Indian Village Pond… near Woodville, NC
My cohorts and I have been researching early patents near Lewiston/Woodville. The area is close to what is known as Indian Woods, which I have referred to previously as Tuscarora Town. In any event, I have been baffled by numerous mentions of a “Pond”. Hence these observations…

Some of our arguments, debates, fretting, general misconceptions and finaglins’…
I was completely caught off guard when I drew up the patent and went to place it on my map… I then noticed the pond on my map and the pond on the modern USGS topo map… I thought “Naw… it can’t be”… yup.
Do you think the Blounts/Blunts referenced are the Tuscarora head men, or are they other settlers?

We have been studying them… there were the early Eastern Blounts (settled on the creek near Edenton) and there are these early Western Blounts. It seems they are related, but it is a bit fuzzy. Recently I have seen mention of a early Thomas Blount… so I am on the fence right now…still researching. I have more files to share as I get something to Post.
