 ently the native name). San Pablo de Tepehua- 

 nes. — Ibid. Tepehuanes — Ibid., 318. 



Tepemaca. One of the tribes Uving 

 nearest to Dolores, which was not far 

 from Laredo, Texas, in 1757. There is 

 some ground for thinking that they may 

 have been the tribe commonly called by 

 the Spaniards Cueros Quemados ('burnt 

 skins'), who lived on both sides of the 

 Rio Grande above and below Reynosa, 

 Mexico (Tienda de Cueros, Revista, 1757, 

 MS. in Archivo Gen.). (h. e. b.) 



Teporachic. A Tarahumare settlement 

 of Chihuahua, Mexico. The total popu- 

 lation in 1900 was 261, all regarded as 

 civilized. 



Tequassimo. A subtribe of the Chop- 

 tank, formerly living on Choptank r. , Md. 

 In 1749 they were assigned a reservation 

 on the s. bank of the river, in Dorchester 

 CO. , but by 1837 they had dwindled to a few 

 individuals of mixed Indian and negro 

 blood. — Bozman, Md., i, 115, 1837. 



Tequemapo. A Calusa village on the 

 s. w. coast of Florida, about 1570.

 the mountain.' — Hewitt). A village in 

 1534 on lower St Lawrence r., Quebec. — 

 Cartier (1545), Relation, Tross ed., 32j, 

 1863. 



Tequepis. The name, apparently, of 

 two villages, or perhaps of one village 

 claimed by two missions. One was near 

 San Marcos, the other near Santa Ines, 

 both in Santa Barbara co., Cal. 

 Tequepas.— Tavlor in Cal. Farmer, Oct. 18, 1861. 

 Tequepis.— Ibid., Apr. 24, 1863. 



Tequesta. A rude and piratical tribe of 

 unknown linguistic affinity, occupying 

 the s. E. Florida coast, within the pres- 

 ent Dade and Monroe cos., in the 16th 

 century. They were more or less subject 

 to the Calusa, their neighbors on the w. 

 About all that is known of them is con- 

 tained in brief references in the Fontane- 

 da Memoir {ca. 1575) and in Barcia, 

 Ensayo, 1723, with a short notice in Gat- 

 schet, Creek Migr. Leg., i, 1884. (j. m.)

 confederacy in 1608, on the w. bank of 

 Nansemond r. in Nansemond co., Va. —

Terapa. A former Opata pueblo in the 

 immediate vicinity of Guachinera, e. So- 

 nora, Mexico, lat. 30° 20^ Ion. 109°. It 

 was occupied for a period in the 18th 

 century by the inhabitants of Batesopa 

 and Baquigopa.— Bandelier in Arch. Inst. 

 Papers, iv, 520, 1892. 



Teras. A former Opata pueblo on the 

 upper waters of the Rio Bavispe, 12 leagues 

 N. of Oputo, in E. Sonora, Mexico. It seems 

 to have been the seat of a missionary es- 

 tablishment and contained a smallchurch, 

 but was abandoned in the 18th century, 

 owing to the hostility of the Apache, Su- 

 ma, and Jocome. 



Tercao. Mentioned as a pueblo of the 

 province of Atripuy (q. v.), in the region 

 of the lower Rio Grande, N. Mex., in 

 1598.— Onate (1598) in Doc. InM., xvi,

Terocodame. A tribe at San Francisco 

 Solano mission, near the Rio Grande, in 

 Coahuila, after 1705. Rivera (Diario, leg. 

 2763, 1736) mentions it in 1727 as a tribe 

 of Coahuila. Before its removal to San 

 Antonio mission, Texas, Solano was situ- 

 ated "in the Terocodame band" (MS. 

 Baptismal Rec, 1707, partidas 319, 326). 

 The Terocodame seems to have been the 

 most prominent tribe of the locality and 

 to have given its name to the band or 

 confederacy. The baptismal entries men- 

 tion a certain Manuel, of the Tiemamar 

 nation, who was "captain of the Teroco- 

 dames" (ibid., 1706, partida 169); a man 

 "of the Oydican nation and of the Tero- 

 codame band" (ibid., 1707, partida 271); 

 a man "of the Babor nation, interpreter 

 for the idiom of the Terocodame band" 

 (ibid., partida 248); a woman "of the 

 Terocodame band and of the Juman na- 

 tion" (ibid., partida 272), etc. The Tero- 

 codame were, however, a distinct tribe 

 or subtribe of this band. The records 

 show that they intermarried with the 

 Gabilan, Viddaquimamar, Oydican, Tie- 

 mamar, Juman, Mauiga, Maubedan, 

 Tuteneiboica, Matuimi, Jicaragrande, and 

 other tribes or subtribes ( Baptismal Rec. , 

 passim), the intermarriage occurring in 

 many cases certainly while in the gentile 

 state. On Nov. 21, 1706, 58 gentiles of 

 different divisions were baptized. They 

 apparently had come to the mission in a 

 body, hence it may be inferred that they 

 were more or less closely associated. The 

 divisions represented by those baptized 

 or by their parents are Terocodame, Tie- 

 mamar, Gabilan, Viddaquimamar, Baco- 

 rame, Cucusa, Macocoma (or Ntacocoma), 

 Juman, Mauiga, Julime (or Juribe), 

 Tepeguan, Quizal, Babor, JNIamuqui, ]\Ies- 

 cal, Colorado, Tuteneiboica, Jicaragrande, 

 Matuimi, and Zenizo. The statements as 

 to the parentage of different individuals 

 baptized show that the intermarriages 

 represented many combinations of these 

 groups — another indication that they
