The Spanish census of 1738 gives 111 men in Kasihta,15 the French census of 1750 more than 80,15 and that of 1760, 150,15 while that of 1761 places the number of hunters belonging to it at 100. 17 With this Taitt (1772) agrees,18 but Marbury (1792) raises it, counting in the villages, to 375 (p. 434). In 1799 Hawkins estimated the number of gunmen here at 180, although they themselves placed it at 300.1 It was then the largest town in the nation. The census of 1832 gives them seven distinct settlements and a total population of 1,918 Indians and 134 slaves.2 They are now, of course, much reduced in numbers. (Swanton)
