212 BELIEFS AND USAGES OF CHICKASAW [ETH, ANN. 44 
Cushman speaks of three Chickasaw districts in existence in Missis- 
sippi before the removal, but these must have represented either a 
late reflection of the tribal division of the Choctaw or a transitory 
condition. He says: 
Up to the time the Chickasaws moved west ... their country was divided 
into three districts, viz: Tishomingo, Sealy, and McGilvery. At the time 
of their exodus west to their present places of abode, Tishomingo (properly 
Tishu miko, chief officer or guard of the king) was the chief of the Tishu Miko 
district; Samuel Sealy, of the Sealy district, and William McGilvery, of the 
McGilvery district.®* 
Five lists of Chickasaw towns are known, two from English and 
three from French sources, made within about 70 years of each other. 
These agree in part, and it is probable that in certain of the remaining 
cases the same town is indicated under different names, though there 
is now no way of identifying these. These lists are given in the 
following table with the more probable identifications :
