__________
The eldest son of RICHARD & JUDITH RAYMOND, he came to New London and was a founder there in 1658. He married Elizabeth Smith on Dec. 10, 1659 and received a land grant in 1662. Joshua Raymond along with two other men paid the Sachem [Head Chief] Uncas, 15 pounds and was granted 200 acres each. He built a homestead on the road between New London & Norwich that was passed on to his son, Joshua Jr. In 1672, he was Cornet for the New London Troopers commanded by Capt. Palmer in preparation for the War with the Dutch. In 1675 he was appointed Commissary of the force of 70 men including Pequot and Mohecan Indian allies. His death may have been as a result of wounds he received during the Great Swamp Fight of the Narragansett War on Dec. 19, 1676. The widow, Elizabeth, married George Dennis on Jan. 26, 1681.1070
__________
Uncas, Sachem and Statesman
The early 1600s was a critical time of change for Connecticut tribes. The pressure from rapidly expanding European settlements created competition for land and resources, while disease was decimating Indian populations at an alarming rate. Within the Pequot Tribe at that time, a dispute erupted between the Pequot Sachem (head chief) Sassacus and Uncas. Uncas left with his followers, calling themselves Mohegan, or Wolf People, like their ancestors. Each tribe had its own idea of how to deal with European conflicts.
Uncas (1598-1683) became Sachem of the Mohegan Tribe, which favored collaboration with the English. The Pequots under Sassacus chose to fight them, with other local tribes taking sides. Seeing the loss brought on by continued fighting, Uncas befriended the European invaders. This controversial decision left Uncas and the Mohegans in an uneasy alliance with the English in an ensuing war with the Pequots. But staying true to their word, the Mohegans helped the English defeat the Pequots.
Uncas settled his people in a village at Shantok, which the Tribe defended from a Narragansett invasion sparked by European as well as Indian conflicts. Finally, the Mohegan Tribe's affiliation with the English kept its people relatively safe during King Philip's war and beyond.1071
