Aquascogoc
The Aquascogoc is the name given to a Native American tribe and also the name of a village encountered by the English during their late 16th century attempts to settle and establish permanent colonies in what is now North Carolina, known at the time as Virginia. They formed a part of the Native American group known as the Carolina Algonquian Indians, and spoke the now extinct Carolina Algonquian language. In 1585 the village of Aquascogoc was burned by Sir Richard Grenville, in retaliation for the alleged theft of a silver drinking vessel.
==Roanoke colony==
Sir Richard Grenville was the leader of the 1585 expedition which first attempted to land English settlers on Roanoke island. Guided by Chief Manteo, Grenville arrived at the village but the inhabitants showed little inclination to meet with him, and the Englishmen soon returned to their boats.〔Milton, p.117〕 However, a silver drinking cup was found to be missing, and was believed to have been stolen by the Aquascogoc, leading to a furious reaction from Grenville.〔(Miller, Lee, ''Roanoke: Solving the Mystery of the Lost Colony'' ) Retrieved April 2011〕 During the angry exchanges which followed, the village of Aquascogoc was torched by the English.〔(Aquascogoc at www.h-net.org ) Retrieved April 2011〕
The Aquascogoc would however have their revenge. Grenville left Roanoke, leaving behind fifteen men, battle-hardened soldiers. When Governor John White returned in 1587 he searched for the fifteen, but found only bones.〔Milton, p.217〕 White quickly made contact with friendly natives led by Chief Manteo, who explained to him that the lost fifteen had been killed by hostile Secotan, Aquascogoc and Dasamongueponke warriors,〔Milton, p.218〕 choosing a time and place of attack "of great advantage to the savages".〔Milton, p.220〕
