In the death section the pond is listed as Assowamsett.....if what is meant by this is the large pond in modern day Lakeville, MA then the correct rendering would be Assawompset pond.

Harvard

Atun-Shei contradicts the claim that Sassamon attended Harvard. Can we see more information about this?CessnaMan1989 (talk) 17:05, 20 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Who held the trial?

edit

This article claims that the alleged murderers of Sassamon were tried by the Massachusetts General Court. This source [1] cites the records of the General Court of Plymouth, which shows that the trial was held there. That means that the later references in the article to relations with "Puritans" is also inaccurate. Sassamon appears to have had relations with Separatists.
