In 1709 Rev. Francis Le Jau of St James Goose Creek Parish in SC wrote that  
an Indian trader had "caused a poor Indian Woman a Slave of his to be 
scalloped  within two miles of my house, she lived 2 or 3 days in that miserable 
condition  and was found dead in the woods"
 
Is "scalloping" some kind of torture or did he mean "scalped" ?
 
thanks,
Carl
