Okmulgee (pi. 7) . As the large Yuchi town and the Westo town 
were both here it seems probable that Woristo is meant for Westo, 
and that it was used for all of the Yuchi, especially since there is 
every reason to believe that the Westo town proper had already 
been given up. 
In 1708 a rough Indian census made on behalf of the State of South 
Carolina makes no mention of Yuchi Indians, though they may be 
included in the eleven Lower Creek towns referred to, 1 but the de- 
tailed census of 1715 gives two Yuchi towns 180 miles W. N. W. of 
Charleston. 2 They were probably north of the Shawnee on Savannah 
River between Augusta, Georgia, and the Cherokee, and constituted 
the band which moved over to the Chattahoochee after the Yamasee 
war. This band is the one to which the term Hogologe is attached 
more particularly. They were accompanied by a part of the Shawnee 
and the Apalachicola Indians, the latter under Cherokee leechee. 3 
As nearly as can be made out from the maps they settled near the 
mouth of Cowikee Creek in Barbour County, Alabama, but before 
many years they accompanied the Shawnee to Tallapoosa River. 
Their name is mentioned by Romans when enumerating the 
Creek tribes, 4 and their town is probably the Chisketaloofa of the 
census of 1761, which had 30 hunters and was assigned, along with 
Weupkees (Okitiyagana), to the traders Macartan and Campbell. 5 
Morse enumerates "Cheskitalowas" among the Seminole villages. 6 
The name Chiska also appears in much later documents associated 
with a point near the lower Chattahoochee. In a letter from the 
Secretary of the Treasury transmitting copies of the report of the 
Commissioners of Land Claims in East and West Florida, February 
22, 1825 (pub., Washington, 1825), Cheeskatalofa is mentioned as a 
town in which a meeting was held (p. 18). But while the name pre- 
served a memory of them, the greater part of the Yuchi had proba- 
bly moved even before 1761, since we know that their Shawnee 
friends had already done so. For a conjecture as to their subsequent 
fortunes see my discussion of the Tamahita, pages 188-191. 
Shortly after the Yamasee war another influx of Yuchee into the 
Savannah country took place, though little specific information 
regarding this seems to be preserved. The new arrivals settled at 
or near Silver Bluff, at Mount Pleasant, and as far down the river as 
Ebenezer Creek. 
Hawkins says that there were villages at Ponpon and Saltkechers, 
in South Carolina, 7 but this is the sole evidence we have regarding
