Strait Richard, I've never seen any other children mentioned, but given that the more affluent of the Wampanoag men often had several wives it seems likely there were other children. It seems far less likely to me that one of them married your ancestor, but who knows? Here are a couple of books that might help, but I haven't seen them myself and don't know. I guess it's still undecided whether Philip/Metamcomet was the son or grandson of Massasoit, so if we don't even know that I don't know how much hope there is concerning your question. Brady, Philip.
