west they probably rejoined the Creeks. It should be added that 

 a few Yuchi seem never to have moved out of the Appalachian re- 

 gion, but to have remained among the Cherokee and become grad- 

 ually incorporated with them. 



Yuchi population.— The census of 1715 gives two Yuchi towns with 

 130 men and 400 souls, but, as may be seen above, this included only 

 a small part of the tribe. In 1725 a census taken by Captain Charles- 

 worth Glover returned 180 men, 200 women, and 150 children in the 

 Creek Nation. In 1730 the band still on Tennessee Kiver was sup- 

 posed to have about 150 men. In 1760, 65 warriors are reported in 

 the Creek Nation, of whom 15 belonged to an Upper Creek town. 

 In 1761 the Yuchi among the Lower Creeks are credited with 50 

 hunters. In 1774 Bartram estimated that there were 500 warriors 

 and a population of 1,000 to 1,500, In 1792 Marbury reported that 

 the Yuchi could muster 300 men, and in 1799 Hawkins states that 

 they claimed 250, not including the Yuchi among the Upper Creeks. 

 Young's list of Lower Creek and Seminole towns, dated about 1822, 

 includes a single Yuchi settlement with a total population of 130. 

 This was the band which united with the Seminole (see above). In 

 1832-33 the Creek census reported two towns among the Lower 

 Creeks and a native population of 1,139. In 1909 Speck stated 

 that the Yuchi population in Oklahoma could "hardly exceed 500," 

 but the census of 1910 gives only 78, a figure probably much too low. 

 More nearly correct is believed to be the 216 returned by the census 

 of 1930. Mooney estimated that there may have been about the 1,500 

 Yuchi in 1650, a figure if anything too low, though it would be more 

 than doubled if the Westo were included. 



TUFERA 



A tribe or town which seems to have been situated in the seven- 

 teenth century on the mainland northwest of the present Cumberland 

 Island, Ga., and was probably a Timucua group, but may have been 

 connected with the Muskogee tribe called Eufaula. 



Yufera population, — ^Unknown. 



YUI (SPANISH: IBI) 



A Timucua tribe in southeastern Georgia 14 leagues (about 36.5 

 miles) from Cumberland Island, perhaps near the present Folkston, 

 and containing 5 towns at the beginning of the seventeenth century. 

 It is seldom mentioned, but probably followed the fortunes of the 

 Timucua of Tacatacuru. 



Yid vopulation, — In 1602 it is reported to have had a population 

 of 1,000.
