cChenco, which is cairied on with a staff and a bowl made of stone, which 

 they trundle upon a smooth place like a bowling green, made for that 

 purpose." 



At this time the Shoccoree seem to have been the i^rincipal tribe. 

 They had some trade with the Tuskarora. Later (about 1714), with 

 the Tutelo, Saponi, Occaiieechi, and Keyauwee, together numbering 

 only about 750 souls, they moved toward the settlements. Lawson 

 includes Eno in his list of Tuskarora villages at this period, and as the 

 Eno lived on the Neuse adjoining the Tuskarora, it is probable that 

 they were sometimes classed with them (Lawson, G). Li 171G Governor 

 iSpotswood, of Virginia, proposed to settle the Eno, Sara, and Key- 

 auwee at Eno Town, on what was then "the very frontiers^' of Korth 

 Carolina; but the project was defeated by North Carolina on the ground 

 that all three tribes were then at war with South Carolina (N. C, 10). 

 From the records it can not be determined clearly whether this was the 

 Eno Town of Lawson in 1714, or a more recent village nearer the Albe- 

 jtnarle settlements. 



Owing to the objection made to their settlement in the north the Eno 

 inoved southward into South Carolina. They probably assisted the 

 other tribes of that region intheYamasi war of 1715. At least a few 

 of the mixed tribe found their way into Virginia with the Sai)oni, as 

 Byrd speaks of an old Indian, called Shacco Will, living near Nottoway 

 river in 1733, who offered to guide him to a mine on Eno river near the 

 -old country of the Tuskarora (Byrd, 20). The name of Shocco (Shockoe) 

 icreek, at Ilichmond, Virginia, may possibly have been derived from 

 the same tribe. The main body was finally incorporated with the 

 Catawba, among whom the Eno still retained their distinct dialect in 

 1743 (Adair, 3). The name of Enoree river in South Carolina may have 

 a connection with the name of the tribe.
