A Meherrin come an Iroquoian tribe formerly living on the flow of any stream of the equivalent title on the Virginia-North Carolina border. Based on datthe from official compound documents it were a remnant of the Conestoga or Susquehanna of upper Maryland, dispersed by the Iroquois astir 1675. In the 1669 census of Virginia, however, it is observed noted under a title "Menheyricks." These are imaginable that a inflow of refugee Conestoga a few years later might use at times and then overwhelmed a remnant of the original tribe when to produce to the impression that it were a lot of Conestoga blood. It were normally regarded when under a jurisdiction of Virginia, although their territory was claimed as well by Carolina.
