'''Robin Cassacinamon''' (b. before 1630-d. 1692) was a [[Pequot]] Indian governor appointed by the [[New England Confederation|United Colonies]] to govern Pequots in what is now south eastern [[Connecticut]].
After the [[Pequot War]] of 1637, as a conquered Pequot, Cassacinamon lived under the authority of English ally, [[Uncas]], of the [[Mohegan]] tribe. In 1638 [[Roger Williams]] first writeswrote about Robin Cassacinamon, who went to the home of [[John Winthrop, Jr.]] in Fort Saybrook to become a servant and inquire about a Pequot woman who was a servant for the Winthrops and who Uncas hoped to marry. Eventually after living with the Wintrops for several years, Cassacinamon, learned English and was able to serve as a translator and he helped the Pequots in his town to request to be under English control rather than under Uncas. By the 1655 Cassacinamon was appointed by the [[United Colonies]] as governor of the Pequots in two settlements, Nameaug ([[New London, Connecticut]]) and Noank ([[Groton, Connecticut]]). During King Philip's War in the 1670s, along with [[Oneco]] and [[Harman Garrett]], Robin Cassacinamon executed [[Canonchet]], and Cassacinamon was commended for his service during the War.<ref>Shawn G.
