ARE THE NANTICOKE LENAPE,........MOORS Rev John Norwood

STILL TURTLE: ARE THE NANTICOKE MOORS
Rev John Norwood of the Nanticoke Lenape......
Who better to answer the question of wether or not the Nanticoke Lenape are Moors than Historian Rev John Norwood of the Nanticoke Lenape.

As one walks along Main Street from the Friends School past the old Town Hall, it is hard to believe that once it was wigwams of the Lenni Lenape Indians that occupied this area. They had undoubtedly settled in this particular place because of two fine springs, one on West Main Street between Locust and Union Streets and the other on East Main Street near Stanwick Road.

It is not certain when the first white settlers came here, but it was in 1682 that the road from Burlington to Salem, passing through what is now Moorestown, was laid out. This road was called King's Highway and of course is still a most familiar name to residents of the community.

In May of 1686, when Philadelphia was about 3 years old, Dr. John Rodman bought 500 acres in what is now the western part of Moorestown. This area was known as Rodmantown and the growing area around the spring near Stanwick Road was known as Chestertown. The name Moorestown did not come into use until the middle part of the 18th century. It was named in honor of Thomas Moore who was its first tavern keeper as well as its first realtor. His historic inn stood on King's Highway near the northwest corner of Main and Union Streets.

OMG I know there are no coincidences in this lifetime so I know this video was meant for me to see!!! Just 2 days ago I was reading up in this topic because my great grandmother was full blood Nanticoke and mitsawokett!! My family is from Jolly Neck in Delaware later migrating to Canada. My family is also intertwined with all the families from that area including miller, counselor, Morgan, Wright and more but our sir names start with Sammons and Handsor. We have a cemetery in Canada with some of my ancestors there. I read about some moors coming here and helping the whites settle the land and take from us as well..idk how much to believe because on 1 hand they could’ve been servants that were freed after there service was up and decided to stay. 2 could have been brought against there will and was told to be free they had to help kill off the natives or they really wanted to take over the land because the queen said so. Many reasons could’ve been in play I’m just excited to see someone talking about this moor thing with us in particular bcuz I never knew about moors with us until 2 days ago. And does this mean that the moorish treaties and such may apply to us bcuz undoubtedly we mixed with them as well?? Js

Beautiful information and people, hue and hands (similar structure). Thanks for sharing. I don't know why they always attempt to claim everything except what they actually (nevermind). Peace & love

Also I was reading about how the Blackfoot Indian name came about which is not at all how I thought. But my grandfather used to say we were Blackfoot Indian and I believed that until my cousin did research 10 years ago and found that we were Nanticoke and mitsawokett. Are these peoples one and the same?? Bcuz what I read is that they are the same but people called them Blackfoot because of the muddy area and their feet would always be black not the tribe itself referring to itself..however 10 years ago I tried to become a member or something because I know my direct bloodline and I was turned away and told that if no one in the family kept the memberships then I was just assed out..I don’t want any financial gain just a true pure connection with my people and my ancestors. To truly have and know my identity to learn and practice my cultures . Thanks for the response by the way

Question, what tribe occupied South Brooklyn?

[lorenkelly]

I descend from the Miller and Carney as well as Counsellor and Durham Delaware Moor lines in Little Creek and Duck Creek Hundred Delaware. My DNA indicates that I am white, African American and Native American....I wonder if the man speaking on this video has done his DN
A? The Delaware Moors are a tri-racial isolate; part white, native american and black. This is factual.

Thank you so much for this clarification. My family were listed as Moors of Delaware/Nanticoke -Lenape (Grinnages/Grinage). This means a great deal.

U lost me on this one, but i see that ur goal is to separate our people as some of our ancestors did. I hope everyone understand the difference between the civilized tribes and uncivilized tribes. We are all the same some just toke the gold lol.
