[F] Paspahey was the place on James River where the English first effected a settlement, and gave it the name of Jamestown. [G] King, chief, or head man of a tribe. NOTES: [NOTE 1--CANTO FIRST, SECT. I. Far in their mountain lurking-place The Manakins had heard his fame, And Manahocks dared not come down His valleys to pursue their game. The Manakins and Manahocs, or Manahoacs, dwelt in the hilly country above the falls of the great rivers which empty into Chesapeake Bay; while the dominion of Powhatan extended over the whole of the flat country below the falls. The Manakins dwelt on the head waters of the James River, and the Manahocs on the head waters of the Potomac and Rappahannock. They were subdivided into several nations or tribes, and formed a sort of league or confederacy of the upland and mountain Indians against the power and tyranny of Powhatan. The Manakins consisted of four or five tribes, and the Manahocs of eight, and the whole, being combined in firm league against the empire of Powhatan, must have constituted rather a formidable foe.] End of the Project Gutenberg EBook of Powhatan; A Metrical Romance, in Seven Cantos, by Seba Smith
