 414 Proceedings of the Council of Maryland, 1678—1681.
Lib. R. and the cause that Robin Hood and the rest of the Indians
came over soe quickly was that they heard that the Sinniquos
were come downe and had cutt of some Pascattoway Indians
and also had cutt off six English people about Pottuxen River
or thereabouts and that John Watkins a liver on the Western
shore bid them be gone to their owne towne upon which they
march'd away.
Qu: 4: Wee asked them whither they knew of any other
Canooes of Indians that went over the Bay about the same
time (viz) the10th or 12th of June.
Ans: That they knew not of any.
Qu: 5: We asked them if they would make it their busi-
ness to enquire amongst their owne & neighbouring Indians to
find it out if any of them had committed or perpetrated the
late Murther of the English at Point Looke Out
Ans: That they would be very diligent to find it out and if
they came to any knowledge of the Murderrs they would
presently discover it to his Lspp or some of his Councill.
And further Tequassino Informes us that not long since
there came downe tenn Sinniquos as spies and have taken a
view of all their townes, and that they intend to informe them-
selves of all Creekes on the Eastern Shore and then to fall
upon them, and that our Indians have discovered severall
places where they have lately been and layne all night
These Examinations taken before us the Day and yeare

p. 231 Please your Lspp:

What is done in obedience to your Lspps Commission will be

advised from the hand of Coll Lowe, this comes onely to
cover a discourse I had with an Indian at my house, please to
excuse the length of it, for Coll Lowe haveing told me that
your Lspps suspition of Robin Hood and that party of Indians
was Growne very greate from such Information as you had
already had, made me very curious to trace this Indian in all
his travells with as many Questions as I could think pertinent
to give the best satisfaction, and putt your Lspp in the best
Rule of findeing out the certainty, and then found noe other
way would render it soe Intelligible as forming it into this
Dialogue: after peruseall whereof I know I need not mind
your Lspp: that a Commission to make Enquiry of those sev-
erall persons nominated on that side the Bay will give all
satisfaction needfull. My Lord this Indian finds the more
Credit with me and I suppose will with your Lspp when you
have read this Examin" of William Grose who came this day
