1700
Robert Morden
In 1701 the same Robert Morden names the Pamunkey River as the Manskin River.
He drops the I. for Isle and designates the entire
river as Manskin.
Pamunkey Pininsula is shown as
“Pimaonack.” This is similar to
John Smiths description of Pamunky Country in “General
Historie”
“Where this river is divided the Country is called Pamavnkee, and
nourisheth neare 300 able
men.”
