James. His Mark. 

Nipmuc, his homeplaces at Chaubunagungamaug and later perhaps at Quinnebaug (present day areas around and near Dudley and Webster, MA, and Thompson, CT, respectively). In this document, James is identified as the son and heir of “Black James Sachem of the Nipmug Country.”

Wullumahchein, or Black James, was a pawau or spiritual leader at Chaubunagungamag. Wullumachien was appointed “constable” to praying Indians by Daniel Gookin, signed a pledge not to fight against colonizers in King Philip’s war, and then fought against colonizers in King Philip’s war. 

James’ kin: Father, Wullumahchein (aka Black James). Brother, Simon. 

The original document was signed on December 27, 1686. The image here is from a later copy of the original, seen at the Massachusetts Historical Society.
