Chief Gray Lock (or Greylock, born Wawanotewat, Wawanolet, or Wawanolewat), (c. 1670 – c. 1750), was an Abenaki warrior chieftain of Woronoco/Pocumtuck ancestry who came to lead the Missisquoi Abenaki band. Born near what is now Westfield, Massachusetts, he eventually became the most illustrious and prominent leader to arise among the dwindling Waranoak, once the predominant original inhabitants of the central Connecticut River Valley in today's New England region.
