 Antonio, Tex., in 1785, at which date it 

 had 26 inhabitants (Bancroft, No. Mex- 

 ican States, I, 659, 1886). The people 

 were probably of Karankawan affinity.

Moratoc. A tribe described in 1586 as 

 living 160 m. up Roanoke r., perhaps 

 near the s. Virginia line. A map of that 

 period places their village on the n. side 

 of the river, which then bore their name. 

 They are said to have been an im{)ortant 

 tribe which refused to hold intercourse 

 with the English.

Moravians. Mahican, Munsee, and Del- 

 awares who followed the teachings of 

 the Moravian brethren and were by 

 them gathered into villages apart from 

 their tribes. The majority were Munsee. 

 In 1740 the JNIoravian missionaries began 

 their work at the Mahican village of 

 Shekomeko in New York. Meeting with 

 many obstacles there, they removed with 

 their converts in 1746 to Pennsylvania, 

 where they built the new mission village 

 of Friedenshuetten on the Susciuehanna. 

 Here they were more successful and were 

 largely recruited from tlie Munsee and 

 Delawares, almost all of the former tribe 

 not absorbed by the Delawares finally 

 joining them. They made another set- 

 tlement at Wyalusing, but on the ad- 

 vance of the white population removed to 

 Beaver r. in w. Pennsylvania, where they 

 built the village of Friedensstadt. They 

 remained here about a year, and in 1773 

 removed to Muskingum r. in Ohio, in 

 the neighborhood of the others of their 

 tribes, and occupied the three villages of 

 Gnadenhuetten , Salem , and Schoenbrunn. 

 In 1781, during the border troubles of the 

 Revolution, the Hurons removed them 

 to the region of the Sandusky and Scioto, 

 in N. Ohio, either to prevent their giving 

 information to the colonists or to i)rotect 

 them from the hostility of the frontiers- 

 men. The next spring a party of about 

 140 were allowed to return to their 

 abandoned villages to gather their corn, 

 when they were treacherously attacked 

 by a party of border ruffians and the 

 greater part massacred in the most cold- 

 blooded manner, after which their vil- 

 lages were burned. The remaining Mo- 

 ravians moved to Canada in 1791, under 

 the leadership of Zeisberger, and built 

 the village of Fairfield on Retrenche r. 

 Here a number were massacred by the 

 whites in 1812. They finally settled on 

 the Thames in Orford tp., Kent co., Onta- 

 rio. The number in 1884 was 275, but 

 had increased in 1906, according to the 

 Canadian official report, to 348. There 

 were until recently a few in Franklin co., 

 Kans.. See Missions. (.i. m. c. t. )
