On 12-15 October 1728 Col. William Byrd II and his party camped .6 mile west while surveying the Virginia-North Carolina boundary. Bearskin, Byrd's Saponi hunter and guide, described his tribe's religious beliefs, which, wrote Byrd in his diary, contained "the three Great Articles of Natural Religion: The Belief of a God; the Moral Distinction betwixt Good and Evil; and the Expectation of Rewards and Punishments in Another World." Bearskin's religion also included a Hindu-like belief in reincarnation.
