Quinnatisset

Quinnatisset (also spelled Quantisset, Quinnetusset, Quanatusset, Quantiske, Quantisset, Quatiske, or Quattissick) was a Nipmuc village in Connecticut which became a praying town through the influence of John Eliot and Daniel Gookin.

Quinnatisset was located six miles south of Maanexit, another praying town.

By 1667 John Eliot was involved with the village and attempted to mediate a misunderstanding regarding a tribute between the Quantisset Nipmucs and the Narragansett saunkskwa Quaiapin.

Daniel Takawambait, possibly first ordained Native American in North America, served as a minister in the town.

"[2][3] After King Philip's War Black James sold several thousand acres of land in Quinnatisset to settlers.

Quinnatisset was possibly located near the site of what is now the Congregational church
