...for specific information regarding the subsequent troubles of these people we are obliged to turn to French and English sources. Unfortunately the similarity between the words Chatot and Chacta, or Choctaw, has resulted in some confusion regarding the history of this tribe. Thus the following account in La Harpe [re: French Louisiana], which is made to apply to the Choctaw, probably refers in reality to another English and Creek attack upon the Chatot: "Jan. 7, 1706, M. Lambert brought a Chacta chief; he brought the news that this nation had been attacked by four thousand savages, at the head of whom were many English, who had carried away more than three hundred women and children.0 (Swanton)
