freedmen, 1,660 "Mississippi Choctaw," and 1,253 in the State of Mississippi. 
To the last figures must be added about 200 for the Choctaw in 
Louisiana, Alabama, and elsewhere. 
The only early town-by-town censuses of the Choctaw Nation 
which have come to my attention are contained in two manuscripts, 
the one in the French archives, a copy being in the Library of Con- 
gress, the other in a manuscript preserved in the Edward E. Ayer 
collection at the Newberry Library, Chicago, 1 the same from which 
the Chickasaw census on page 450 was taken. The first is dated 1730 
and is by Regis du Roullet, a French officer sent among the Choctaw 
in order to enlist their aid against the Natchez Indians; the author 
of the second is unknown and its date uncertain, that provisionally 
set for it, 1750, being more likely too late than too early. 
The following table embodies the material contained in these two 
lists, the subdivisions being given in accordance with the census of 
1750, and the orthography of the town names in accordance with 
the same census except in the case of those towns which do not 
appear in it:

his time.— Hist. Am. Inds., p. 283.
