Pamacocack. A former village of the 

 Powhatan confederacy, on the w. bank 

 of Potomac r., about 30 m. below the 

 present Alexandria, in Prince William 

 CO., Va. Another and apparently more 

 important village of the same name was 

 directly opposite, on the Maryland side, 

 from which it is probalile that the name 

 properly belonged to the river stretch 

 rather than to the settlement. ( j. m. ) 

 Pamacocack. — Smith (1629), Va., Arber ed., map,

Pamacocack. A former village on the 

 Maryland side of the Potomac, opposite 

 that of the same name on the Virginia 

 side, and about the mouth of Mattawo- 

 man cr. and the present Pomonkey, 

 Charles co. It was of some importance, 

 having 60 warriors, or perhaps 250 souls, 

 when visited by Capt. John Smith in 

 1608. The boy Spelman confuses it with 

 Nacotchtank, which he makes "Nacot- 

 tawtanke." (j. m. )

Pamaque. A tribe mentioned by Fray 

 Bartholome Garcia (1760) as one of those 

 speaking the language of his Manual, 

 i. e. Coahuiltecan. They dwelt near the 

 Texas coast between the Nueces and San 

 Antonio rs. Their residence between 

 these streams was made the basis of a 

 claim to them and their relatives, the 

 Piguiques and the Pasnacanes, by San 

 Juan Capistrano mission, in a quarrel 

 with Yizarron mission in 1751 ( Ynforme 

 of the College of Queretaro to the Com- 

 missary Gen., 1754, MS.). That they 

 lived near the coast is evident. A Span- 

 ish manuscript of 1 752 says : ' ' The Pama- 

 ques are from the mouth of the said 

 river [Nueces]." In 1762 the San An- 

 tonio missionaries reported them in a 

 list of coast tribes. In 1780 Governor 

 Cabello, naming the coast tribes from the 

 Nueces to Ysla de los Copanes, put the 

 " Pamacas" (undoubtedly the Pama- 

 ques) first in the list, which was given in 

 a w. to E. order. This would put them 

 near the mouth of the Nueces (Cal^ello 

 to Croix, May 28, 1780, MS. ). The tribe 

 is evidently the same as Orozco y Berra's 

 Panagues, which lie puts on the Nueces. 



The Pamaques were closely related to 

 the Piguiques and the Pasnacanes, who 

 lived in the same locality. Indeed, the 

 last two tribes seem sometimes to have 

 been considered as subdivisions of the 

 first. They were together in San Juan 

 Capistrano mission, whence they fled 

 together in 1754 (Ynforme, 1754, op. cit.) . 

 They were also closely related to the 

 Orejones (q. v.). The wider affilia- 

 tion of the Pamaques may perhaps be 

 indicated by Cabello' s list of their neigh- 

 bors, cited above. It includes Pamacas 

 (Pamaques), Malaguitas, Orejones, 

 Chayopines (in San Juan Capistrano 

 mission); Pacagues, Borrados (in San 

 Francisco de la Espada) ; Pajalates, 

 Tacames, Manos de Perro, Copanes, and 

 Cujanes (in Concepcion mission). As it 

 was a general policy of the missions, not 

 always carried out, to keep closely related 

 tribes together, it is not improbable that 

 this grouping has ethnological signifi- 

 cance. 



In 1733 the Pamaques entered San Juan 

 Capistrano mission, and by 1754 the 

 records showed 196 baptisms of this tribe, 

 including, apparently, the Piguiques, but 

 not the Pasnacanes, who entered in 1743 

 (Ynforme, 1754, op. cit.; Santa Ana to 

 the Viceroy, Mar. 4, 1743, MS.). Before 

 1748 there were numerous "Pamaches" 

 at Concepcion mission; these may be the 

 same, although it is not certain (MS. 

 mission records") . According to Cambe- 

 ros, missionary at Bahia, the Pamaques 

 were nearly extinguished by 1754 (Letter 

 to the Viceroy, May 6, 1754, MS.), but 

 the tribe was still being missionized at 

 San Juan Capistrano in 1762. At that 

 time a total of 203 "Orejones, Sayopines, 

 Pamaques, and Piguiques " was reported 

 there (Ynforme, 1762, op. cit.). Accord- 

 ing to Cabello, they were still living on 

 the coast in 1780. (h. e. b. )
