The Tuscaroras, related to the Iroquois, lived in North Carolina where they maintained
friendly relations with the colonists. Trouble began when the white settlers began to take
advantage of the Tuscaroras, encroaching on their farmland, cheating them in trades, and
in some cases kidnapping and selling their children into slavery. In retaliation,
Tuscarora warriors, under Chief Hancock, raided white villages in 1711. The war quickly
escalated. In a final standoff, Colonel James Moore led his men, aided by Yamasee Indians,
into the Tuscarora village of Neoheroka in 1713, killing and capturing one thousand
inhabitants. Many were then sold into slavery to finance the war effort. The surviving
Tuscaroras migrated to New York, where in 1722 they became the sixth nation in the
Iroquois League. This drawing shows Christopher von Graffenreid, founder of a Swiss-
German colony in North Carolina, and his slave being held captive by the Tuscaroras during
the conflict. -

(Above and Below) Two views of the house in which Harget and
Susanna Kornegay lived and raised their children.
The house, no longer standing, was located near what is now the Tri-County Power
Station. Ruth Westbrook
remembers visiting the house before it was destroyed and states that the
foundations are still visible.
