One of the oldest branches of Okfuskee was Sukaispoga, "place 
for getting hogs," called by Hawkins "Sooc-he-ah," and known to 
the traders as "Hog Range." It appears in the censuses of 1760 
and 1761, and in the lists of Bartram, Swan, and Hawkins. 1 In 1772 
it had about 45 gunmen. 2 From Hawkins's description, given 
below, it appears that the town united with Imukfa about 1799, and 
therefore the name does not appear in the census rolls of 1832. 
Imukfa was, according to Hawkins, made up of settlers from "Thu- 
le-oc-who-cat-lau" and the people of the town just referred to. 
" Thu-le-oc-who-cat-lau " is evidently the " Chuleocwhooatlee " which 
he mentions in 1797 in his letter and which was "on the left bank 
of Tallapoosa, 11 miles below Newyaucau. 3 Tohtogagi [To'togagi]is 
noted by Swan 4 and described (see below) by Hawkins. It preserved 
a separate existence after its removal west of the Mississippi down 
to the Civil War and was located east of the Canadian. Sometimes 
it was known as Hitcisihogi, after the name of its ball ground, though 
in the census of 1832 Hitcisihogi appears as an independent town. 
Perhaps two originally independent towns were later united. 
While giving Atcina-ulga as an Okfuskee town, Hawkins says it 
was settled from Lutcapoga. 5 These two statements can not be 
reconciled, unless we suppose that some Okfuskee Indians were 
settled at Lutcapoga. Another branch village given by Hawkins is 
Epesaugee (Ipisagi). 6 
At a very early day several Okfuskee settlements were made on the 
upper course of the Chattahoochee. One was called Tukpafka, 
"punk," a name applied in later times to an entirely distinct town, 
originating from Wakokai. The name of this particular settlement 
occurs in Bartram's list and is referred to by Hawkins, as will be 
seen below. 7 In 1777 (see below) they moved over to the Talla- 
poosa, where their new settlement was called Nuyaka, an attempt 
at modifying the name of New York City to accord with the re- 
quirements of Creek harmonic feeling. According to Swan the name 
Nuyaka was bestowed by a Colonel Ray, a New York British loyal- 
ist, 4 while Gatschet says it was so named after the treaty of New 
York, concluded between the United States Government and the 
Creek Indians August 7, 1790. 8 It appears in the lists of Swan and 
Hawkins, but not on the census rolls of 1832. 9 After the removal 
this town continued to preserve its identity and in 1912 it was the 
only Okfuskee division that still maintained a square ground.
