Chowanoc War
1675–1677 war in British America
The Chowanoc War from 1676 to 1677 was between the Albemarle County colony army, and the Chowanoc Native American tribe. For two years, the Chowanoc fought with the forces of Peter Jenkins, commander of the colony's army. In the summer of 1677, acting governor Thomas Miller organized a militia, and the Chowanoc were forcibly moved to modern-day Gates County.
