We know nothing of the date when [the Chiaha] settled among the Lower Creeks, except that it was before the year 1715. We find them among the Creek towns on Ocmulgee River on some of the early maps, such as the Moll map of 1720 and a map in Homann's atlas of date 1759, the information contained in which evidently antedates the Yamasee war (see also pl. 3). In 1715, however, nearly all of the Lower Creeks moved over to the Chattahoochee, the Chiaha among them. On later maps the Chiaha appear on Chattahoochee River, sometimes under the name "Achitia," between the Okmulgee on the north and a part of the Yuchi known as the Hoglogees on the south. They seem to have been numerous, and Adair mentions "Cha-hah " among his six principal Creek towns.2 (Swanton)
