swA\-Tf»;l KAIM.V EISTORY OF THE CREEK INDIANS 425 
included in this last census. In 1761 the}' and the neighboring 
villages, probably of the same connection, were estimated to con- 
tain only 50 hunters. 1 Hawkins says thai Sawoklutci contained 20 
families, hut gives do figures for Sawokli itself. 2 Young (1821) gives 
8 town called Khav ho-ka-les, apparently intended for Sawokli, having 
150 inhabitants. 4 He gives 580 in Okitiyagana. 8 The census of 
L832 gives 187 Sawokli, besides 42 slaves, 157 in its branch town, 
Okawaigi, and 106 in another branch, Hatcheetcaba. 4 The few still 
living are about Okmulgee, Oklahoma. 
The Pensacola Indians were so insignificant in historic times that 
Bienville, writing in 1725 or 1726, says there were not more than 
40 men in their village and that of the neighboring Biloxi together. 5 
In 1764 John Stuart places them in one group with the Biloxi, Chatot, 
Capinans, Washa, Chawasha, and Pascagoula, and allows them all 
but 241 men. 6 
From the De Soto narratives we know that the Mobile Indians 
weit> once a powerful people. The numbers lost by them when the 
Spaniards stormed their town — 2,500 according to Elvas, over 3,000 
according to Ranjel — at once testify to this fact and to the terrible 
blow they then suffered. 7 In 1702, when Iberville was in the Pas- 
cagoula village on the river of the same name, he was given to under- 
stand that the Mobile tribe had .300 warriors and the Tohome as many 
more, but two years later he visited them himself and estimated that 
both together comprised only about 350. 8 Du Pratz, about 1730, 
says that the Tohome were of approximately the same size as the 
Chatot, which he estimates to include about 40 cabins, but he gives 
nothing with reference to the population of the Mobile. 9 In 1758 
De Kerlerec estimates the Mobile Tohome and Naniaba at about 100 
warriors. 10 
In 1725-26 Bienville states that the Mobile numbered only 60 men, 
the Big Tohome 60, and the Little Tohome — probably identical with 
the Naniaba — 30, and he adds that within his own remembrance the 
former had counted 500 and the latter 300. n This is difficult to recon- 
cile with the statements made by his brother. Regis de Rouillet, in 
1730, gives the number of warriors as 30, 60, and 50, respectively, 
making the Mobile the smallest of the three. 11
