Notes:
An article in the Utah Genealogy Magazine, July 1935, states that a diary of Zeriah Newcomb
, in the collection of the Library of Congress, shows that Austin Bearse married Mary Hyanno, daughter of John Hyanno, and granddaughter of the Sachem of Wampanoag. [Info from Jeanne Theberge Carrier Aug 1997].
This Mary Hyanno theory has been challenged and is considered to be without evidence (although not completely disproven). One site suggests Austin Bearse's wife was Martha Wilder, b. c1620 in Shiplake, Oxfordshire England.
From ["A History of The Episcopal Church In Narragansett, Rhode Island", by Wilkins Updike, B
oston: Printed & Published by D.B. Updike; The Merrymount Press, 1907, Chapter X, p.252,253, reprinted at members.aol.com/MaryARoots/Indians.index.html]:
"Canonicus was the Grand Sachem of the Narragansetts, when the whites settled at Plymouth. History gives no account of his predecessors. It commences with him. He died in 1647. Miantenomi was his nephew, son of his brother Mascus. Canonicus, in his advanced age, admitted Miantenomi into the government, and they administered the sachemdom jointly. In the war between the Narragansetts and Mohegans, in 1643, Miantenomi was captured by the Uncas, the sachem of the Mohegans, and executed. Pessecus, the brother of Miantenomi, was then admitted sachem with Canonicus. He was put to death by the Mohawks in ?1676.
Canonchet, the son of the brave but unfortunate Miantenomi, was the last sachem of the race. He commanded the Indians at the Great Swamp Fight, in 1675. This battle exterminated the Narragansetts as a nation. He was captured near the Blackstone river, after the war, and executed for the crime of defending his country and refusing to surrender the territories of his ancestors by a treaty of peace. ...
[p.8-11]: The Narragansetts subsisted by hunting, fishing, and partially, by agriculture. Their lands, for eight or ten miles distant from the sea shore, were cleared of wood, and on these prairies they raised Indian corn in abundance and furnished the early settlers of Plymouth and Massachusetts wit large quantities for subsistence. They were a strong, generous and brave race. They were always more civil and courteous to the English than any of the other Indians. Their kind and hospitable treatment of the emigrants to Rhode Island and the welcome they gave our persecuted ancestors should endear their name to us all.
The Narrangasetts, as a civilation, were far in advance of their neighbors. Hutchinson says that 'They were the most curious coiners of Wampumpeag and supplied other nations with their pendants and bracelets and, also, with tobacco pipes of stone, some blue and some white. They furnished the earthen vessels and pots for cookery and other domestic uses.
The government of teh Narraganssetts appears to have been a patriarchal despotism. On the arrival of the English, there were two chief sachems, Canonicus and Miantinomi, and under them several subordinate ones. The different small tribes, under the separate sub-sachems, composed the great narragansett nation. The succession to chief authority was generally preserved in the same family. The sub-sachems occupied the soil and were moved from it at the will and pleasure of their chiefs.
Hutchinson writes: "In the early tribes of this nation, some of the English inhabitants learn
ed from the old Indians, that they had, previous to their arrival, a sachem, Tashtassuck, and their encomiums upon his wisdom and valour were much the same as the Delawares reported of their Chief Sachem, Tammany; that, since, there had not been his equal, &c. Tashtassuck had but two children, a son and a daughter, those he joined in marriage, because he could find none worthy of them out of his family. The product of this marriage was four sons, of whom Canonicus was the oldest." [See History of the Episcopal Church In Narragansett, Rhode Island, by Wilkins Updike, Boston, The Merrymount Press, 1907, pg. 8-11].
The Narragansetts viewed themselves as a superior race over neighboring indian nations. This is greatly born out by Tashtassuck's vanity in this case.

-----------------
He participated in the war of 1812. His father was a vet. of the rev. war.
He was born in South Carolina, of Irish descent, but moved with his family to Kentucky (presumably the Trigg Co., Ky area) when only a boy. He lived there until 1830, when he loaded the family's belongings onto ox-teams and moved them to Taylorville, Christian Co., Illinois. He built a log cabin on a tract of land there, where they lived for two years, when they moved to South Fork Twp, where he acquired 160 acres on sections 12 and 13 from a government grant at $1.25 per acre, consisting of unimproved prairie. There he erected a log cabin measuring 16x18 feet. He made his living farming, but also raised stock.
He did most his trading in Springfield, but often had to drive his stock to St. Louis. He was a member of the Methodist Church, and active in the organization of schools and roads. Source: [Bio. of William F. Gore, Portrait and biographical record of Christian Co., Illinois, p. 230-2, 1893].
