1863 Refugee Creek & Euchee Indian Census

This is a census of the Refugee Creek and Euchee Indians, located on the Sac & Fox Reservation in Kansas under the charge of Geo. A. Cutler, U. S. Indian Agent, dated Dec. 30, 1863.   For more information about the Refugee Creek Indians see Senate Doc. 420. 

The original record was written at one time and in the same hand indicating it was compiled from other source records.  It is noted that common words such as "fixico", "harjo", "e marthla", and "thlocco" that are spelt similarly in other historical documents are listed here as "jix e coh/koh", "har goh", "e ma sla/cla", "sla/cla slo/koh".  It is also noted that town names such as "Tulwa..." and "Cowetah" are misspelled as "Tulna..." and "Conetah", the "w" clearly being misinterpreted as "n".

The name index does not index the Euchee Indians or the 12 miscellaneous families.  On the Euchee Indian census the letters n, u, and w are difficult to distinguish from each other.
