There were no census enumerators >' In those early days and bo no accurate answer may be given. It Is a rather general popular Idea, however, that there were1 very many' more Indians hero at that time than| actually were living within our state^ borders. The same applies to the United States as a whole. It la possible that there were fewer Indians living In what is now South] Carolina two hundred and seventy-, five years ago than there are white and colored residents of Greenwood' county. A* | The total population of South Carolina today is something over one and a half million people. The white have a slight majority, a change that has come about since the World War. This white and colored population' has been developed within a period of two hundred and seventy-flve years. | The Indian population, with the exception of the remnant of Catawbas in York county, has become extinct. ! An estimate of the Indian population of the state in 1715 in public] record of the state and noted by Dr. D. A. Wallace In his history of South Carolina, Is twenty-nine thousand souls, divided Into groups, male and female, boys and girls. , Practically the same estimate was furnished the British authorities in 1719 by Governor Johnson. Writing over sevepty-five years later, Gov. John Drayton, (1890-02) estimated a total Indian population In South Carolina "originally" at fronl thirty to forty thousand souls?'but as noted lu the reference in Hammond's Handbook of South Carolina published in 1883, data or source of this estimate is given. The popular idea that the early settlers found an Indian or two with a tomahawk behind every bush is quite erroneous. Why was the Indian population so Mnall and why did it not increase as (lid the white and colored immigrants? There is more than one answer but one prominent due is: The Indian, did not maguify family life or tl\e rearing of children. The braves were taught from childhood to be good fighters gud hunters and the Hlea of living at home and "bringing up a family" whs not at all in their system of doing things. The Cherokoes were the most numerous in South Carolina, all early writers agree. There were twentyseven tribes in the Cherokee nation. The twenty-seven-tribes listed in the Hammond account were, the Echotee, Nequasee, Tehohee, Chatusee, Noyowee, Chagee, Estatoe, Tussee, Cusatee. Tugala, Keowee, Echay, Aconee, Toxaw<ay, Seneka, Tewaraw, Jnckwaswa, Chieobee, Naguchie, Totero, Quarcoratele, Chota, Enoe. Stickeoy, Ksaw, Sapona, and Wiaack. Some of these names can be recognized today in the names of streams, towns and communities. "Sapona." for example, Was long the fl rat name of what Is now "Cuffey Town creek" "Spoiled as one word or two, apparently as fancy dictates. The Catawba nation had only one tPtbe. Originally they were a tribe in Canada but were driven South by the more powerful Coneswangers, reaching South Carolina about 1660 or not long before the first permanent white settlement was made. The Cherokees and Catawbas were in our Piedmont section. The Uchees, apparently ahead of their neighbors in living standards, occupied the area of Edgefield, Aiken and Barnwell counties. They were absorbed by the Creeks, a more bloody-minded set. There was only one tribe of Uchees. The Creeks were along the lower Savannah and there were six tribes in their nation; the Savanha, Serma, Cusobee, Yamassee (notice this spelling and present pronunciation of today's spelling.) Huspa and Cosah. Nations with only one tribe, as noted by Hammond, in addition to Catawbas and Uchees, were: Salutah, Congarpe, Santee, Waxhaws, Sewee and Kadapaw, and those nations with two tribes only; Wateree and Chickasee, Westoes and Stonoes. The Cheraw were sometimes called Saraw.? Greenwood Indox-Jorual. DELINQUENT TAXES n^ . Sheriff's Notice To Owner Of Mortgage v Nottce is hereby given to Ella B.
