Later the Tawasa came from Mobile Bay and settled near their relatives. Penicaut mentions the Alabama among those tribes which came to "sing the calumet" before M. de l'Epinay in 1717," but from the time of the founding of Fort Toulouse until the end of French domination we hear very little about these people from the French. Peace continued to subsist between them, and the greater part of the tribe was evidently devoted to the French interest. (Swanton)
