Patuxet tribe
at , Plymouth , 02360 United States
The Patuxet were an extinct Native American band of the Wampanoag tribal confederation. They lived primarily in and around modern-day Plymouth, Massachusetts.DevastationThe Patuxet were wiped out by a series of plagues that decimated the indigenous peoples of southeastern New England in the second decade of the 17th century. The epidemics which swept across New England and the Canadian Maritimes between 1614 and 1620 were especially devastating to the Wampanoag and neighboring Massachuset, with mortality reaching 100% in many mainland villages. When the Pilgrims landed in 1620, all the Patuxet except Squanto had died. The plagues have been attributed variously to smallpox, leptospirosis, and other diseases.The last PatuxetSome European expedition captains were known to increase profits by capturing natives to sell as slaves. Such was the case when Thomas Hunt kidnapped several Wampanoag in 1614 in order to sell them later in Spain. One of his captives, a Patuxet named Tisquantum, anglicized as Squanto, was purchased by Spanish friars; they freed him and instructed him in the Christian faith. After he gained his freedom, Squanto was able to work his way to England where he lived for several years, working with a shipbuilder.

The Sgt. Harlow William Family Homestead (also known as the "Harlow-Holmes House" or "Kendall-Holmes House") is a historic house at 8 Winter Street in Plymouth, Massachusetts. The oldest portion of this 1-1/2 story gambrel-roofed Cape house is believed to have been built by Sergeant William Harlow, before he built the nearby Old Harlow Fort House, and is believed to be one of Plymouth's oldest surviving buildings. It is unclear from the architectural evidence whether the original structure was a single cell (three bays) or full width (five bays); the asymmetry of the front facade suggests it was built in stages. The house has a large addition, which was added to the rear in the 19th century.The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.
