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!
Weanoc. A tribe
of the Powhatan confederacy, formerly living in Charles City Co., Va., on
the north bank of James river. In 1608 they numbered about 500. They seem
to have crossed over to the south bank of James river toward the close of
the 17th century, perhaps in consequence of a disastrous attack from the
Iroquois in 1687. In 1722
Beverley stated that their former settlement in Prince George county,
south of the James, was extinct, and in 1727 it was stated that they had
lived at different times on upper Nottoway river and on a tributary
stream, then called Wyanoke creek, near the North Carolina frontier.
Nottoway river was also at one time known by their name.
