While we know our northern friends may not feel it, in the South, Spring is
here. So we thought we'd share a few of our gardening sites appropriate
for this time of the year. Along with gardening, there's grilling, and getting
ready to diet so that you can fit back into that bathing suit this summer!
Coree. A tribe, possibly Algonquian,
formerly occupying the peninsulas of Neuse river, in Carteret and Craven
counties, N. C. They had been greatly reduced in a war with another tribe
before 1696, and were described by Archdale as having been a bloody and
barbarous people. Lawson refers to them as Coranine Indians, but in
another place calls them Connamox, and gives them two villages in
1701--Coranine and Raruta--with about 125 souls. They engaged in the
Tuscarora war of 1711, and in 1715 the remnants of the Coree and
Machapunga were assigned a tract on Mattamuskeet lake, Hyde county, N. C.,
where they lived in one village, probably until they became extinct.
