bwahtok] EARLY HISTORY OF THE CREEK INDIANS 245 
Tulsa had several branch towns. Mention has already been made 
of one of these. 1 On the French list of 1760 and several early maps 
is a place called Xafape, or Nafabe, which was evidently a Tulsa out- 
village on a creek of the same name flowing into Ufaupce Creek. 2 
.Year, and possibly identical with this, was Chatukchufaula, although 
on some maps it appears od Tallapoosa River itself. It is evidently 
the "Challacpaulev" of Swan, 3 and I give it as a branch of Tulsa on 
the authority of Woodward.' It was destroyed in the war of 1813-14 
by Indians friendly to the United States Government and the people 
probably migrated to Florida. 5 
The "Halfway House," of which the " Ho-bo-ith-le Mic-co" of 
Hawkins was chief, is frequently mentioned by travelers. Taitt gives 
its Creek name as "ChaVucleyhatchie." He says: 
I took the bearings and distance of the path to this place which is twenty-five miles 
ENE. from the Tuckabatchie, situated on a creek called Chavucleyhatchie being the 
north branch of Nufabee Creek, which emptya itself into the Tallapuse River at the 
great Tallassies. In this village which belongs to the Tallages are about 20 gunmen 
and one trader." 
In Bartram's list (1 777) it appears as " Ghuaclahatche." 7 Although 
given as a town distinct from the Halfway house the "Chawelatchie" 
of the Pureell map (pi. 7) is evidently intended for this, especially 
since Hawkins calls it "Chowolle Hatche." 8 The name is perpetu- 
ated in the "Chewockeleehatchee Creek" of modern maps. 
Another branch was Saoga-hatchee, "Rattle Creek," which appears 
as early as 17(50. 2 Hawkins has the following to say regarding it: 
Sou-go-hat-che; from Bou-go, a cymbal, and hat-ehe, a creek. This joins on the left 
side of Tallapoosa, ten miles below Eu-fau-lau. It is a large creek, and the land on 
the forks and to their source- is stiff in places, and stony. The timber is red oak and 
small hickory; the Har- on the streams are rich, covered with reed; among the branches 
th.eland is waving and tit for cultivation. 
They have thirty gunmen in this village, who have lately joined Tal-e-see. One 
of the chiefs, O-fau-mul-gau, has some cattle, others have a few, as they have only 
paid attention to their stock within two years, and their means for acquiring them were 
.-lender. 
A hove this creek, on the waters of Eu-fau-lau-hat-che, there are some settlements 
well chosen. The upland is stiff and stony or gravelly ; the timber is post and red oak, 
pine and hickorj ; the t rees are small; the soil apparently rich enough, and well suited 
for wheat, and the stream- have some rich flats. 9 
Another branch, Lutcapoga, "terrapin resort," "place where 
terrapins are gathered," appears only in Hawkins's Letters 10 and in
