bwawton] EARLY HISTORY OF THE CREEK INDIANS 311 
Borne of the Qchees have settled with the Shaw-a-ne, at Sau-va-no-gee, among the 
( Ireeks of the upper townaj 
I will also add what Hawkins has to say regarding the settlement 
of Timothy Barnard, who plays a prominent part in Creek history, 
both before and after this time: 
This gentleman lives on the right bank of Flint River, fifteen miles below Pad-jee- 
li-gau. He lias eleven children by a TJ-chee woman, and they are settled with and 
around him, and have fine stocks of cattle in an excellent range. He has a valuable 
property, but "not productive; his farm is well fenced on both sides of the river; he 
has a peach orchard of line fruit, and some fine nectarines, a garden well stored with 
vegetables, and some grape vines presented to him by the agent. He is an assistant 
and interpreter, and a man who has uniformly supported an honest character, friendly 
to peace during the revolutionary war, and to man. He has 40 sheep, some goats, 
and stock of e\ cry description, and keeps a very hospitable house. He is not much 
acquainted with farming, and receives light slowly on this subject, as is the case 
with all the Indian countrymen, without exception." - 
The trader located at the main Yuchi town in 1797 is given by 
Hawkins as James Smithmpor. 3 
The Yuchi also appear in the enumerations of 1760, 4 1761, 5 that 
of Swan, 6 and in the census of 1832, when they were credited with 
one main town and with a branch village called High Log. 7 During 
the latter part of the eighteenth century and the first of the nine- 
teenth, settlements of Yuchi were probably scattered through south- 
ern Georgia at many places. Imlay says "The Uchees Indians oc- 
cupy four different places of residence, at the head of St. John's, the 
Fork of St. Mary's, the head of Cannuehee, and the head of St. 
Tillis (Satilla)." 8 
After their removal to the new Creek territories west of the 
Mississippi they settled in the northwestern part of the nation, where 
they continued an almost distinct tribal life, although represented 
in the Creek national assembly. The reader is referred to Dr. 
Speck's admirable paper for an account of their later condition. 9 
Besides the Savannah, the Yuchi also occupied at least the upper 
portion of Ogeechee River. This is indicated by Hawkins in his 
account of the Yuchi town just given and also by several maps of 
the eighteenth century, in which the Ogeechee is called "Great 
Ogeechee or Hughchee River," 10 the latter being one spelling of the
