7 Years War = French and Indian War. The Scotts of the Qm3 ydna group joined with the military confederates under Chief Hagler who died 2 years into the war. The Ocaneechi language was the trade language of the Eastern Pan NA Trade. See the Archeaologist book entry where that statement is made in the media profile picture of this ancestor, from Mooney's Powhatan Confederacy., Past and Present.

In 1713, the confederated eastern Siouan Nations signed a Treaty of Peace with the Virginia Colonial government at Williamsburg. Among the different Nations represented were the Occaneechi, the Stuckanok (Shikori Cheraw), the Tottero (Tutelo), and the Saponi. At the invitation of Governor Spottswood of Virginia, these Indians settled a four-square-mile reservation encompassing the north and south side of the Meherrin River. On the north banks were the Nansemond and related Algonquin-speaking bands, on the south were the Siouan-speaking Tutelo, Saponi, Cheroenhaka, Eno, a small band of Catawba, and also an Iroquoian-speaking band of Tuscarora who had avoided the war with the Carolina settlers just 2 years earlier. Spottswood endorsed the construction of Fort Christanna where the Indian children had mandatory training in academics and Christianity. After the closing of the Fort Christanna School a few of the students followed headmaster Charles Griffin and enrolled at the Brafferton Indian School at William and Mary.[http://www.dominickerindians.org/ourhistorychapter1.htm]

By a 1761 report , these families had branched out and were counted as 20 Saponi warriors in the area of Granville County, NC and this corresponds to the "Mulatto, Mustee or Indian" taxation in Granville of such families as Anderson, Jeffries, Davis, Chavis, Going, Bass, Harris, Brewer, Bunch, Griffin, Pettiford, Evans, and others.
