Tuhbenahneequay

Tuhbenahneequay (c. 1780–1873) was a Mississauga woman from the Burlington Heights area of Upper Canada.

The daughter of chief Wahbanosay and Puhgashkish,[1] she married Augustus Jones in a Mississauga ceremony sometime in the 1790s.

Polygamy was an acceptable practice among the Mississaugas, and Jones lived with Tekarihogen at his farm in Stoney Creek and with Tuhbenahneequay as his wife while surveying.

[7] After the conversion of her son Kahkewaquonaby to Methodism in 1823, she was quickly converted, and moved to Davis' Hamlet where he was living in 1824.

One hundred fifty trees at Toronto Carrying-Place Trail were named Tuhbenahneequay Ancient Grove in her honour.
