[1] On June 11, 1621, a child named Johnny Billington went missing from the Plymouth Colony after getting lost in the woods.
Upon request from the colonists, Aspinet found the boy and brought him back to them.
While it is unclear exactly what circumstances he died under, he was allegedly the leader of a group of sagamores seeking to drive out the Plymouth colonists, a plan which was foiled when Massasoit (sagamore of the Wampanoag) warned colonial leaders.
[1] Some writers, such as Alvin G. Weeks, believed that Aspinet was confused with Epenow as a member of this plot.
[5] Aspinet is named in Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's 1858 poem The Courtship of Miles Standish as a sagamore, alongside Samoset, Corbitant, Squanto, and Tokamahamon.
