Another band of Shawnee came from the north about this time [1731], but whether the two belonged to the same Shawnee subdivision we do not know. These were evidently the Indians encountered by Adair in the year 1747 on their way south.1 According to Draper these Shawnee made a settlement in the northern part of the Creek Nation, and after a few years returned to the Ohio without going farther south.2 Adair himself speaks of the Shawnee "who settled between the Ooe-asa and Koosah towns." 3 Some Chickasaw legends regarding the movement of these people to the Creeks and back is given in another place.4 At any rate several distinct Shawnee settlements existed among the Upper Creeks at the same time.
