Look to the Opposite Shore
Sunday Word. December 1675.
.
. A month of Sorrow. A month of recovering. A month of planning Revenge.
. January 1675 is when they attacked back.
.
From September to November they had to get away and resettle.
.
So now it is
December 1675
for the Susquehannok.
.
Now sorrow.
.
Then revenge for the wrong done them
in January 1675 .
.
This is not your usual picture of Mount Vernon.
. Next time
you go to Mount Vernon,
look to the opposite shore
of Maryland,
where the Picataway used to live,
where the Susquehannock had built a fort,
and who were put under seige
by George Washington's
Great Grandfather,
head of a VA militia
and by a Marylander militia. .
. September 1675 was the seige. . 4 weeks later,
an outrage.
The 6 Susquehannock Indian Chiefs
came out f
or a peace parley. .
. Who killed them?
.
Look here:
.
. Governor Berkeley said:
. If they had killed
my grandfather
and my grandmother,
my father and mother and all my friends,
yet if they had come
to treat of peace,
they ought to have
gone in peace,...

Nickname Conotocaurius
.
Many historians say the nickname of Conotocaurius (various spellings) was not just given to George Washington but that the same nickname was given George Washington's Great Grandfather, John Washington.
.
In hunting for the source of this claim
we find a curious circular reference
of footnotes that leads to no
contemporary source
of those times of the Great Grandfather.
.
But because the Great Grandfather
was involved in a siege
you can see why
the the claim that the
Great grandfather is
callled Conotocaurius too.
