Pintahae

Pintahae was a Nahyssan leader's residence on the Staunton River, not far from the town of Sapon. The traveller John Lederer learned of it during his journey through the Virginia interior in 1670. He described Sapon as a high, dry settlement beside the river, with rich soil around it; Pintahae, he was told, enjoyed similar advantages. The Nahyssan were related to the Saponi and Tutelo, peoples whose towns and territories lay along the inland rivers west of the coastal plain.
