AMPON CHIK PEUSANGAN WITHIN THE TRACING REVOLUTION IN ACEH By: Dr. Teuku Mohamad Isa
We return to the story of Teuku Tjhik Sjamaun. His first wife, Potjut Salbiah, a native of Nanggroe Peusangan, gave birth to two children. His first child, a daughter, was named Pocut Zahara, and because of her beauty, the Peusangan people gave her the nickname Potjut Buluen. The second child, a son, was named Teuku Ali Alamsjah. The people of Nanggroe Peusangan called Teuku Ali Alamsjah as the name of Commander of War (Ampon Prang), because he also led the Nanggroe Peusangan troops in the war against the invading Dutch army.
What about Teuku Tjhik Sjamaun's second wife. His second wife, Potjut Unggaih, gave birth to 3 children. They consist of 2 daughters and a son. Teuku Tjhik Sjamaun's first child from the daughter of Uleebalang Meureudu was Potjut Sjaribanun. The people of Nanggroe Peusangan call Pocut Sjaribanun with the pet name Pocut Putroue, because of his noble attitude in everyday life with his people. The second child was a son, Teuku Muhammad Djohan Alamsjah, a young man who would emerge as a prominent uleebalang in Aceh. And the third is also a son, Teuku Bustaman.
