		The Pamunkey reservation is currently located on the site of some of its ancestral land on the Pamunkey River adjacent to King William Co.,Va.

		Tidewater Indians were required to legally prove their heritage, a task made more difficult due to a combination of general illiteracy among the various tribes and the fact that state records of marriages and births were chaotic (when in existence at all).
		The assembly rejected the petition to displace the Pamunkeys, but a lesson was learned; their very survival as a people was contingent on being “seen” as Indians.

	The Cook - McAllister Connection
		A patent was issue to Andrew McAllister for this land, described in the patent as 86 acres, on 24 October 1701 for importation of himself and his wife Hannah.
		There are two reasons, though, to suspect that he had no children. First, note that 86 acres was a very small landholding for a man with a family.
		There was land aplenty available in Pamunkey Neck at this time, thus we might find it suspicious that he claimed only enough land to support a single male worker.

		Moreover, the last group of colonists deposited by Sir Walter Raleigh on Roanoke Island to the south two decades earlier may have made their way up to the Chesapeake Bay and lived out their lives among the native population.
