Augustine  Herrman  finished  gathering  data  for  his  map  during  the 
year  1670  and  then  forwarded  it  to  London,  where  the  plates  were 
engraved  by  William  Faithorne  and  where  the  map  was  issued  in 
1673."  Consequently,  the  names  that  appear  on  that  part  of  the  map 
which  is  reproduced  in  figure  2  were  the  names  of  villages  then 
inhabited — comparatively  recent  settlements  which  occupied  more 
ancient  sites.  The  different  tribes  or  groups  whose  names  they  bore 
were  not  encountered  on  the  banks  of  the  Rappahannock  by  the  first 
party  of  English  from  Jamestown,  who  ascended  the  stream  in  1608. 
Portobacco  and  Doogs  Indian,  names  on  the  map,  are  obviously  the 
Portobackes  and  Doags  mentioned  in  the  treaty  of  1666.  The  former 
was  one  of  the  best-known  tribes  of  Maryland,  and  when  the  English 
ascended  the  Potomac  in  1608,  their  village  was  mentioned  as  "  Pota- 
paco  with  20  [men]."  This  was  in  the  present  Charles  County.  Md. 
The  name  which  in  English  is  bay  or  cove  later  became  corrupted  into 
Port  Tobacco."  True,  the  name  would  have  been  applicable  to  the 
great  bay,  now  known  as  Port  Tobago  or  Port  Tobacco,  on  the  south 
side  of  the  Rappahannock,  but  it  does  not  appear  to  have  been  so 
designated  in  1608,  certainly  not  on  the  1624  map. 
Beverley,'"  writing  after  1692,  referred  to  the  scattered  tribes  then 
living  in  different  parts  of  Virginia.  He  said  in  part :  "  In  Richmond 
Port-Tobago,  bout  five  Bow-men,  but  Wasting."  This  was  Rich- 
mond County,  on  the  left  bank  of  the  Rappahannock  adjoining  West- 
moreland. The  small  remnant  probably  numbered  about  20  individ- 
uals and  was  decreasing.  This  particular  group  may  never  have  lived 
south  of  the  river,  in  which  event  they  had  retained  the  name  by  which 
they  were  known  in  1608,  when  living  on  the  Maryland  side  of  the 
Potomac,  although  they  had  become  separated  from  other  members 
of  the  tribe. 
The  identity  of  the  tribe  or  tribes  known  as  the  Dogue  or  Doag 
Indians  has  not  been  clearly  determined.  The  name  does  not  occur 
in  early  records  of  Virginia  and  evidently  does  not  appear  until  after 
the  middle  of  the  seventeenth  century.  The  tribe  is  believed  to  have 
been  part  of  the   Nanticoke,   on  the   Eastern   Shore  of   Maryland,
