AXILLE AZQUELTAN 



[b. a. e. 



Azille. A former fortified village of 50 

 houses in n. w. Florida., visited by De Soto 

 in 1539. It was on a river, doubtless the 

 one which still retains the name Ocilla. 

 The same root may appear in the name 

 of the province, Uzachil. It was on the 

 frontier of the territory of the Apalachee 



tribe.

 of Delaware r. , between Rancocas cr. and 

 the present Trenton. In 1648 they were 

 one of the largest tribes on the river, 

 being estimated at 200 warriors. Brinton 

 thinks the name may be a corruption of 

 Assiscunk, the name of a creek above 

 Burlington. See Evelin (1648) in Proud, 

 Pa., I, 113, 1797.

Ayanabi ( ' ironwood ' ) . A former Choc- 

 taw village on Yannubbee cr., 2 m. above 

 its confluence with Petickfa, about 8 m. 

 s. w. of Dekalb, Kemper co., Miss. Ac- 

 cording to tradition it was the scene of a 

 conflict between the Creeks and the 

 Choctaw in the 18th century, and being 

 a neutral town was selected as the place 

 for negotiating peace. In 1811 the town 

 was visited by Ellskwatawa, the Shawnee 

 Prophet, in the interest of Tecumtha, and 

 2 years later a band of about 30 of its 

 warriors joined the Creeks in the British 

 cause.
