Nanticoke. A sort of bean; from the 

 name of an Algonquian tribe. Lawson 

 (Hist. Carolina, 76, 1709) mentions nan- 

 ticolrs among "the pulse which we found 

 the Indians possessed of when we settled 

 in America." (a. f. c. ) 



Nantucket. When first settled by the 

 whites this island, s. of the coast of Mas- 

 sachusetts, was occupied by two tribes 

 whose names have not been preserved. 

 One occupied the w. end of the island 

 and was sup^josed to have come from the 

 mainland by way of Marthas Vineyard; 

 the other tribe lived at the e. end and 

 was said to have come direct from the 

 mainland. The two tribes were inde- 

 pendent and were hostile to each other. 

 They had several villages and numbered 

 about 1,500 at the first settlement of the 

 island in 1642 (Mayhew). In 1763 there 

 were only 358 remaining and two-thirds 

 of these died of a fever the next winter. 

 In 1792 there were only 20 left, and these 

 were reduced in 1809 to 2 or 3 persons of 

 pure blood and a few of mixed race. The 

 Indian names of different districts, which 

 were probably the names of villages also, 

 were Shimmoah (also a village), Tetau- 

 kimmo, Shaukimmo, Quayz, Podpis, 

 Squam, Sasacacheh, and Siasconsit, and 

 the village Miacomet (Notes on Nan- 

 tucket (1807) in Mass. Hist. Soc. Coll.,
