Excerpt from The Rockport Register, 1904

The history of this section of the state in connection with the Indians is of especial interest as it dates from the time Capt. George Weymouth landed on the coast, somewhere along the shore of Knox county, and after making extensive explorations, captured several of the natives whom he took back to Europe with him. We are unable in this brief account to give any details in regard to the many conflicts the early traders in this section had with these red men of the forest, or of their many attacks upon those who took their lives in their hands and left safe communities to make for themselves in the land of the hostile savage, homes and a name that will ever be honored.

This section does not seem to have been the permanent home of any tribe of Indians, although the Tarratines were most frequently in possession.
