Custaloga's Town. The Dela wares had 

 two villages, each known as Custaloga's 

 Town, from the name of its chief, prob- 

 ably one and the same person. The first 

 village was near French cr., opposite 

 Franklin, Venango co., Pa., in 1760; the 

 other was on Walhonding r., near Kill- 

 bucks cr., in Coshocton co., Ohio, in 1766. 

 The chief of this second village was chief 

 of the Unalachtigo Delawares, and had 

 probably removed from the first village 

 about 1763. The name is also written Cos- 

 teloga, Custalaga, Custologa, Custologo, 

 Kustaloga. (j. m. ) 



Cutalchicli. A tribe or subtribe that 

 visited the Avavare, in whose country 

 Cabeza de Vaca (Smith trans., 72-74, 

 84, 1851) stayed during the latter part 

 of his sojourn in Texas in 1528-34. They 

 spoke a language different from that 

 of the Avavare, and lived inland near 

 the Maliacon and the Susola. Learn- 

 ing of Cabeza de Vaca's success in treat- 

 ing the sick, the Cutalchich applied to 

 him for help, and in return for his serv- 

 ices gave "flints a palm and a half in 

 length, with which they cut," and which 

 ' ' were of high value among them. ' ' They 

 showed their gratitude also by leaving 

 with him, as they departed, their supply 

 of prickly pears, one of their staple foods. 

 Although the Cutalchich dwelt in the 

 region occupied in part by agricultural 

 Gaddoan tribes, they seem not to have 

 cultivated the soil, but to have subsisted 

 on roots and fruits, as did the tribes 

 nearer the coast. Their ethnic relations 

 are not determined. (.\. c. f. )

 the Pueblo rebellion, which continued 

 with interruptions until 1696, resulted in 

 the abandonment of the village in the 

 latter year and the settlement of its surviv- 

 ing inhabitants in the neighboring Tewa 

 pueblos. In 1699 the site of Cuyamunque 

 was granted to AlonzoRael de Aguilar, and 

 regranted in 1731 to Bernardino de Sena, 

 who had married the widow of Jean 

 I'Archeveque, the murderer of La Salle.
