“Goods supplied to Indians by Colonel Byrd”, from
McDowell, William L. Colonial Records of
South Carolina: Documents Relating to Indian Affairs, 1754-1765. Columbia,
SC. University of South Carolina Press. pp.456-458. These were
likely primarily provided to the Cherokee, even though not always stated as
such. (Thanks to J. Mullins)
