In 1761 they were assigned to the traders, George Mackay and James Hewitt, along with the Point towns." Their name occurs in the lists of both Swan and Bartram.4 In 1797 the trader there was William Grey.5 Hawkins (1790) gives the following description of the Hitchiti town and its branch villages: "Hit-che-tee is on the left bank of Chat-to-ho-che, four miles below Che-au-hau; they have a narrow strip of good land bordering on the river, and back of this it rises into high, poor land, which spreads off flat. In approaching the town on this side there is no rise, but a great descent to the town flat; on the right bank of the river the land is level and extends out for two miles; is of thin quality; the growth is post oak, hickory, and pine, all small; then pine barren and ponds. "The appearance about this town indicates much poverty and indolence; they have no fences; they have spread out into villages, and have the character of being honest and industrious; they are attentive to the rights of their white neighbors, and no charge of horse stealing from the frontiers has been substantiated against them. The villages are: 1st. Hit-che-too-che (Little Hit-che-tee), a small village of industrious people, settled on both sides of Flint River, below Kit-cho-foo-ne; they have good fences, cattle, horses, and hogs, in a fine range, and are attentive to them. 2d. Tut-tal-lo-see (fowl), on a creek of that name, twenty miles west from Hit-chetoo-che. This is a fine creek on a bed of limestone; it is a branch of Kitch-o-foo-ne; the land bordering on the creek, and for eight or nine miles [Note: The Lib. of Cong. MS. has "six or eight"] in the direction towards Hit-che-too-che, is level, rich, and fine for cultivation, with post and black oak, hickory, dogwood and pine. The villagers have good worm fences, appear industrious, and have large stocks of cattle, some hogs and horses; they appear decent and orderly, and are desirous of preserving a friendly intercourse with their neighbors; they have this year, 1799, built a square. [Note: Hitchiti were also on Chickasawhatchee Creek.] Manuel Garcia calls this latter village " Totolosehache."2 According to an anonymous writer quoted by Gatsohet there were, about 1820, six "Fowl towns," Cahalli hatchi, old Tallahassi, Atap'halgi, Allik hadshi, Ectatulga, and Mikasuki.3 Most of these will be referred to again when we come to speak of Seminole towns.4 The census of 1832 mentions a Hitchiti village called Hibaje. After their removal to the west the Hitchiti were placed in about the center of the Creek Nation, near what is now Hitchita station, and their descendants have remained there and about Okmulgee up to the present time. A portion migrated to Florida and after the removal maintained a square ground for a time in the northern part of the Seminole Nation, Oklahoma. Some persons in this neighborhood still preserve the language. (Swanton)
