SWANTON] INDIANS OP THE SOUTHEASTERN UNllTED STATES 131 



as far as the borders of North Carolina. Wyanoke Creek preserves 

 the name. I am, however, of the opinion that the two were distinct 

 and that Yardley's remarks are based upon an actual immigration 

 of this tribe from farther south, like several other Siouan tribes. 

 The name of the Enoree River in South Carolina may furnish a clue 

 as to their original habitat. In 1670 Lederer heard of them as living 

 about the headwaters of the Tar and Neuse, where a small river 

 preserves the name. In 1701 Lawson found their village, which he 

 calls Adshusheer, on Eno River about 14 miles east of the site of 

 Hillsboro, N. C. Lawson also includes Eno in his list of Tuscarora 

 villages. In 1714, along with the other Siouan tribes, they moved 

 toward the settlements. Two years later Governor Spotswood of 

 Virginia proposed to place them, along with the Cheraw and 

 Keyauwee, at Eno town on "the very frontiers" of North Carolina, 

 but the plan was defeated by the latter colony. Afterward they 

 moved into South Carolina and part at least ultimately united with 

 the Catawba. 



Eno population, — In 1709 this tribe and the Tutelo, Saponi, Occa- 

 neechi, and Keyauwee together were said to number only 750 souls. 

 Mooney estimated that this tribe and the Shakori numbered 1,500 in 

 the year 1600, a figure which I should cut to 1,000. 



EUTAULA OR YUTALA 



A Muskogee tribe or band which, according to Cherokee tradition, 

 lived at a very early date upon Euharlee Creek, an affluent of Etowah 

 River, Ga., where is a town of the same name. Whether this tradi- 

 tion is correct or not, we find the Euf aula in the early historic period 

 on Talladega Creek in Talladega County, Ala., where they occupied a 

 town later called Eufaula Hatchee or Eufaula Oldtown. Compara- 

 tively early in the eighteenth century most of these Indians seem to 

 have left this place to settle on the middle course of Tallapoosa 

 River, 5 miles below Okfuskee. In 1792 there were two settlements 

 here. Big Eufaula and Little Eufaula. It was probably from this 

 place that a colony was sent which settled Lower Eufaula on the 

 Chattahoochee sometime before 1733. In 1752 this town was 45 

 miles below the main Coweta settlement, and it was reported to be 

 made up of renegades from "all the towns of the Nation." Although 

 the nucleus was, as we have seen, Muskogee, there was a very large 

 Hitchiti element in it. The census of 1832-33 mentions a village 

 belonging to these people known as "Chowokolohatches," though this 

 may have contained Sawokli Indians. In 1767 Romans says a col- 

 ony of Eufaula Indians went to Florida and established themselves 

 in a town called Tcuko tcati, or "Red House," near a hammock north 

 of Tampa which bears the same name. They formed the nucleus
