About Wuch-I-Kit-Tau-But

Wyandanch & Wuch-I-kit-tau-but had a daughter Quashawam she married the Pequot Sachem Mau-gau-wan-met see Uncas geneology,in which he mentions that Maugauwanmet has married only remaining royal blood of long Island.

Note: An early genealogy of the Van Tassel family advanced the theory Wyandanch was the father of Catoneras, the Indian wife of Cornelis van Tassel. The theory is impossible on chronological grounds.
