The Wiccomiss Indians of Maryland, Part II72
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 25 January 2017
Extract
The Wiccomiss Indians, from the very first, seem to have been in bad odor with the Maryland authorities. No treaty of peace was ever made with them by Maryland. In 1642, together with the Nanticokes and Susquehannocks. they were declared to be enemies of the Province. The same year, this proclamation was revoked as far as it concerned the Nanticokes, but remained in force regarding the others. In 1647, Maryland sent a punitive expedition, under Captain John Price, against “ye Townes & Plantacons of ye Indians of Nanticoke & Wicomick…lying to ye eastward of this Province.”
