as Watuspaquin. He followed the fortunes of his brother-in-law Philip, was captured by the English and put to death at Plymouth some time in September, 1676.
Per Alvin Gardner Weeks, writing in 1920:
The only known descendants of Massasoit now living trace their lineage through this son [Benjamin] of his daughter, Amie. ... So if these five are all the living descendants of Massasoit, as Peirce asserts, the royal line will become extinct in the next generation.
