Wampage II, also known as Ann Hook and Ninham-Wampage, was the Chieftain of the Siwanoys and Sachem of Ann Hook.
His chieftaincy was no doubt consumed by the land disputes of the time. Siwanoy territory became hotly contested between Dutch and English colonial interests. In 1654, Ninham-Wampage's father, Wampage I, executed a treaty deeding to Thomas Pell 9,160 acres of land along Long Island Sound. The treaty also required that the Siwanoys and English peacefully attempt to resolve boundary disputes over the land in the future. Thomas Pell was thereafter known as the first Lord of Pelham Manor, although he never resided on the estate. The Pells and the Siwanoys developed a friendly relationship which allowed the Siwanoys to continue living in the area now known as Pelham Bay Park - specifically, Ann Hook's Neck (or "Anne's Hoeck") - now called Rodman's Neck - and Hunter Island, where the Siwanoys had their stockaded settlement.
The Siwanoys, under the leadership of Wampage I, possibly along with a group of Caribs and Arawaks, murdered the family of Anne Hutchinson in August 1643. The lone survivor of the attack was Anne's nine year old daughter Susanna Hutchinson, who was taken captive by the Siwanoys and, according to tradition, "became the wife of an Indian chief." Family tradition asserts that Susanna was the mother of Ninham-Wampage. When Susanna was later found by Dutch settlers, she had forgotten her own language and was hesitant to leave the tribe. She later moved to Boston, and married John Cole.
Upon his father's death around 1681, Ninham-Wampage inherited his father's name and title and became Wampage II. He was called Sachem of Ann Hook because he inherited his father's "lordship" over the territory by that name.
On May 27, 1692, Wampage II and another chieftain, Maminipoe, sold additional lands along Long Island Sound to the trustees of Westchester County, New York. He signed the deed as "Wampage, alias Ann-hook", showing his use of the name Anhooke as an alias, like his father. He signed additional deeds in 1700, 1701, and 1705, under the name Ann Hook. He died sometime after 1705, the year when he executed his last deed. He is believed to be buried near the northern section of Rodman's Neck.
Wampage II was the father of Anna, who grew up on Hunter Island. Anna later married Thomas Pell II, third Lord of Pelham Manor, in 1700.
