What became of the Okmulgee
The Okmulgee are enumerated first in 1750, when they are credited with more than 20 men, and the census of 1760 gives them 30 men.10 In 1761 they are said to have had, together with the Chiaha and Osochi, 120 hunters." Hawkins does not give their numbers, but Morse in 1822 says, on the authority of Young, that there were 220 in all.1 They may be one of the two Osochi towns in the list of 1832 which number almost alike.2 The omission of their name is strange since, after the removal to Oklahoma, they constituted a very important town.
