What really interested me about this is the different names – Shoukum & Chogham – Could the Chogham be our lineage or is this a Chogham we haven’t known about or a whole other line? Is it our James of Barkhamsted (was never known as a drinker thou? Was known as a religious man and a good man) What about the Shoukum thou? Is it our line? (I believe it is) We do know it to be James of Barkhamsted in this reference – We do know our James carries the Chagum name – But it is pronounces Shaw–Gum thru out history – my theory is this – the Chogham lineage and Chief of Satan’s Kingdome came from the Massachusetts/Long Island Chagum’s and when James and Molly escaped when they got married they came to Hartford – He had family here! (Shoukum name was his at this time) I believe the Shoukum’s to be of Great James/Samuel Chagum line leading to our James of Barkhamsted and the Chagums to be of the Pequot Chagum’s of Massachusetts/Long Island – and are brother’s (I also believe Shoukum and Chagum’s both descend from Checoamaug/Shoakecum who was possibly son of Mayawetinnemin/Tackapousha)
I have been working on for several months now – more and more I dig into this I believe we have 2 lines mixed up – but of the same family~
