Ampon Chik Peusangan

    While Teuku Tjhik Sjamaun was conducting guerrilla warfare in the jungles of Peusangan, Sultan Aceh - Tuanku Muhammad Daudsjah -  visited Matang Glumpang Dua, the capital of the Peusangan region. The Sultan intended to reaffirm Teuku Tjhik Sjamaun as the Uleebalang (leader) of Peusangan with the title "Teuku Kejruen".  The Sultan waited for several days in Matang Glumpang Dua, but Teuku Tjhik Sjamaun did not appear. 

An envoy informed the Sultan that Teuku Tjhik Sjamaun was gravely ill in the remote jungles of the Peusangan river's upper reaches. Without delay, Sultan Aceh appointed Teuku Muhammad Djohan Alamsjah, Sjamaun’s son, as the new Uleebalang of Peusangan. The appointment was officially recorded in a royal decree known as the "Surat Tjap Sikureung", which was directly handed to the young Teuku Muhammad Djohan Alamsjah.

Let us return to the story of Teuku Chik Syamaun. His first wife, Pocut Salbiah, a native of Nanggroe Peusangan, bore two children. The eldest was a daughter named Pocut Zahara, known among the people of Peusangan as Pocut Buluen because of her beauty. Their second child was a son named Teuku Ali Alamsjah. The people of Nanggroe Peusangan honored Teuku Ali Alamsyah with the title of Commander of War, as he also led the forces of Nanggroe Peusangan in battles against Dutch invaders.

    What about Teuku Chik Sjamaun’s second wife?. His second wife, Pocut Unggaih, bore three children: two daughters and a son. The first child was Pocut Sjaribanun, a daughter from the Uleebalang lineage of Meureudu. Known affectionately as Pocut Putroue by the people of Nanggroe Peusangan, she was admired for her noble demeanor. The second child was Teuku Muhammad Djohan Alamsjah, a son destined to become a prominent Uleebalang in Aceh. The third was a son named Teuku Bustaman.
