Summary
| Description | English: The Appamattuck were the first people documented as living at the current site of Petersburg. In 1607 John Smith met the "young and comely" Opossunoquonuske, the female chief (weroansqua) who owed allegiance to Powhatan as a member of his paramount chiefdom. By 1610, the colonists and Appamattuck were no longer friendly traders. After a group of colonists were killed by Opossunoquonuske's warriors, the colonists burned the town. In 1611, Sir Thomas Dale located Henricus nearby on the land of the Arrohateck, and in 1613 displaced the Appamattuck to ocupy Bermuda Hundred. |
