Russell(Mattamuskeet*)This is a surname belonging to one of the chief men, Joseph Russell, of the Mattamuskeet reservation. (See Appendix 14 of the Mattamuskeet Documents.)* It should be noted that the Mattamuskeet reservation housed Indians from the small Algonquian villages along the coast, as well as Tuscarora. The southern Tuscarora, led by Hancock, were assisted by virtually all of the smaller tribes in coastal plain, including present day Craven, Beaufort, Hyde, Pamlico and Currituck Counties. The reservation at Indian Woods in Bertie County was set up for the northern Tuscarora, led by Tom Blount, who had been “friendly” to the English. The Mattamuskeet reservation was not established until close to a decade later for the southern Indians who had continued to fight colonial expansion, even after the fall of Fort Neoheroka.
