A village of hostile Delawares(?) in 1754,  probably on Susquehanna r., Pa.; possibly the people of Allemoebi, the "king" of  the Delawares, who lived at Shamokin about 1750 (<i>Drake Trag. Wild., 153, 1841</i>). </p> <p>Atrakwaye (probably 'at the place of the sun', or  south). A palisaded town of the Conestoga, situated in 1608 on the E. side of  Susquehanna r. , below the forks at Northumberland, in Northumberland co., Pa.  Probably identical with the Quadroque of Smith's map of Virginia, whereon it is  placed from information derived by Smith directly from the Susqnehanna  (Conestoga). The Journal of the Jesuits for 1651-52 states that during the  winter of 1652 this town was taken by 1,000 Iroquois warriors who, with a loss  of 130 men, carried away 500 or 600 captives, chiefly men. Atrakwaye was the  seat of the Akhrakouaeronon, a division of the Conestoga. (.T. N. B. H. )</p> <p>Attaock. A <a href="https://accessgenealogy.com/native/conestoga-tribe.htm"> Conestoga</a> village existing in 1608 w. of Susquehanna r. , probably in what  is now York co., Pa. Smith (1608), <i>Virginia, I, map, repr. 1819.</i></p> <p>Attique.
