The Coree (also Connamox, Cores, Corennines, Connamocksocks, Coranine Indians, Neuse River Indians) were a very small Native American tribe, now amalgamated, who once occupied a coastal area of southeastern North Carolina in the area now covered by Carteret and Craven Counties.
They were not described by Europeans until 1701, by which time their population had been decimated in a war, leaving them with as few as 125 members.
They were allied with the Tuscarora, and in 1711 they participated in the Tuscarora War. By 1715, some merged with the remaining members of the nearby Machapunga and settled in the Machapunga's single village, Mattamuskeet, on the shore of Lake Mattamuskeet in Hyde County. Other Coree remained in Carteret county (especially in isolated areas such as Indian Beach, Atlantic Beach, Harker's Island, Core Creek, and swamp lands) and became amalgamated with the white population. Chief Jerry "Turtle" Faircloth has made attempts to gain government recognition for the descendants of the Coree.
