Excerpt from The Natural History of North-Carolina: With an Account of the Trade, Manners, and Customs of the Christian and Indian Inhabitants; Illustrated With Copper-Plates, Whereon Are Curiously Engraved the Map of the Country, Several Strange Beasts, Birds, Fishes, Snakes, Insects, Tress, and Plants,
It will not be to my purpose to enquire whether America was known to the Antients, there being various Opinions about it, yet with more Curiosity than certainty whence this New World was Peopled; some assigning that the Hesperides (so called from Hesperus King of Spain) and the Continent of America were Peopled by the Spaniards. Others affirm that the Americans are the Race of Jews carried into captivity by Salamanazer and placed in Countrys till then not Inhabited, after a progress of 18 Months.
