Excerpt from The Colonial Records of North Carolina, Vol. 2: Published Under the Supervision of the Trustees of the Public Libraries, by Order of the General Assembly; 1713 to 1728
The effect of all this in retarding the growth of the country was very great, both in driving old settlers away and in preventing new ones from coming in so much so that fof years after the massacre there was scarcely any perceptible increase in the population. A settlement in which the government was impotent and the Indians hostile, cruel and barbarous, was not an inviting place to stay in or to move to. But for the timely aid the people received from South Carolina the settlement on the Albe marle might have been blotted out as effectually as that at Roanoke, one hundred and twenty-five years before. Certainly for years, even with help from abroad, the colony withered and shrunk under the blighting influence of that horrible massacre and the war that followed.
