Neusiok Indian Tribe
History
Neusiok.
An unclassified tribe, perhaps of Iroquoian stock, found in 1584 occupying
the country on the south side of lower Neuse river, within the present
Craven and Carteret Counties, North Carolina. They were at war with
the more southerly coast tribes. In the later colonial period the
Indians of the same region were commonly known as Neuse Indians and had
dwindled by the year 1700 to 15 warriors in two towns, Chattooka and
Rouconk. They probably disappeared by incorporation with the
Tuscarora.
