172 BUEEAU OF AMEiRICAN ETHNOLOGY [Bdll. 137 



PATIRI 



This tribe lived in central Texas somewhere west of Trinity River 

 and perhaps along Caney Creek. From the fact that it was placed in 

 the Mission of San Ildefonso with the Akokisa, Bidai, and Deadose, 

 and the further fact that related tribes were said to have been put 

 under the same mission, it may be inferred that it belonged to the 

 Atakapan group. The above-mentioned mission was founded in 

 1748-49, and the name of the tribe occurs again in Morjfi's list applying 

 to about 1781, but that is all we know of it though we may assume that 

 it finally united with one of the other associated bands at San Ildefonso. 



Patiri po'pulation, — There are no figures. 



PEDEE 



A tribe found living on the river Pee Dee in the present State of 

 South Carolina when Charleston was founded. A map of 1715 locates 

 the Pedee town on the east bank near the present Cheraw. In 1717 

 representatives of this and several other small tribes went to Charles- 

 ton "to renew their old friendship." In 1744, along with some Natchez 

 Indians, they killed seven Catawba and in consequence fled south to be 

 near the white settlements, where some of them remained as late as 

 1755. In 1752, however, the Catawba asked Governor Glenn to advise 

 the Pedee to join them and this invitation was accepted by part of 

 the tribe, but others remained near the whites. A South Carolina 

 document of 1808 states that within the memory of persons then living 

 there were 30 Indians of the Pedee and Cape Fear tribes forming one 

 settlement under a chief called "King Johnny," and that in 1808 only 

 one half-breed woman was left. Some may be represented among the 

 so-called Croatan Indians. 



Pedee population. — Mooney estimates 600 in 1600. The census of 

 1715 does not list them. 



PENSACX)LA 



Cabeza de Vaca describes at considerable length various encount- 

 ers between the Spaniards who accompanied Narvaez and Indians 

 along the coast of the Gulf of Mexico in what was afterward 

 ascertained to be the Pensacola country. The companions of Tristan 

 de Luna very likely met some of them in 1559-60. The first definite 

 mention of the tribe by name occurs, however, in 1677. In 1686 

 they were visited by the expedition under Enriquez Barroto and 

 we learn that they were at war with the Mobile. In 1698 the Spanish 

 post of Pensacola was established and took the name of the tribe, 

 but, although Indians were encountered in the vicinity, the Pensa- 

 cola tribe itself was scattered and was believed to have been de-
