Acquintanacsnak


A tribe or subtribe which Capt. John Smith (Virginia, 1, 118, 1629; Artier ed., 53, 1884) locates on the west bank of Patuxent river, St Mary's County, Md. They were near to and in friendship with the Patuxent and Mattapanient, the 3 tribes numbering 200 warriors. The principal village bore the tribal name and is supposed by Bozman to have been situated at the mouth of a small creek about 2 miles above Cole's inspection house. Smith describes them as "the most civil to give entertainment." Although this people had their werowance, or chief, it is doubtful whether they formed a distinct tribe; it is not impossible that they were a band or division of the Patuxent. A number of local names mentioned by early writers as those of Indian tribes of Maryland subsequently dropped from notice without indication of the extinction of the people, very likely because subsequent and more correct information showed that these referred merely to divisions of well-known tribes.

Hate to end our day with a DNF but we have run out of time. Not sure if we were even in the right location as GPS kept pointing to different places. Will put on our watch list.

Finally a find on this one - stopped so many time in the past but DNFs, so many times driving by - Gets a Fav for eluding me so many times.

Came down to Westminster to return a trumpet to Music & Arts so of course had to do some caching in an area I don’t normally visit. Thanks for the cache.

Yay! Thanks for replacing so that I could turn my blue frown into a happy :-)! Somehow managed to spot in the dark with my flashlight after a meeting tonight, lucked into the hiding spot by spotting a suspicious area.
