Lost Colony Surnames
Possible Croatan and Mattamuskeet Descendants
By Helen Campbell
These eighteen European surnames have
the strongest connection and identification with the Croatan and Mattamuskeet
Indians from Dare, Tyrrell and Hyde Counties. I researched the eighteen surnames
that are listed at the
The Lost Colony Center for Science and
Research site. I'm sure that not every name listed
is of Indian ancestry but many are the descendants of these Indians that were
once living on the Atlantic coastal waters centuries ago. I hope that many
will find their ancestry by exploring the tables that I have made for the years
1693 to 1850. The surnames includes;
Barbour, Berry, Brooks, Buck, Caroon,
Carrow, Elk, Farrow, Gibbs, Jennette, Hodges, Mayo, Padgett, Pain, Pierce,
Pinkham, Squires, Whahab.
