Osoche

Within recent times the closest connections of this tribe have been with the Chiaha, though their language is said to have been Muskhogean, but there is some reason to think that they may have been originally a part of the Timucua. Their best known historic seat was in the great bend of Chattahoochee River, Russell County, Alabama, near the Chiaha.

The suggestion that the Osochi may have been Timucua is founded on the resemblance of their name to that of a Timucua division in northwest Florida called by the Spaniards Ossachile or Ugachile;  on the fact that after the Timucua uprising of 1656 some of the rebels “fled to the woods” and on the later mention of a detached body of Timucua in the neighborhood of the Apalachicola. Early in the eighteenth century they seem to have been living with or near the Apalachicola at the junction of the Chattahoochee and Flint. From what Hawkins (1848) tells us regarding them, we must suppose that they moved up Flint River somewhat later and from there to the Chattahoochee, in the location near the Chiaha above given. They migrated to Oklahoma with the rest of the Lower Creeks, and maintained their separateness in that country for a while but were later absorbed in the general mass of the Creek Population.

The following estimates of the effective male population of the Osochi occur: 1750, 30; 1760, 50; 1792, 50. The census of 1832-33 returned a total of 539, but one of the two towns inhabited by these Indians may have belonged to the Okmulgee.

I'm headed home to Minnesota soon, but in the meantime, my sister @beluga_squad and I figured we'd try to break our previously-held record for the total number of caches found in one day. Spoiler alert: we did! TFTC :)

Put some miles on while caching today! I started out in Parker for the event, some lab caches, and working on my 360 degrees of Colorado challenge. Peace love pi was going to join me, but felt a little under the weather. I wound up meeting her a little north of here to visit a cache on its birthday, and we wound up in Brighton. We didn't have a lot of time, so we picked this power trail nearby. I didn't realize it, but we hit about 26 caches in an hour and a half. We replaced logs and containers as needed. Sorry for the cut and paste logs mondou2, but I didn't take good notes. Thanks for the smiley! Find #3354.
