| EVEN.Comment | It is uncertain exactly where the original Piscataway settlement was. There is a town today with the name Piscataway whose location on the map above would be about 5 miles south of Fort Foote. The river adjacent to this town would then be the Piscataway River. St. Mary's, toward the end of the peninsula where the Route 4 symbol is, was built on the site of Yaocomoco, where one of the first Jesuit missions was established. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Birth and Early Life Mary Kittamaquund was born about 1633/4(1), daughter of Kittamaquund, who was Tapac, or Tayac, of the Piscataway Indians when the first English settlers arrived on the Ark and the Dove on March 25, 1634. On July 5, 1640, Jesuit missionary Father White in a public ceremony attended by the governor and several colonial officers baptized and gave Christian names to the Kittimaquund and his wife, afterward uniting them in Christian marriage.(2) While the Catholic Encyclopedia account states that Mary was given her Christian name and baptized at the same time, original records suggest her baptism took place a year or so later. |
