The Indians of the Mystic valley and the litigation over their land. Hall Gleason, following the research of the late Daniel A. Gleason. The renowned sachem of the Pawtuckets was Nanepashemit, who removed from Lynn in 1615, and took up his abode on Mystic river where he was killed in 1619. During his short and eventful residence in Medford his house was placed on Rock hill, where he could best watch canoes in the river. So says Medford's historian.
