There were t luce ( Okfuskee set t lements <>n the Chattahoochee River 
which existed for a Longer time. These were Tcula'ko-nini (Horse 
Trail). Hoh-taiga .War Ford), and Tca'hki lake (Big Shoal). They 
appear in the lists of Bartram and Hawkins, and, with the possihle 
exception of the last, in that of Swan. 1 The census of 1832 includes a 
town of the same name as the last, but omits the others. September 
27, 1793, they were attacked by Georgians and so severely handled 
that the inhabitants abandoned them and located on the east side of 
Tallapoosa River, opposite the mother town, Big Okfuskee. 2 "Wicha- 
goes" and "Ulahatchee," given in the traders' census of 1761, were 
probably Okfuskee towns. 8 Kohamutkikatska, " place where blow- 
gun canes are broken off," was a comparatively late branch of Ok- 
fuskee. The name, in an excessively corrupted form ("Nohunt, the 
Gartsnar town"), appears in the census list of 1832. 4 Hawkins has 
the following information regarding Okfuskee and its branches: 
Oc-fufl-kee; from < >c, in, and fuskee. a point. The name is expressive of the position 
of the old town, and where the town house now stands on the right bank of Tahlapoo-sa. 
The town spreads put on both sides of the river and is about thirty-five miles above 
Took-au-bat-che. The settlers on' the left side of the river are from Chat-to-ho-che. 
They once formed three well-settled villages on that river — Che-luc-co ne-ne, Ho-ith- 
le-ti-gau. and Chau-ke thlue-co. 
Oc-fus-kee, with its villages, is the largest town in the nation. They estimate the 
number of gun men of the old town at one hundred and eighty and two hundred 
and seventy in the villages or small towns. The land is flat for half a mile on the 
river, and fit for culture; back of this there are sharp, stoney hills; the growth is 
pine, and the branches all have reed. 
They have no fences around the town; they have some cattle, hogs, and horses, 
and their range is a good one; the shoals in the river afford a great supply of moss, 
called by the traders salt grass, and the cows which frequent these shoals, are the 
largest and finest in the nation; they have some peach trees in the town, and the 
cassine yupon, in clumps. The Indians have lately moved out and settled in villages 
and the town will soon be an old field; the settling out in villages has been repeatedly 
pressed by the agent for Indian affairs, and with considerable success; they have 
seven villages belonging to this town. 
1st. New-yau-cau; named after New York. It is on the left bank of Tallapoosa, 
twenty miles ab< >ve Oc-fus-kee; 5 these people lived formerly at Tote-pauf-cau, (spunk- 
knot) on Chat-to-ho-che, and moved from thence in 1777. 6 They would not take 
part in the war between the United States and Great Britian and determined to 
retire from their settlements, which, through the rage of war, might feel the effects 
of the resentment of the people of the United States when roused by the conduct of 
the red people, as they were placed between the combatants. The town is on a flat, 
bordering on the river; the adjoining lands are broken or waving and stony; on the oppo- 
site side they are broken, stony; thegrpwthis pine, oak and hickory. The Hat strips of 
land on the river, above and below, are generally narrow; the adjoining land is broken,
