swanthn] EARL'S BISTORT? OF THE CREEK [NDIANS 319 
north about this time, but whether the two belonged to the same 
Shawnee subdivision we do not know. These were evidently the 
Indians encountered by Adair in the year 1717 on their way south. 1 
According t<> Draper these Shawnee made a settlement in the northern 
pari of the ('reek Nation, and after a few years returned to the Ohio 
without going fait her south. 2 Adair himself speaks of the Shawnee 
"who settled between the Ooe-asa and Koosah towns." 3 Some Chick- 
asaw legends regarding the movement of these people to the Creeks 
and back is given in another place. 4 
At any rate several distinct Shawnee settlements existed among 
the Upper Creeks at the same time. In 1752 and the year following 
there was a Shawnee town not far from Coosa River, apparently in 
the country of the Abihka Indians. In fact, some maps show two 
settlements of the tribe here, one of which is called "Cayomulgi," 
which is evidently the ''Kiamulgatown" of the census list of 1832. 5 
No town of the name is now T remembered; perhaps it was the Creek 
name for the Shawnee town, which had by the whites been applied 
to a later Creek settlement. Hawkins gives "Kiomulgee" as the 
name of the upper part of Natchez or Tallasee Hatchee Creek, which 
extends toward Sylacauga. 6 This would agree well with the location 
of a town on the Purcell map (pi. 7) called Mulberry Tree, not other- 
wise identified. It should be noted that the Creek word for mul- 
berry is K while oraulga signifies all. 
In the French census of 1760 there appear among the Creeks two 
Shawnee towns of 50 men each. One was evidently the settlement 
just mentioned, winch is called Chalakagay, perhaps intended for 
Sylacauga, a name which indicates in Creek a place where buz- 
zards are plentiful — and the other is meant for "Little Shawnee." 
The latter is placed within 3 leagues of Fort Toulouse. 7 In the census 
of 1761 we find only the latter settlement, " Savanalis opposite toMuck- 
lassee or shaircula savanalis." "Shaircula" is probably intended for 
Hathawekela. It then numbered 30 hunters and had as agents Wil- 
liam Trewin and Crook & Co. 8 Bartram includes this in his list of Creek 
towns, but confounds its inhabitants w T ith the Yuchi. 9 Swan gives a 
town bearing the Shawnee name and states that Kan-hat ki was also 
occupied by Indians of this tribe. 10 I have elsewhere shown that, on 
this latter point, he is in error. 
In 1707 Hawkins states that the trader here was "John Haigue, 
commonly called Savannah Jack," evidently a mixed blood. 11 In his 
sketch he has the following to say regarding it:
