Subject: Lumbee/ Pee Dee, Santee, Indians From: Melinda Totten Crowder Date: April 17, 2000 This is a multi-part message in MIME format. --------------850ED90236BDFC50CAECF9D9 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Greetings and blessings to the List I saw a post asking about the Pee Dee River and Lumbee. I have typed below what information I have in hope that it will help in your research. The contemporary Pee Dees, Santees, and Edistos have assumed their present names from the rivers near their homes. The present-day Pee Dees include part of the Lumbees. They are not the Pee Dees who joined the Catawbas in the colonial era. In 1981, there were an estimated 2,000 Pee Dees scattered through Dillon and Marlboro Counties. The Lumbee Indians are not included in this work or( book ) as they are part of the history of North Carolina. The present-day Santees appear to be descended from a splinter group of the original Pee Dees who became dissatisfied with their reservation in Dorchester Co. and moved to the vicinity of Four Hole Swamp, near Holly Hill, These Indians are descendants of Indians who did not move to join the Catawbas. It is likely that some of these are related to the Etiwan Indians who formed the largest population of Indians on the coastal plain during the colonial period. The modern Edistos are likely descendants of the Kusso Indians and the Natches Indians. Their two settlements are Four Holes and Creel Town. . The above writing is taken for the book South Carolina Indians Indian Traders and Other Ethnic Connections Beginning in 1670 by Theresa M. Hicks. Good luck in everyone's genealogy research.
