Evidence seeming to mark out various steps in the migration of [the Timucua and Osachi include] a town or tribe near the junction of the Apalachicola and Flint Rivers called "Apalache o Sachile" at a considerably later date.15 The o in the last term has been mistaken by the cartographer for the Spanish connective o, but there can be no doubt that it belongs properly with what follows. Osochi is always accented on the first syllable. The spot indicated on this map is that at which the Apalachicola Indians settled after the Yamasee war. We must suppose, then, unless we have to do with a very bad misprint, either that the Osochi were considered an Apalachicola band or that they were living with the Apalachicola midway between their old territories and the homes of the Lower Creeks. These facts do not, of course, amount to proof of a connection between the Ucachile and Osochi, but they point in that direction. (Swanton)
