Coree Indian Tribe
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.
