1845 Howe’s Historical Collections of Virginia
“On the banks of Moncuen just above Warranuncock Island, now known as Goodwin’s Island, are two Indian mounds or tumuli, somewhat
reduced in size by cultivation, yet eight or ten
feet high and about sixty feet in diameter. Evident traces exist of an
Indian settlement in the vicinity, on the Pampitike estate.”
Howell spells Moncuin as “Moncuen.”
