About 1730 this last [Yuchi on the Tennessee River] was supposed to count about 150 men.10 In 1760 there were 65 men, 15 in an Upper Creek town.11 In 1761 the Yuchi among the Lower Creeks are credited with 50 hunters,12 and to them must be added a few Choctawhatchee Yuchi enumerated with the Tukabahchee. Bartram, in 1777, estimated their warriors at 500 and their population at from 1,000 to 1,500. 13 In 1792 Marbury reports 300 men, which would mean a population of over 1,000 (p. 434). By 1799, when Hawkins wrote, practically all of these had been gathered into one main settlement, though with outlying villages.14 Young (1822) gives in one settlement 130 Yuchi.15 In 1832 two Yuchi settlements appear, having a total Indian population of l,139.ie Dr. Speck states that their number "can hardly exceed five hundred" at the present day (1909),17 but the official enumeration for 1910 was only 78.18 (Swanton)
