In 1701, John Lawson listed neighboring Indian groups by number of towns and the number of fighting men. The following Weapemeoc neighbors were recorded: Paspatank Indians, Town 1; Paspatank River, Fighting Men, 10; Poteskeit, Town (Meheriin Iroquois), 1; North River, Fighting Men 30; [ . . . ] Jaupin/Yeopim Indians, 6 people (Vaughan 2001:38). Yawpim was a morphed term of outsider's attempts to say Weapomoke.
