TRAVELS IN 
As for thofe numerous remnant bands or tribes, 
included at this day within the Mufcogulge confe- 
deracy, who generally fpeak the Stincard language, 
(which is radically different from the Mufcogulge) 
they are, beyond a doubt, the mattered remains of 
the various nations who inhabited the lower or ma- 
ritime parts of Carolina and Florida, from Cape 
Fear, Weft to the Miffiffippi. The language of 
the Uches and Savannucas is a third radically dif- 
ferent from the Mufcogulge and Stincard, and feems 
to be a more Northern tongue ; I fuppofe a lan- 
guage that prevailed amongft the numerous tribes 
who formerly poiTeffed and inhabited the maritime 
parts of Maryland and Virginia. I was told by an* 
old trader that the Savannucas and Shawanefe fpeak 
the fame language, or very near alike.
