Individual:
Of Joseph Daggett, in a deposition in Mch. 1608-9, we learn that he had f
or "many years scrupled the usual way of swearing" and declared his statement "to be the truth spoken in the presence of God". From this we may perhaps infer he had embraced the Quaker beliefs, at least in part. Beyond the facts which appear in the sketch of his life (Vol. II, Annals of W.T., pp. 44-46), little is known of him. His marriage to Alice Sessetom, dau. of the Sachem of Sanchacantacket, as already detailed, is one of the romances of our history and serves to mark him as one who ignored the conventionalities of society in choosing an Indian princess for his bride. (This marriage with an Indian gave rise to the name of "The Bow and Arrow Daggetts" which was given to this branch) It certainly placed him in an anomalous social position and although his father gave him an equal share by will, evidence is not wanting to indicate that there was little affiliation between the descendants of the two island branches for many years. The date of his death or that of his wife are unknown. His estate was adm. Aug. 1718, which is the proximate date, as far as now known. He was a wheelwright by trade.
Catherine Merwin Mayhew, Genealogist of the Marthas Vineyard Historical S ociery, adds:
"The Indian wife of Joseph Daggett was NOT Alice Sessetom."
"There is no record of the name of the Indian girl who married Joseph D aggett. Early deeds incicate that she was the daughter of the sachem Autumsquin (somehow translated to Adommas Queen when Dr. Charles Banks misread the original deed; Autumsquin was a male sachem.)
"Alice Sessetom was born a generation later than the Indian girl we are i nterested in. Alice was born about the time that Joseph Daggett married.
Joseph Daggett, the head of this branch, was b. in 1647-8 (not 1634 as s
tated in the Daggett Genealogy) as appears from a statement of his age in a deposition. (Superior Judicial Court Mss. No. 3834. He was aged 51 years in Mch. 1698-9. This makes him the youngest known child of his parents.)
