and children, including 1612 fighting men, in the year 1700. Judging 

 from his journal of a thousand miles travel among the Indians, from 

 South to North Carolina, they could not have been more numerous in this 

 State at that date. 



The following is a synopsis of tlie natives and tribes of Indians men- 

 tioned as residing in South Carolina :

The Cherokees were a moun- 

 tain race, occupying extensive 

 territory in Alabama, Tennessee, 

 Georgia, North and South Car- 

 olina and Kentucky. Less than 

 1-10 *of this territory is in the 

 present boundaries of South 

 Carolina, comprising the coun- 

 ties of Oconee, Pickens, Ander- 

 son, Greenville and Spartan- 

 burg, which would make the 

 number of warriors in this State 

 by Adair's computation, to have 

 been 230, or a total population 

 not exceeding 1000. They were 

 expelled in 1777, for siding with 

 the British, and are now the 

 most advanced in civilization of 

 the Indians. 



The Catawbas were a Cana- 

 dian tribe, driven thence, in 

 1650, by the more powerful Coik 

 newangas. Part of their num- 

 ber amalgamated with the 

 Chickasaws and Choctaws. The 

 remnant reached South Caro- 

 lina in 1660, fought a great bat- 

 tle with the Cherokees on Broad 

 river, and made that stream the 

 dividing line between the two 

 nations. They occupied York, 

 Chester and Lancaster counties. 

 Their warriors were estimated 

 by Governor Glenn at 400, giv- 

 ing a population of about 1600.
