Petition by Harmon Garrett for Jethro's land along the Elizabeth River (Assabet) near what is now Maynard, Massachusetts
Tantamous (also known as Old Jethro or John Jethro[1]: 137 ) (c. 1580[2]–1676) was a well-known Native American Nipmuc leader in seventeenth century Massachusetts. Tantamous was a powwow (healer and spiritual leader) who lived near the Assabet River,[3]: 19–20 [1]: 80 later in Nobscot (now Framingham). Tantamous "...may have gotten his English name for his good advice."[4]
