Pamlico. An Algonquian tribe formerly 

 living on Pamlico r., in Beaufort co., 

 N. C. They were nearly destroyed by 

 smallpox in 1696. The survivors, num- 

 bering about 75, lived in 1710 in a single 

 village. They took part in the Tuscarora 

 war of 1711, and at its close that portion 

 of the Tuscarora under treaty with the 

 English agreed to exterminate them. The 

 remnant was probably incorporated as 

 slaves with that tribe. (j. m.)

Pamoranos. Given by Orozco y Berra 

 (Geog., 299, 1864) as a Tamaulipan tribe 

 living in Texas, n. of Laredo. They are 

 mentioned in 1732 by Fr. Juan Lozada as 

 one of numerous tribes who had made 

 peace with the Spaniards. (h. e. b. ) 

 Pamozanes.— Orozco y Berra, op. cit., 294. 



Pampopas. A Coahuiltecan tribe for- 

 merly livingon Nueces r., Tex., 22 leagues 

 from San Juan Bautista mission, with the 

 Tilijaes on the same stream immediately 

 below them. It is one of several tribes 

 mentioned by Garcia (Manual, title, 1760) 

 as speaking the same, i. e. Coahuiltecan, 

 language. They appear to have been in 

 the same territory in 1701 (Orozco y Ber- 

 ra, Geog., 303, 1864). 



Manuscripts dated in 1736-38 confirm 

 the above statements as to their residence 

 on the Nueces (indicating that they some • 

 times established themselves to the e., 

 even across Rio Frio) and fix their lati- 

 tude as probably above the junction of 

 Rio Frio with the Nueces (Gov. Sandoval, 

 Aug. 25, 1736, Lamar Papers, Span. MS., 

 no. 31; Testimony of Aug. 29, 1736; Yndi- 

 ferentede Guerra, 1736-37, Misiones, xxi, 



Archivo Gen.; Orobio y Basterra, letter 

 of Apr. 26, 1738, Historia, lxxxiv, Ar- 

 chivo Gen. ). Rivera (Proyecto, 1728) calls 

 them a roving tribe. In the early part 

 of the 18th century Pampopas were in 

 San Juan Bautista mission, on the Rio 

 (irande, 9 families being there in 1738, 

 together with Tilijyas (Tilijaes), Pitas, 

 Pastalocos, and Mescales (Portillo, Apun- 

 tes para la Historia Antigua de Coahuila 

 y Texas, 283, 1888; Morfi, Viage de In- 

 dios. Doc. Hist. Mex., 3d s., iv, 441, 

 1856). Fray Antonio de Buenaventura 

 de Olivares, who in 1718 moved San 

 Francisco Solano mission from the Rio 

 Grande and reestablished it as San An- 

 tonio de Valero, mentioned the Painpoas 

 (Pampopas) as one of the tribes he in- 

 tended to gather there (undated MS. 

 letter to the Viceroy), but they went 

 rather to San Jose de Agua}^o mission 

 (q. v.), founded shortly after, where 

 they were settled with Pastias, Sayopines, 

 and Tacasnanes (Pasnacanes?). Appar- 

 ently all these tribes soon deserted the 

 mission, but some Pampopas were taken 

 back. In 1 736 some were recovered from 

 rancherias on the Rio Frio, and in 1737 

 others from the Medina (Documents, op. 

 cit.). In 1738 Orobio y Basterra (op. 

 cit. ) located them "on the banks of Rio 

 de las Nuezes," and suggested enlisting 

 them in a campaign against the Apache, 

 thus indicating their hostility toward that 

 tril)e, which seems to have been the rule 

 with the Coahuiltecan group of the Texas 

 coast. The tribe must have been small 

 then, for Orobio y Basterra counted on 

 only 200 warriors from this and three 

 other tribes of a different region. In 

 1750 Fr. Santa Ana speaks of the Pampo- 

 pas as quite generally "reduced and at- 

 tached" to theirmission (Petition, Feb.20, 

 1750, in Mem. de Nueva Espana, xxviii, 

 140, MS.); in 1768 Soli's wrote as though 

 they comprised a part of the 350 adult 

 men at San Jose mission (Diario, ibid., 

 xxvii, 270); and in 1793 Revilla-Gigedo 

 implied that they formed a part of the 114 

 neophytes stillatthe lattermission ( Carta, 

 Dec. 27, 1793, in Die. Univ. de Hist, v de 

 Geog., V, 447, 1853-56). (h. e. b )
