Abstract:
The author notes that the Tuscaroras were not the first people to settle the area comprising the Neuse River basin and its tributaries. The Algonquin Indians had actually been in the are much earlier. The largest early infusion of white settlers came with Swiss Nobleman, Christopher de Graffenried. The author furnishes lists of names comprising what may be the most comprehensive census of Neuse River Country prior to 1720. Shown also is an early sketch by Graffenried.
