them (Col. Rec. Pa., viii, 776, 1852). At 

 the beginning of Pontiac's conspiracy he 

 was a leading character in the Indian raids 

 upon the frontier settlements. After Bo- 

 quet's expedition to the Muskingum 

 in 1764 he entered into a half-hearted 

 peace with the English. In his later 

 years he came under the influence of the 

 Moravian missionaries, and was a zealous 

 convert to Christianity before his death, 

 about 1770. (g. p. d.) 



Tamaroa (Illinois: Tdmaro'wa, said to 

 mean 'cut tail,' or, lit., 'he has a cut tail,' 

 probably referring to some totemic ani- 

 mal, such as the bear or the wildcat; cog- 

 nate with Abnaki temaruwe. — Gerard ) . A 

 tribe of the Illinois confederacy. In 1680 

 they occupied the country on both sides 

 of the Mississii^pi about the mouths of the 

 Illinois and Missouri rs. They were al- 

 ways friendly to the French, who made 

 their village a stopping place on journeys 

 between Canada and Louisiana. Their 

 enemieswere the Chickasaw, w'hoattacked 

 them continually, and the Shawnee. They 

 disappeared as a tribe before the begin- 

 ning of the 1 9th century. Hennepin esti- 

 mated them about 1680 at 200 families.

Tamique. One of the two tribes, the 

 other being the Aranama (Xaraname), 

 for which mission Espiritu Santo de 

 Zufiiga was founded in 1 726, on its re- 

 moval from Lavaca r., near Matagorda 

 bay, Texas. The new site, called by 

 Bustillo y Zevallos, who moved the mis- 

 sion, "the land of the Xaraname," is 

 still marked by the mission ruins at Mis- 

 sion Valley, Victoria co., on Guadalupe 

 r. (not on the San Antonio, as Bancroft 

 and his followers say), about 35 m. from 

 its mouth. From the close association of 

 the Xaraname and the Tamique it is in- 

 ferred that this was the native home of 

 the latter also ( Letters of Bustillo y Ze- 

 vallos, June 18, 1726, and Perez de Alma- 

 ziln, July 11, to the Viceroy, MSS. in 

 Archivo General, Prov. Intern., ccxxxvi. 

 The letters just cited settle the hitherto 

 undetermined point as to the date of the 

 removal of the mis.sion. On Apr. 15, 

 1725, the Viceroy ordered Capt. Bustillo 

 y Zevallos, of the presidio of Loreto, to

 concerning the removal of Loreto and the 

 adjacent mission to a better site. The 

 conference took place early in Apr. 1726, 

 when the two officers together selected
