Is the river really named in 1584 for the Neusiok tribe, as Enc. Brit. is saying? "The Neuse River, the larger one, was named for the Neusiok Indians in 1584 by Arthur Barlow, one of Sir[[ Walter Raleigh\\’s scouts. The Tuscarora Indians, who occupied the peninsula, where New Bern is located, called the place “Gow-ta-no”, which means “pine in water”"[1]. "Neusiok": "An unclassified tribe, perhaps of Iroquoian stock, found in 1584 occupying the country on the south side of lower Neuse river, within the present Craven and Carteret Counties, North Carolina. They were at war with the more southerly coast tribes. In the later colonial period the Indians of the same region were commonly known as Neuse Indians and had dwindled by the year 1700 to 15 warriors in two towns, Chattooka and Rouconk. They probably disappeared by incorporation with the Tuscarora." [2] A brief note on its naming might be in order. --Wetman 11:19, 16 Mar 2005 (UTC)

_________ Addendum: Your statement "In 1865, one of the first ironclad warships built by the Confederate Navy, the "Ram Neuse", was burnt and sunk to the river bottom by occupying Union Soldiers" SRC:{http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Neuse-River} is simply not true. The Ram Neuse was ordered scuttled by its commanding officer, Lt. Commander Joseph H. Price to avoid capture by the Union forces. Citation: "After shelling the Union troops with grape and canister shot from the cannons of the Neuse, Commander Price ordered his men to place a charge under the bow and to set fire to the ship to prevent capture by the Union. The explosion blew an eight-foot hole in the port side, and the Neuse settled unceremoniously into the murky depths of the river."
