About Ortoughnoiske
https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Powhatan-1
Powhatan took a series of wives from each of the tribes and villages he ruled. Once a child was born the wife would be returned to her home. As soon as the child was old enough, he or she would go to live with Powhatan to be educated. Contemporary accounts say that Powhatan had "many more than one hundred" wives. [6]
While visiting Jamestown in the early 1600s, writer William Strachey asked about the wives of Powhatan, then wrote them down in the following order, using his own spelling:[7]
- Winganuske
- Ashetoiske
- Amopotoiske
- Ottopomtacke
- Attosomiske
- Ponnoiske
- Appomosiscut
- Appimmoiske
- Ortoughnoiske
- Oweroughwough
- Ottermiske
- Memeoughquiske
- While the following wife was not named by Strachey, she was identified as mother of a known child of Powhatan: [8] [9] Oholase
