Patrilineal descent was incredibly important for both Wampanoags and English colonists. Among New England Algonquians, although some land could be transferred through the female line (matrilineal descent), paternal ties were "far more crucial." For example, sachems usually inherited their office through the paternal line, and the office usually went to a male relative (Plane 21). Even women who inherited the position of squa-sachem did so through their fathers or other male relatives. Patrilineal descent was also crucial for colonists: women took their husband's name upon marriage and in the case of a husband's death, the claims of wives to property were subordinate to that of their children. The power of the father was felt in both religious and political spheres: the "family reproduced patriarchal relations of power in which the obedience of wives, daughters, and children, was thought to be religiously proscribed" (O'Brien 23; Ditz 26). Moreover, since only male Puritans could be ministers, the religious legacy of the "missionary Mayhews" was passed along only through male descendents (left). Wills from Martha's Vineyard reveal although both sons and daughters might inherit something, what they inherited was often unequal. Moreover, only children of legitimate marriages tended to inherit property (and status) from their fathers.

For Wampanoags, kinship was an important means of cementing political alliances. Sachems regularly ensured support for their regimes by distributing favors and political power to family members, and the often sought marriages for their children that would help ensure military support during times of trouble. Although polygamy and divorce were both acceptable in Wampanoag society, it appears that in order to inherit the position of the sachem, an individual had to be descended from a royal family both on his mother and father's side (Plane 21-23, 50-51).
