An estimate made in 1739 gives 1,500 warriors for the Creeks,' and one of 1747-48, "not much over 2,500 men."4 Adair says that "this nation is generally computed to consist of about 3,500 men fit to bear arms"; and adds, on the authority of a "gentleman of distinguished character," that they had doubled their numbers "within the space of thirty years past," which would be perhaps from 1720 to 1750 or 1730 to 1760.5 (Swanton)
