English citations of nanticoke

  • 1700-1708, Lawson, Voyage to Carolina, pages 76 and 77:
  • (quoted in The American Naturalist, volume 19)
    Indian rounceval or miraculous pulse, so called from their large pods and great increase; they are very good, and so are the bonavis, calavances, nanticokes and abundance of other pulse, too tedious to mention, which we find the Indians possessed of when first we settled in America.
