Coree. A tribe, possibly Algonqnian, 

 formerly occupying the peninsula s. of 

 Neuse r., in Carteret and Craven cos., 

 N. C. They had been greatly reduced 

 in a war with another tribe before 1696, 

 and were described by Archdaleas having 

 been a bloody and barbarous people. 

 Lawson refers to them as Coranine In- 

 dians, but in another place calls them 

 Connamox, and gives them two villages in 

 1701 — Coranine and Raruta — with al)out 

 125 souls. They engaged in the Tusca- 

 rora war of 1711, and in 1715 the rem- 

 nants of the Coree and Machapunga were 

 assigned a tract on Mattamuskeet lake, 

 Hyde co., N. C, where they lived in one 

 village, probably until they became ex- 

 tinct. ' ' (j. M.)

Coreorgonel. The chief Tutelo town 

 in New York, settled in 1753; situated in 

 1779 on the w. side of Cayuga lake inlet 

 and on the border of the great swamp, 3 

 m. from the s. end of Cayuga lake. When 

 destroyed by Dearborn in 1779 it con- 

 tained 25 "elegantly built" houses. Sir 

 Wm. Johnson, in a conference with the 

 Six Nations in July, 1753, said to the 

 Cayuga: "It is agreeable news that you 

 are about to strengthen your Castle by 

 taking in the Tedarighroones [Tutelo], 

 and shall give a pass to those of that 

 Nation here among you that they and the 

 rest of them may come and join your 

 Castle unmolested" (N. Y. Doc. Col. 

 Hist., VI, 811, 1855). Three of these 

 Tutelo were present at this meeting " to 

 partake in the name of their Nation of 

 the intended present." (j. n. b. h.)

Cores. Small blocks of flint, obsidian, 

 or other brittle stone from which flakes 

 have been struck in such a manner as to 

 leave them roughly cylindrical or conical 

 in shape and with fluted sides. There 

 has been some discussion as to whether 

 cores are really the wasters of flake mak- 

 ing or were intended for some practical 



(1-4) 



use. The sharp angle at the base in 

 many of them would make an excellent 

 edge for working a hard or tough sub- 

 stance, such as horn or bone; but few 

 show the slightest marks of wear. Wher- 

 ever flint, obsi<lian, or other stone suitable 

 for making flakes was worked, the cores 

 al.'-o ( >ccur. On Flint Ridge 

 in Ohio they are more abun- 

 dant than at any other 

 known locality, many thou- 

 sands of them lying around 

 the flaking shop sites. Al- 

 though ail are small, none 

 being capable of yielding flakes more than 

 3 in. in length, there seems to be no rea- 

 son for questioning the conclusion that 

 they are the mere refuse of flake making. 

 The use to which the flakes derived from 

 them were applied is problematical, but 

 they would have served as knives or 

 scrapers or for the making of small arrow- 

 points. See Stone-work. Consult Fowke

Cornplanter {Kaiiontiva'^ko", 'by what 

 one plants ' — Hewitt; variously written 

 Garganwahgah, Koeentwahka, etc. ). A 

 Seneca chief, known also as John O'Bail, 

 supposed to have been born between 1732 

 and 1740 at Conewaugus, on Genesee r., 

 N. Y. Drake (Biog. and Hist. Ind., 7th 

 ed.. Ill, 1837) says he was a warrior at 

 Braddock's defeat in 1755, which is evi- 

 dently a mistake, though he may have 

 been present as a boy of 12 or 15 years. 

 His father was a white trader named John 

 O'Bail.or O' Beel, said by some to have been 

 an Englishman, although Harris (Buffalo 

 Hist. Soc. Pub., VI, 416, 1903) says he 

 was a Dutchman, named Abeel, and Rut- 

 tenber (Tribes Hudson R., 317, 1872) also 

 says he was a Dutch trader. His mother 

 was a full-blood Seneca. All that is 

 known of Cornplanter's early days is 

 contained in a letter ' ; the governor 

 of Pennsylvania, in " :, ch he says he 

 played with Indiar :>^v^ who remarked 

 the difference b^*v,c-en the color of his 

 skin and theirs; his mother informed 

 him that his father resided at Albany. 

 He visited his father, who, it appears, 

 treated him kindly but gave him nothing 

 to carry back; "nor did he tell me," he 

 adds, ' ' that the United States were about 

 to rebel against the Government of Eng- 

 land." He states that he was married 

 before this visit. He was one of the par-
