Thliwahali Creeks. However, it appears very probable that the town 

 itself had separated from Thliwahali at a very early date. 



Fus-hatchee 'population. — The following estimates of the effective 

 warriors of the town are given : 20 in 1738, more than 30 in 1750, 60 

 (including some Tawasa) in 1760, 50 (including some Coosa In- 

 dians) in 1761, and 50 in 1792. 



GRIGRA, OR, MORE OFTEN, GRI8 



A small tribe probably of the Tunican stock which, previous to 

 the arrival of the French in Louisiana, had given up its independent 

 existence and taken a position as one of the towns of the Natchez 

 Nation. It was one of those towns particularly active in opposition 

 to the French, and, in the troublous times following the Natchez 

 uprising, lost its individuality and became merged indistinguishably 

 with the Natchez fragments. 



Grigra population. — ^We have but one estimate, made about 1720- 

 25, which gives 60 warriors. 



GUACATA 



(A name which would probably be spelt Wacata in English) 



A small tribe on the southeast coast of Florida on what are now 

 St. Lucie Sound and St. Lucie River. It seems to have been men- 

 tioned first by Fontaneda. In 1565, after destroying the French 

 colony on St. Johns River, Menendez marched to the Ais country on 

 Indian River, left 200 men 3 leagues from the main Ais town, and 

 returned to Havana. Some time afterward the Ais Indians rose 

 against his men and they moved to the neighborhood of the Guacata 

 Indians, where they were treated in a friendly manner, and they 

 named the place Santa Lucia. The following year, however, the 

 Guacata also rose against them and killed 15. Although the Span- 

 iards at first drove these Indians away and built a fort, natives to the 

 number of a thousand soon assaulted the place, wounded the captain 

 and the sub-lieutenant, and killed 8 more soldiers. They renewed 

 their attacks every day and it was impossible for the Spaniards to go 

 anywhere in search of food, so that they were soon in danger of 

 famine, and part mutinied and escaped. The post was maintained 

 until 1568, when the number of Spaniards was increased so much 

 by refugees from the colony at Tekesta that they were obliged to 

 resort to cannibalism and the place was shortly abandoned. In 1699 

 we obtain an interesting view of this tribe from the narrative of the 

 Quaker Dickenson, who was shipwrecked a short distance to the 

 south. It is probable that its last representatives accompanied other 

 east coast Indians to Cuba in 1763. (See Ais.) 



Guacata population. — There are no figures available.
