Lineage of the Ninigrets
The first Ninigret who reigned over the Narragansett Tribe of Indians was call the Elder Ninigret. Upon his death, which occured soon after the close of King Philip's war in 1675, his daughter by his first wife was crowned, but was shortly followed by his son by his second wife, the Younger Ninigret, who died about 1722, leaving two sons, Charles Augustus, who succeeded his father, and George.
At the death of Charles Augustus, his minor son Charles was acknowledged as sachem by a portion of the tribe, but the greater part adhered to his uncle, George. This dispute was ended by the death of young Charles, and George received the Royal Belt and other royal insignia in 1735.
George Ninigret left three childern, Thomas, George and Esther. Thomas known as "King Tom", was born in 1738, and succeeded his father, George, in 1746. He married Mary Whitfield of Newport in April, 1761, and died in the latter part of 1769 or early in 1770.
Thomas Ninigret's only son and also his brother, George, having died previously. Thomas was succeeded by his daugher Esther, who was crowned in 1770. Queen Esther in turn was succeeded by her son George, who at the age of 22 was killed by a falling tree. His death occurred during the War of the Revolution, 1775-1782. After this time the Narragansett Indians had no ruling sachem.
