At the same time and year, probably, as it bears no date, he witnessed the sale of "Old Field" by _Wyandance_ to the inhabitants of Setauket in the town of Brookhaven.[48] Also about the same time the sale of "Great Neck or _Cattaconocke_"[49] bounding Smithtown on the east as referred to by _Pauquatoun_.
On February 10, 1660,[50] he marked out, and also witnessed the confirmation of the sale of Lloyd's Neck, in the town of Huntington, by _Wyancombone_, the son and heir of the late Sachem _Wyandanch_, who had passed away, and whose son was then acknowledged by both the Indians and whites as the chief Sachem of Long Island. His name on this copy of a copy is misspelled as _Chacanico_.
In the confirmation deed for Smithtown, dated April 6, 1660,[51] by _Wyancombone_, the land is stated to have been laid out by some of the chief men of the tribe; these men are named in _Pauquatoun's_ testimony. In the copy recorded in the office of the Secretary of State at Albany, N. Y., _Cockenoe_ is named as a witness in the corrupt form of _Achemano_. He united on August 16, 1660,[52] with the rest of his tribe at Montauk, in the first Indian deed to the inhabitants of East Hampton for "all the aforesd Necke of land called _Meantaquit_,[53] with all and every parte thereof from sea to sea."
About this time the _Meantaquit_ Indians petitioned the Commissioners of the United Colonies of New England for protection from the cruelty of the Narragansetts[54] with the result that the latter were ordered not to come within six miles of the English plantations, and the former not to begin any new quarrels, but to behave themselves quietly, without provocation. The fact that _Cockenoe_ was then living at Montauk is proof that he must have been one of the petitioners.
Thomas Revell, a merchant of Barbadoes, and a resident of Oyster Bay, L. I., was engaged with Constant Sylvester, one of the owners of Shelter Island, together with James Mills of Virginia,[55] and John Budd of Southold, in the West India trade. Through his partners, or otherwise, he became well acquainted with our friend _Cockenoe_, and employed him as an interpreter in buying some land from the Indians in Westchester County, N. Y. We find that Cockenoe was with him at Manussing Island, at the head of the Long Island sound, where he gave Revell a deed, witnessed by John Budd and others, dated October 27, 1661, which reads: "I _Cockoo Sagamore_ by vertue of a full and absolute power and order unto him and intrusted by _Mahamequeet_ Sagamore & _Meamekett_ Sagamore & _Mamamettchoack_ & Capt. _Wappequairan_ all Ingines living up Hudson River on the Main land for me to bargaine & absolutely sell unto Thos Revell.... And fardder more I doe promise and ingauge myself in behalf of the prenamed Ingaines & ye rest of those Ingains which I now sell this land for and them to bring suddenly after ye date hereof, for to give unto Thomas Revels or his order quiet and peacable possession," etc., etc. This tract of land thus conveyed was in the present township of Mamaroneck, Westchester County, N. Y. The power of attorney given to _Cockenoe_ by these Indians reads: "One of our Councill _Cockoo_ by name an Ingaine the which we do approve of and do confirm whatsoever the said _Cockoo_ shall doe in bargaining and selling unto Thos Revell of Barbadoes," etc. This power of attorney by some means was dated two weeks after the execution of the deed, and in the litigation which ensued over the purchase this fact ruined the case for Revell. This deed and the power of attorney were both recorded at Southampton, L. I.,[56] and are quoted in full, with particulars of the suit, in Sharf's History of Westchester County, N. Y.,[57] and are too lengthy to dwell upon at this time.
