Carolina counted 770 Alabama Indians in four villages
The same limitations would probably apply to the figures in the Carolina census of 1715, in which we find [the Alabama] given four villages, 214 men, and a total population of 770. " According to a French manuscript of the third decade of the same century there were then 6 Alabama towns and 400 men.12 The estimate of 1750 seems to mention only two Alabama towns with 15 and 40 men, respectively. De Kerlerec places the number of Alabama warriors at 1,000 in 1758, but he includes the Talapoosa Indians and Abihka, therefore his figure is of no value.13
