plied them from Virginia. At the close 

 of the Yamasi war the Clieraw were dwell- 

 ing on the upper Pedee near the line 

 between the Carolinas, where their name 

 is perpetuated in the town of Cheraw, 

 S. C. Their number in 1715, according 

 to Rivers, was 510, but this estimate prob- 

 ably included the Keyauwee. Being still 

 subject to attack by the Iroquois, they 

 finally — l)etween 1726 and 1739 — became 

 incorporated with the Catawba, with 

 whom at an earlier date they had been at 

 enmity. They are mentioned as with the 

 Catawba but speaking their own distinct 

 dialect as late as 17-13 (Adair). In 1759 

 a party of 45 "Charraws," some of whom 

 were under their chief, "King Johnny," 

 joined the English in the expedition 

 against Ft Du Quesne. The last notice of 

 them is in 1768, when their remnant, 

 reduced by war and disease to 50 or 60, 

 were still living with the Catawba, (.j. m. )
