part of Santee Eiver and inland toward the west to the vicmity of 

 the present Monk's Corner, Berkeley County. Along with the 

 Cusabo, they helped the South Carolina colonists repel Spanish in- 

 vaders and supplied them with corn. Lawson, who visited them in 

 1701, found that they had been much reduced by smallpox and the 

 use of alcoholic liquors, and, in particular, the loss of a fleet of 

 canoes, which had attempted to sail directly to England for pur- 

 poses of trade. Some of the survivors accompanied Barnwell in 

 his expedition against the Tuscarora Indians. In 1715 they were 

 reduced to one village and the Yamasee War probably put an end 

 to their separate existence. It is supposed that the remnant was 

 finally incorporated with the Catawba, though they may first have 

 united with the Santee or Cher aw. 



Sewee population. — ^In 1715 their single remaining village con- 

 tained 57 souls. 



SHAKORI 



The earliest home of this tribe of which we have a hint was appar- 

 ently in South Carolina. It attained early fame out of all propor- 

 tion to its importance owing to the fact that an Indian brought home 

 by the Ay lion expedition of 1521, and known as Francisco of Chicora, 

 was probably from this tribe. Some time during the next 130 years, 

 very likely in consequence of Juan Pardo's expeditions, 1566-67, the 

 Shakori moved toward the north, and are next heard of in the report 

 by Blande and his companions of the expedition into North Carolina 

 in 1650. During their return journey, these gentlemen speak of the 

 "Nottaway and Schockoores old fields" between Meherrin and Not- 

 toway Rivers. Four years later. Governor Yardley was told by a 

 Tuscarora Indian that this tribe, which he calls "Cacores," consisted 

 of men of dwarfish stature but exceedingly brave, whom the Tuscarora 

 had never been able to conquer. They were reported to be near 

 neighbors of the Eno, and in 1672 Lederer found the villages of the 

 two about 14 miles apart, that of the Shakori being farthest west. 

 In 1701 Lawson found Eno and Shakori living in one village called 

 Adshusheer, on Eno River about 14 miles east of the Occaneechi vil- 

 lage, which would perhaps be a short distance northeast of the present 

 Durham, N. C. Barnwell identified them with the Sissipahaw, but 

 this must mean that the two were branches of one people. From 

 then on their history is identical with that of the Eno (q. v.), both 

 finally uniting with the Catawba. Some Shakori blood may have 

 found its way into the Croatan. 



Shakori population. — ^We have no figures regarding this tribe inde- 

 pendently of the Eno (q. v.), and none for the Eno except for Law- 

 son's statement that the Eno, Tutelo, Saponi, Occaneechi, and Keyau- 

 wee numbered 750 souls in 1709, The Shakori were perhaps included.
