Saponi Treaty

[Tom]

Does anyone know if there is an actual ciopy of the Treaty with Saponi still in existence?
We should try and locate the original copy since we have so many posts re. this article. Any guess's where it might be located.?

Which Treaty do you speak of? My grandmother Hannah Love perhaps with the Cataba?

Tom, I googled for it and didn't find anything like that. But I did find a pdf file that might be interesting. Go to page 14 and take a look at a reference to a work that was written about the Saponi Origins.

I thought it might be good to see if we can get a copy of this article.

It has a whole lot of stuff about their establishment, but I found this paragraph interesting.


"Another article by Dr. Vest also appearing this month, "Further Considerations in the Ethnogenesis of the Monacan Indian Nation: The Saponi Orgins of Selected Families," appeared Quarterly Bulletin of the Archeological Society of Virginia, Vol. 60:No. 3, (September 2005, pages 133-149). This essay traces selected Monacan families to the Saponi reservation at Fort Christanna circa. 1713-1728 on southside Virginia. In doing so, it supplies a direct link between the contemporary Monacan Indian Nation as the lineal descendants to the 1713 Saponi treaty with colonial Virgiina. "

I found this site and have written to see if we can get a copy without joining the Society. I'll let you know what they say.

Let me know your thoughts.

And does anyone here belong to this Society? And if so, do you have access to this article?

I thought this site might be interesting too:
