Pay-shaw-naw-quo-um

Not much is known about Pay-shaw-naw-quo-um. He is listed (as Pash au o quang) in the 1839 annuity roll as number 51, Band or Village of Grand Traverse. Family consisted of one man, one woman and two children and received a payment of $35.36


His name is next found as Pashawnaquong, when he purchased 40 acres - NW 1/4 of SE 1/4 of section 2, township 29 north, range 9 west (Milton township, Antrim county Michigan)- at Ionia Land Office on 1 Apr 1850 - document #7031


1855 annuity roll - Pay shaw naw quo um, #22, 1 man, 1 woman, 2 children, received $33.28 under Grand Traverse Chief Aish quay go nay be

1858 annuity roll - Pay shaw naw quo um #19, 1 man, no woman, 2 children, received $12.63 under Grand Traverse Chief Aish quay go nay be.

1861 annuity roll - Pay shaw naw quo um, #14, 1 man, 1 woman, 1 child, received $13.86, under Grand Traverse Chief Aish quay go nay be. Son Naw o quay ke zhick is now head of his own household, #16, 1 man, 1 woman, 1 child, received $13.86

Since Pay shaw naw quo um is not listed on the 1865 annuity roll, it is believed he died between 1861 and 1865. His sons (Naw o quay ke zhick #12) and (Naw we ge zhe go #20) are each listed as 1 man, 1 woman, 1 child; each received $12.00 under Chief Aish quay go nay be.

Pay shaw na quo um's name is last recorded in the land records of Antrim county on 4 Feb 1867 when Peter Mark Nahwaygezic and Martin Nockwegezic are named sole heirs of Pashawnaquong - NW 1/4 of SE 1/4 section 2 T29N R9W - Milton township.

It is not known if Peter and Martin are the two children from the 1839 roll or if one or both of those children died and these men are younger.

There is another man, Joe Marks, referred to as Peter's brother on the Durant Roll and Mary, wife of Jacob Sogod is said to be Peter's sister. It is unlikely Joe and Mary are the children of Pay shaw naw quo um as there are only two children on the annuity rolls and only two (Peter and Martin) inherited the land. It is possible they are the children of Peter's mother.

Information on Peter Mark.
