    I appreciate Ralph Lane, the English explorer of Roanoke for documenting the existence of the 20 Chowanoke cities in the Virginia/North Carolina area in 1584. The Chowanoke were Algonquian and affiliated with the Powhatan Confederacy. They opposed English settlement at Jamestown for 70 years until they were overtaken and sent to Bennett's Creek, the first example of a Reservation in North America. Many intermarried with the English and the tribe lost their language in the 1800s. It's a shame, but we know they existed, they're not extinct, they just *joined the English Tribe* as it's Algonquian Clan.

    Thank you for this fascinating talk on the native peoples of your region & their connections with other native cultures before & after European arrival. Dr. Smallwood brought up a number of things not usually mentioned in these histories. My own ancestors in the 1600s were both English & French as well as Cherokee, with a family member in each generation passing down our history since before European arrival & after. My English & French ancestors both fled via Britain in the 1650s to the English colonies in Virginia, but these Eur. ancestors almost immediately fled the Va. colony to join the Cherokee Nation in what is now Cherokee County, N.C. Our family is not legally recognized by US law as Cherokee, sincr our ancestors fled their homeland when the US troops were sent by Pres. Jackson to force all Cherokees from their homeland. The legal requirements for each Indian nation today are very complicated as well as very different. But with the Cherokee, you cannot legally qualify as Cherokee unless an ancestor signed one of the rolls with the US, & none of our ancestors did so because we fled the homeland in order to avoid being taken captive by the US militaey & forced to relocate to Indian Territory. Quite a few Cherokees escaped the US military roundup, with some living secretly in caves in the homeland for years & with some escaping by fleeing to other regions. Well into the 20th c, there were hundreds of Cherokee communities across the southeast (& elsewhere) that were Cherokee communities in diaspora, forced by the US to declare themselves as either Black or white by the later 19th c. These communities in diaspora were usually very small & scattered out through the forests of the southeast, mostly in areas the Euro. settlers had not yet overrrun. I wish i could find more information on these communities in diaspora like ours, but very little has been written. Our community was called Cooterneck, which means turtle neck, because its center was at a fork in the road. When my ancestors & other fleeing Cherokees founded the community there were no "white" towns nearby, so until later in the 19th c we had many miles of old forest to live in. The thing is, if u were a Cherokee (or other Indian from the southeastern nations), u could not live freely on US territories; rather, you'd be forcibly removed to Indian Territory. It's a long & complex history. My family had kept our family history since long before Eur. arrival, with someone in each generation becoming the family historian & passing it down through each generation for centuries. But my family's history, which had been written down by the 1700s, became partially lost when the US along with gangs of white settlers invaded the homeland nation, often burning down the people's homes & killing the occupants or forcing them to flee. These invaders were given legal title to any Cherokee lands/homes they seized, thanks to Pres. Jackson. Our family historian's home in the Forced Removal period (1838...) was burned down by invading white settlers, with our written family history destroyed. Thus we lost most of our knowledge of our family history before the late 1700-early 1800s. This or similar things happened to many Cherokees during that period, resulting in the widespread dispersion of Cherokees who did not walk the forced death march to Indian Territory in 1838. But again, thank you for this fascinating talk by Dr. Smallwood. It helped me better understand what happened to our ancestors during the invasion by the British & then the seizure of our homeland by the US.

    Thank you for sharing the characteristics of Quakers. I have Quaker ancestors from Yadkin County, but all I knew about them was that they were pacifists. Being primarily Moravian, which was also known as a pacifist sect, it's interesting to see how pacifist religious sects addressed the issue of slavery. Puritans of the Puritans? Wow!

    I LOVE this!!!! My father was born in Aulander in 1918 in Snakebite Township, but he raised me in Baltimore, Maryland. The first Quaker meeting house still stands on a corner near Johns Hopkins. Maryland was established as a Jesuit Slave Province, but they call that the "Free State" and to see that your first Quaker built a brick house and it has the name "White" on it makes me think Jesuit Father Andrew White. If a salesman came to you that dealt in human cargo and held the beliefs of an Ancient God.... they could get you to believe anything - even that slaves would increase business. I have a story about what Francis Scott Key was peddling on the people and THAT did teach people an unquestionable religion. Much Love from Baltimore - what happened during that time? A suppression from 1773-1814

    Early 1800 's Edgecombe County Lower Fishing Creek area NC is the location of where my Mulattoe 6 Great Grandparents lived . He was a run away indentured servant.Their neighbors in the community were listed as black. I'm thinking that they were Tuscaroran remnants. We've never been able to trace earlier generations.

He has since passed on and we hate terribly he had to endure this horrible treatment. We pray for Brenda's family and we are so sorry for their loss as I am sure he was as well.

    Spanish disease wave was 1520s, much sooner than 1560s, that was the second wave after DeSoto and Pardo. Don’t forget Gordillo, Quejo and Ayllon Expeditions. They’re the reason why the original Chiefdoms of the Carolinas disappeared and fell to the newcoming Tuscarora

    You left out the peoples here before the Algonquian, Iroquoian, and Muskogean speakers… The Chicora and Duhare were the people of this land before being lost to waves of European diseases and replaced by these waves of the ones you mentioned. Why cover newcomers and not those who were here for thousands of years? Lawson and Woodward both document the changing of Native Languages in the early 1700s

    On my father's side (Skinner), has deep history in this county and state about time that you are speaking about in the late 1600's and 1700's. Such as the first US Marshal for the state of North Carolina that was sworn in by George Washington, being my several times great-uncle. I definitely need to come to that area to do some of my genealogy research.
