The Cheroenhaka (Nottoway) –“We” – were signatory to the Woodland Plantation Treaty of 1677.   Our former Tribal “Teerheer’s” (Chief) sign bears the mark of “three-rivers” on said treaty.  Land that originally belonged to us was now supposedly given by the Colonial Council of the Commonwealth of Virginia, with promises that encroachment would not occur by incoming Colonial Settlers within a three miles radius of our tribal reservation lands. “WE” could now keep our lands, then situated in what is now the communities of Stony Creek (Nottoway Town of “Tamahittion”) and Jarratt, Virginia. Native language: native tongue (dar-sun-ke) calling the Nottoway River, “Onos-chi-oke” or great river.

The Chief Men of the Nottoway self endentured with lawyer Dennis McClendon working out the details for the VR law that said all NA had to be apprenticed til age of 21. Mulattos were what they were called, if NA mixed with Iberian from Pardo/Prieto's pre-England rule. If they could control their apprenticeship, they could stay together. This is from the Cheroenhaka's Nation website under their history section. The guide family and of those from the Nottoway to the Dimery Settlement and onto MS Territory was the Williams family of chocolateers in King William's Co with their plantation in the Monocan Nations' area near Minoken Town and the plantation map shows the Williams having the patent for the whole of the Nottoway Peninsula. The Cheroenhaka are Iroquoian and they were given the name Nottoway by the Algokian neighbors. The Williams guide/planter family and the translator Dimery to Briggs to Thayer licensed minister familes were involved with each other generationally from times back to William Penn's employ of Spaulding and Moor and Briggs as translators to the Ocaneechi, etc. All of these families intermarried, brought in New Sweeden Baptist Associates and church built wherever they went, some of the Dimery Settlement uprooting their land grants from William Williams and Governor Joseph Johnston to flip their land and move to St. Tammany, LA and await the opening up of the Spanish held West Florida which fall to William C. C. Claiborne in 1810 in Pensacola. The rest of FL followed suit in 1813. The line for Spains' territory until then was way higher in parallel than you might think. It is fun to look at the maps of this era.
