I just wanted to put this where all of you can see it. If you know of this please let me know. I found a sheet with this one small bit of info. printed on it. I guess I printed it up last year sometime. I found it while sorting through my files. I was google searching.
Google Search: Sapponeys Indians in Indiana
[DOC] Eno Indian Tribe
File Format: Microsoft word 2000-View as HTML
…and all of them now go under the name of Sapponeys. …members can trace their ancestry back to the individual Indians identified in such records…
ermp.tv/enotribe.doc – Similar pages
Then at the bottom it says;
http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&1r=&q=Sapponeys+Indians+in+Indiana&btnG=Sea…
That is all this whole sheet has on it. Does anyone know of the Eno in Indiana having gone or currently going by Sapponey?
I am very curious due to the Eno Mine Tipple, near the Blackfoot Church and Cem. in Pike County, Indiana, as well as Eno Corner and all of that other Eno stuff around there.
So, please let me know if and/or what I’m missing out on here!:)
Love & Light, Lynella.

So, in this reference to the Nottoway…..does it seem possible that some Saponi may have been with the Catawba & Nottoway who came up to Fort Cumberland where Dagworthy was commanding and who may have seen some action during the French & Indian War? I am still pondering how for such a short time– 1740 something to 1785– a “Blackfoot Town” existed for some reason in the midst of the Nanticoke……still wondering what Dadworthy did between wars….
“Between 1730 and 1748, the Saponi peoples traveled back and forth several times to visit their cousins the Catawbas, never staying more than a few years before returning to the Virginia/North Carolina border region. By the mid-1700’s, the Tribe had resettled in what is now Greensville and Brunswick Counties on the VA/NC border. At this time, the tribe was being absorbed into the backwaters of colonial society. Many Tribesmen began to receive title to their ancestral lands, having acquired European family names such as Jeffries, Guy, Stewart, Haithcock, Whitmore, and Watkins. This Saponi Community was still noted as a distinct group as late as 1764, when they were reported by the Indian Superintendent of the South to have “60 gunmen” in combination with their neighbors the Nottoway. At this time, Lt. Governor Fauquier of Virginia reported that, “tho they dwell in peace in the midst of us . . . the Saponi lead in great measure the lives of wild Indians.” “

Here’s a reference indicating that Dagworthy led Rangers in the French and Indian War http://www.britishbattles.com/braddock.htm.Notice that the other rangers with Braddock were from North Carolina. Earlier, I found reference to early Marylanders using Indians as rangers. I think it was somewhere on this web site : http://www.rootsweb.com/~mdsomers/lyonmaps/earlysomerset1.htm
