1680
Robert Morden
In 1680
Robert Morden designates the
area as
“Manskin I.” He names all the other rivers with an Indian name but only this one example with an “I.”
“I.” Is also used to designate “Isle
“
“I. of Wight” for Isle of Wight.
This
absolutely locates the Manskin on the
Island field which was
previously know as “Guttins
Isle.”
He names
the Penninsula the “Pimaomack.”
Pamunkey Pininsula is shown as
“Pimaonack.” This is
similar to John Smiths description of Pamunky Country in “General Historie”
