swanton] EARLY HISTORY OF THE CREEK INDIANS 433 
is given as 1,375.' At the present day their numbers proportion- 
ately arc well kept up. 
Although (he connection is not established beyond doubt I will 
consider Tukabahchee and Kealedji together. In 1738 about 150 
men; 2 in 1750, 75+ ; ! in 1760. about 350 men; 4 and in 1761 about 
130 hunters were credited to these towns and their branches. 5 Taitt 
(1772) has 190 gunmen, 120 in Tukabahchee and 70 in Kealedji. In 
1792 Tukabahchee is, curiously enough, omitted; Kealedji is esti- 
mated to contain 100 men (p. 436). In Hawkins's time, 1799, there 
were 116 gunmen in Tukabahchee, 7 reduced very much shortly before, 
he says, by misfortunes in war. He does not give the population of 
Kealedji. In 1832 the two towns, including Hachee tcaba, are given 
a total population of 2,079 Indians and 183 slaves. 8 
The census of 1715 gives two Yuchi towns with 130 men and 400 
souls, 9 but this does not include the Yuchi on Choctawhatchee, the 
Westo, or the band on Tennessee River. About 1730 this last was 
supposed to count about 150 men. 10 In 1760 there were 65 men, 15 
in an Upper Creek town. 11 In 1761 the Yuchi among the Lower 
('reeks are credited with 50 hunters, 12 and to them must be added a 
few Choctawhatchee Yuchi enumerated with the Tukabahchee. 
Bartram, in 1777, estimated their warriors at 500 and their popula- 
tion at from 1,000 to 1,500. 13 In 1792 Marbury reports 300 men, 
which would mean a population of over 1,000 (p. 434). By 1799, 
when Hawkins wrote, practically all of these had been gathered into 
one main settlement, though with outlying villages. 14 Young (1822) 
gives in one settlement 130 Yuchi. 15 In 1832 two Yuchi settlements 
appear, having a total Indian population of 1,139. 16 Dr. Speck 
states that their number "can hardly exceed five hundred" at the 
present day (1909), 17 but the official enumeration for 1910 was only 
78. 18
