The enixa or lienixa was of course the heniha or "second man" 
of the Creeks. This reference shows that the customs of the Sawokli 
were even then similar to those of the Creeks proper. 
The Sawokli mission was evidently stopped shortly afterwards by 
those influences which had brought the Apalachicola mission to a pre- 
mature end, particularly the hostile attitude of the English. 
I have ventured a guess that this was one of the three "nations" 
carried off by hostile Indians in 1706.' At any rate, the next we 
hear of them they are living among the Lower Creeks. They are 
mentioned, without being definitely located, in a Spanish letter of 
1717. 2 
The De Crenay -map of 1733 shows a town called "Chaouakale" 
on the west bank of the Chattahoochee, and another, "Chaogouloux, " 
eastward of the Flint (pi. 5). It seems probable that part of the 
tribe at least settled first near Ocmulgee River, because on the Moll 
map of 1720 they are placed on the west bank of a southern affluent 
of that stream. The name appears in a few later maps — for instance, 
the Homann map of 1759 — but none of these, except the De Crenay 
map above mentioned, shows a Sawokli town on the Chattahoochee 
until 1795, when it appears between the Apalachicola town and the 
mouth of the Flint. This is repeated on some subsequent maps. 
However, there is every reason to believe that they had been on 
Chattahoochee River ever since the Yamasee war. They appear in 
the Spanish enumeration of 1738 and the French estimates of 1750 
and 1760. 3 In 1761 the Sawokli trading house was owned by Crook 
& Co. 4 Sawokli occurs also in the lists' of Creek towns given by 
Bartram, 5 Swan, 6 and Hawkins. 7 Some of these contain a big and a 
little Sawokli, and Hawkins gives the following description of the two 
as they existed in his time: 
Sau-woo-ge-lo is six miles below O-co-nee, on the right bank of the river [the Chatta- 
hoochee], a new settlement in the open pine forest. Below this, for four and a half 
miles, the land is flat on the river, and much of it in the bend is good for corn. Here 
We-lau-ne, (yellow water) a fine flowing creek, joins the river; and still lower, Co- wag- 
gee, (partridge), 8 a creek sixty yards wide at its mouth. Its source is in the ridge 
dividing its waters from Ko-e-ne-cuh, Choc-tan hatche and Telague hache; 9 they have 
some settlements in this neighborhood, on good land. 
Sau-woog-e-loo-che is two miles above Sau-woo-ge-lo, on the left bank of the river, 
in oaky woods, which extend back one mile to the pine forest- they have about 
twenty families, and plant in the bends of the river; they have a few cattle. 10 
Besides the Big and Little Sawokli which Hawkins describes there 
was at a very early date a northern branch living in the neighborhood
