between 1733 and 1761, they accompanied the Shawnee to Tallapoosa 

 River, settled on the Coosa above its junction with the Tallapoosa, 

 and were associated with the Koasati in 1761. They seem to have 

 extended their settlements as far as Mcintosh's Bluff on Tombigbee 

 River about 1763. This is the band which Hawkins found in 1796 

 living on Tallapoosa River, 1 league above the Shawnee, and in 1799 

 living with them. The Pea Creek Yuchi from west Florida had 

 meantime established themselves near the Tukabahchee. Both dis- 

 appear from the records in the nineteenth century, and we do not know 

 whether they were absorbed by the Shawnee and other Upper Creek 

 people or rejoined their kinsmen. The last influx of Yuchi from the 

 north or from the Creek Nation took place some time after the Yamasee 

 War and resulted in the establishment of settlements of the tribe 

 along Savannah River from Brier Creek down to Ebenezer Creek, 

 and with settlements at Silver Bluff, on the Ogeechee, and — so Haw- 

 kins says — at Saltkechers and Ponpon, though these points seem 

 rather far east. In 1729 a Kasihta chief, who had married three Yuchi 

 women, was responsible for bringing part of the tribe to the Chatta- 

 hoochee to a point at the mouth of Big Uchee Creek, but the rest 

 of the tribe did not leave the Savannah finally until 1751. Even 

 after the main body had gone to the Chattahoochee, they maintained 

 settlements to the eastward in southern Georgia, particularly Intuch- 

 culgau on Opilthlucco, a branch of the Flint, Padgeeligau on the 

 Flint itself, and Toccogulegau on Kinchafoonee Creek. A trader 

 named Timothy Barnard and his son by a Yuchi woman, Timpoochee 

 Barnard, played a great part in the later history of the tribe, and the 

 latter commanded a band of his people in aid of the whites during 

 the Creek War. As white settlement spread westward, the Yuchi 

 withdrew to their main town on Chattahoochee River, whither the 

 Westo had probably gone at an earlier period and possibly the Talla- 

 poosa Yuchi. In 1832 only one main town is entered in the census 

 of that year, and one branch town called High Log. The Yuchi re- 

 moved to Oklahoma with the Creeks and established themselves in 

 the northwestern part of the Creek territory, where they had as many 

 as three Square Grounds until a very late period and still held them- 

 selves aloof in some measure from the Creeks proper. Before the 

 removal, a small body went to Florida, apparently from the Chatta- 

 hoochee town, since they first appear on the west side of the peninsula 

 near the Mikasuki. Later they moved across to Spring Garden east 

 of Dexters Lake in Volusia County and were under a noted chief 

 called Uchee Billy. In 1847 there were still some left in Florida, 

 since an estimate of that year mentions a band of Indians of this tribe 

 with four warriors. In the Seminole Nation of the west, they never 

 appear as a distinct element in the population, and if any did go
