THE HEADLESS DOG
From many traditional accounts.
[1] Note: Variously spelled—Onawmanient, Onawma, etc.
[2] Smith's Point is also called Smith Point.
[3] The exact place of burial seems to be a controversial subject.
[4] The name "Moraughtacund" was corrupted to the present "Morattico."
[5] Indian words had various spellings. Chicacoan, for example, was spelled Chickawane, Chickcoun, Chuckahann, Chickhan, Chiccoun, Accoan, Sekacawane, Secone, Chickoun, Chickacoon, Sekacawone, Chickacoan, Chicokolne, Chicokolue, Chicacoun, etc.
[6] This was the second Giles Brent, who was half-Indian.
[7] Suggar Land was named for the sugar maple trees that at that time grew in the region of what was later Fairfax and Loudoun counties.
[8] Note: This church is said to have been located near the present village of Lottsburg.
[9] George Washington was born "11th Day of February 1732, Old Style," or February 22, 1732, "New Style." The latter is the now accepted date.
[10] Pantalettes were generally worn about 1830-50. The fact that they were still being worn by children of the Northern Neck is probably due to the isolated location of this peninsula.
