Shawnee population in the southeast. — In 1708 there were three 

 Shawnee towns on Savannah River and the number of men was esti- 

 mated at 150. The census of 1715 gives in these three towns 67 men 

 and 233 souls. In 1760 the Abihka and Tallapoosa bands together 

 were said to number 100 warriors, but the English census of 1761 in- 

 cludes merely the Tallapoosa town where, it reported, were 30 hunters. 

 In 1792 Marbury doubled this in his estimate. The Creek census of 

 1832-33 includes a "Kiamulgatown" with a total population of 175, 

 but these were probably not Shawnee. 



SISSIPAHAW ^ 



The first mention of this tribe is probably by Vandera in recount- 

 ing Juan Pardo's expedition of the year 1567, where it appears under 

 the form Sauxpa or Sauapa. He seems to locate it near the Santee. 

 In 1701 Lawson heard of them, but did not pay them a visit. Their 

 principal settlement was evidently near Saxapahaw on Haw River, 

 N. C. Barnwell identifies them with the Shakori to whom they 

 were no doubt closely related. They are mentioned as one of those 

 tribes which joined the confederation against the English in 1715. 

 Afterward they probably united with the Keyauwee, Shakori, Eno, 

 and Cheraw, and part finally fused with the Catawba, while others 

 are no doubt represented among the Indians of Lumber River. 



Sissipahaw population. — Haw Old Fields was noted as the largest 

 body of fertile land in the region, but no figures bearing on the size 

 of the tribe have been preserved. 



SOACATINO OR XACATIN 



A Caddo tribe visited by the Spaniards under Moscoso in 1542, 

 but mentioned uncertainly, if at all, by later writers. 



SUGEREE 



A small tribe on Sugar Creek in the present Mecklenburg County, 

 N. C, and York County, S. C. According to Lawson (1701), they 

 occupied many settlements, but were probably closely related to the 

 Catawba, with whom they ultimately united. In 1754 "Sugar Town" 

 appears as the name of a Catawba settlement. It is not improbable 

 that they were a branch of the Shakori. 



Sugeree population. — ^Unknown.
