In 1695, in retaliation for attacks upon the Apalachee, an expedition consisting of 400 Apalachee Indians and 7 Spaniards visited the towns of Coweta, Kasihta, Oconee, and Tukabahchee ("Tiquipache"). In one—the narrative does not say which—they captured 50 persons, but they found the other places burned and abandoned.2 The Oconee were on the Oconee River at this time and the Coweta and Kasihta on the Ocmulgee, so that it seems probable the Tukabahchee were then in the same general region. They perhaps removed as a result of the attack. Tukabahchee Tallahassee, noticed above as an Okfuskee town and located on the upper course of Tallapoosa River,2 was probably so named because it occupied a site formerly held by the Tukabahchee, and it is likely that this was after their removal from Georgia.
