Sugeree. A
small tribe, supposed to have been Siouan, that lived near the Waxhaw in
Mecklenburg County, N.C., and York County, South Carolina. They
occupied a fertile district and, according to Lawson (Hist. Car. 76, 1860)
inhabited many towns and settlements. They were doubtless greatly
reduced by the Yamasee war of 1715 and later merged in the
Catawba.
