Cofitachiqui. A town and province of 

 the Yuchi(?), situated on Savannah r. ; 

 visited bj^ De Soto in 1540. According 

 to Pickett (Inv. of Ala., 41, 1849) there 

 was a tradition among the Indians about 

 1735 that the town stood on the e. bank 

 at Silver Bluff, Barnwell co., S. C, and 

 this view is taken by Jones (De Soto in 

 Ga., 1880). On the other hand, the 

 name of Vandera's Canos (Smith, Col. 

 Doc. Fla., I, 16, 1857), identified with 

 this place, is preserved in Cannouchee, 

 a N. w. affluent of Ogechee r., Ga., while 

 another place called Cannouchee is in 

 Emanuel co. , Ga. The province was 

 governed at the time of De Soto's visit 

 by a woman who was at war with the 

 people of Ocute and Cofaqui. She gave 

 the Spaniards a friendly reception and 

 entertained them for .several days. This 

 friendship was ill requited by the Sjianish 

 'eader, who carried her away with him a 

 urisoner, but she managed to escape in 

 tne mountainous region of n. e. Georgia, 

 returning to her village with a negro 

 slave who had deserted the army. Her 

 dominion extended along the river to 

 about the present Habersham co., Ga., 

 and westward probably across a third or 

 more of the state. (c. t. )

 1863) as one of the 4 divisions of the 

 Opata, inhabiting principally the valley 

 of the Rio Babispe, a tributary of the

 Sonora, Mexico. Their villages, so far 

 as known, were: Bacadeguachi, Guazavas, 

 Matape (in part), Mochopa, Nacori, 

 Oposura, Oputo, and Tonichi. As the di- 

 vision was based on neither linguistic nor 

 ethnic characters, Coguinachi, Teguima, 

 and Tegui were soon dropped as classifi- 

 catorv names.
