The following is the account of this tribe given by Gallatin (probably

derived from Hawkins) in Archæologia Americana, page 95:

The original seats of the Uchees were east of Coosa and probably of

the Chatahoochee; and they consider themselves as the most ancient

inhabitants of the country. They may have been the same nation which

is called Apalaches in the accounts of De Soto’s expedition, and

their towns were till lately principally on Flint River.
