98 white people on the sea coast, who drove them back to their present situations.

 "Cussetuh & Chickasaw consider themselves as people of one fire (tot, cl eit,cau  hum, go, ce) from the earliest account of their origin.
 Cussetuh appointed the first miceo for them, directed him to set down in the big Savanna where they now are & govern them. Some of the Chickasaws straggled off & settled near Augusta, from whence they returned & set down near Cussetuh & thence back to their nation. Cussetuh & Chickasaw have remained friends ever since their first acquaintance.
 
 During the late war between the Creeks & Chickasaw, Cussetuh refused her aid & retained her long established friendship for the Chickasaws; and when the Creeks offered to make peace, their offers were rejected till Cussetuh  interposed her good offices. These had the desired effect & produced peace.
