 Cathlacumup of the Chinookan family in 

 Oregon in 1835. — Framboise quoted by

Waccamaw. One of the small tribes 

 formerly dwelling on the Lower Pedee 

 and its branches in South Carolina and 

 the adjacent border of North Carolina. 

 Nothing is known of their language, and 

 very little else concerning them, as they 

 were never prominent in history. Their 

 associations indicate that they were 

 Siouan. Their habitat was along Wacca- 

 maw r., which enters the Pedee from the 

 N. almost at its mouth. They were men- 

 tioned first in 1715 as living near the 

 Winyaw, both tribes receiving ammuni- 

 tion from the Cheraw, who attempted to 

 gain them as allies of the Yamasee and 

 other tribes against the English. At this 

 time they were living in 6 villages with 

 a population of 610 (Rivers, Hist. S. Car., 

 94, 1874). In 1755 the Cherokee and 

 Notchee were reported to have killed 

 some Pedee and Waccamaw in the white 

 settlements (Gregg, Hist, of Old Cheraws, 

 15, 1867). Like the Pedee, Cheraw, and 

 other tribes of that region (Mooney, Siouan 

 Tribes of the East^ 76, 1894), the rem- 

 nant was probably finally incorporated 

 with the Catawba.

Wackuset ('at the small mountain.' —

 but seem to have been connected with the 

 Pennacook confederacy.

 Wachusett, about where Princeton, Mass., 

 now stands.

Waco. One of the divisions of the 

 Tawakoni, whose village stood until after 

 1830 on the site of the present city of 

 Waco, Texas. The name does not seem 

 unmistakably to appear until after 1820, 

 occurring first in Anglo-American ac- 

 counts. As the Tawakoni evidently are 

 the Touacara, whom La Harpe visited in 

 1719 on Canadian r., it is not impossible 

 (and it has been assumed) that the Hone- 

 cha, or Houecha, given by La Harpe 

 and Beaurain as one of the Touacara 

 group, are identical with the Waco.
