PISA PISHQUITPAH 



[b. a. e. 



had departed and the pueblo was alniost 

 in ruins on their return in 1681. 



The entire Piros division of the Tanoan 

 family probably numbered about 9,000 

 early in the 17th century. Of these, only 

 about 60 individuals are known to survive. 



Living with or near the Piros of the 

 Salinas in the 16th and 17th centuries 

 were a band of Jumano (q. v.), a semi- 

 nomadic tribe of which little is known. 

 The proximity of these Indians to the 

 Piros pueblos led to the error, on the 

 part of cartographers of that period, of 

 confounding the J umano and Piros, hence 

 the references on many early maps to the 

 "Humanos de Tompiros," etc. 



Following is a list of Piros pueblos, 

 so far as known, all of them being now ex- 

 tinct with the exception of Senecu del Sur, 

 while Socorro has become "Mexican- 

 ized": Abo, Agua Nueva, Alamillo, Bar- 

 rancas, Qualacu, San Felipe, San Pascual, 

 Senecu, Senecu del Sur (also Tigua), 

 Sevilleta, Socorro or Pilabo, Socorro del 

 Sur, Tabira, Tenabo, Teypana, Tenaquel. 



The following pueblos, now extinct, 

 were probably also occui^ied by the Piros: 

 Amo, Aponitre, Aquicabo, Atepua, Ay- 

 qui, Calciati, Canocan, Cantensapue, Cun- 

 quili]:)inoy, Encaquiagualcaca, Huertas, 

 Peixoloe, Pencoana, Penjeacu, Pesquis, 

 Peytre, Polooca, Preguey, Pueblo Blanco,

 Teyaxa, Tohol, Trelagu, Trelaquepu, 

 Treyey, Treypual, Trula, Tuzahe, Vuma- 

 hein, Yancomo, Zumaque. 



The following pueblos, now also ex- 

 tinct, were inhabited either by the Piros 

 or the Tigua: Acoli, Aggey, AUe, Amaxa, 

 Apena, Atuyama, Axauti, Chein, Cizen- 

 tetpi, Couna, Dhiu, Hohota, Mejia, Quan-

 living on Piscataqua r., the boundary be- 

 tween Maine and New Hampshire. Their 

 principal village, also called Piscataqua,

 Stafford co., N. H. For the Maryland 

 form of the name, see Conoy, and also 

 Piscataivay, following. (j. m. )

Piscataway. A former Conoy village 

 situated on Piscataway cr., in Prince 

 George co., Md., the residence of the 

 Conoy chief at the time of the English 

 occupancy of Maryland in 1634. It was 

 the seat of a Jesuit mission established 

 in 1640, but was abandoned two years 

 later through fear of the Conestoga. A 

 garrison was stationed there in 1644. 

 Piscataway is seemingly identical with 

 Kittamaquindi (q. v. ), which received its 

 name from a resident chief. (c. t. )
