Since it was posted as free domain on google, I paraphrazed the article by H. S. Halbert on Bernard Roman's map. The waterways will be done later. There is another article by Dr. Brown that includes more Newton Co. towns... Halbert, H. S., Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society, Vol VI, �Bernard Roman�s Map of � p414- 439, 1902 (References to number on map, Halbert�s notes on each is paraphrased, keep in mind cemeteries for the Choctaw�s not like ours.) Panthe� Ponte Creek and it�s tributary, Lost Horse Creek are called Coosha or Coosa towns. In Lauderdale County. Sapesssa� Kemper Co. on North side of Blackwater creek, approximately midway between Shomo Takali, and what is now Mineral Spring Branch. Panta or Panthe . No. 1 was the historic town of Coosa on the head of Lost Horse Creek. Two prongs of Lost Horse Creek, one from west, and the other from south, uniting in the northwest corner of section 30 TN 8 R 16 E. The town was situated on the north side of the west prong about 4 miles from what was in 1904 Lazelia. States about � of a mile north of where the prong�s unite was a flat hill where Charles Juzan�s trading house was located in the 1820-1830�s. States Oklahoma�s daughter Phoebe was married to Charles Juzan, that Oklahomma was the nephew of Pushamataha, had been briefly Chief in his stead, and was replaced by Nitakechi. (He skipped Tapena Homma, who is listed on government documents entirely). The cemetery is located near the east side of the town, by a knoll, her lies Nahomtima and Tapena homma. Jack Amos state�s Oklahomma buried on his farm, located about one mile on the southside of the creek. Cemetery near � acre. Chomontakli, should be Shomo Takali, located south � of sections 13 and 14 of TN 9 r 15 E. Consisted of 8 hamlets. Chief in 1830, Nita Homma, Red Bear, lived in 3rd hamlet. About 1200 yards south of his house is a prehistoric mound. There were three cemeteries there. Oka Loosa, should be Oka Lusa, Black Water, several settlements located on this creek. In 1732 a map shows Oka Lusa on south side of Black water not many miles from Petickfa. States Roman�s location is not on the Black Water, but on the White�s Branch in Kemper Co., which empties on the south side of Petickfa. There is evidence of a town on the west side of White�s branch extending across Petickfa. Hanka Ullah, should be Hankha iaola, located on flat top ridge between the Black Water and Petickfa. Ridge�s trend is northwest to southeast. The town made up of several hamlets. It was mostly in section 2 of TN 9 R 16 E. At time of treaty the Chief was Anumpulitubbe. East Yazoo Skatene, should be Yashu Iskitini, or Little Yazoo, to distinguish it from the Yazoo in Neshoba County which was a larger town. In Kemper there is a Yazoo Creek that empties into Petickfa on the north side, about a mile north it forks, the west side is named Yazoo Creek, the east Flat Creek or Flat Branch. The town lay between the mouth and the fork, and was a small town. One of the Choctaw�s who lived there was Noki Homma Hacho. Mentioned by George S. Gaines. Ebita Poocola Skatene, should be Ibetap Okla Iskitini. Located on the west branch of Yazoo Creek. Imonglasha Skatene, should be Imoklasha Iskitini, located on east branch, or Flat Creek. Cutha Aimethaw. Halbert couldn�t locate or translate this. Ayanabi, should be, Iyanabi or Yanabi. Yanubbee town is located on Yanubbee creek a tributary of Petickfa located about 8 miles southwest of Dekalb. This was written about in Vol III of both the Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society, and Alabama Historical Society. It was located in sections 22, 26 and 27 of TN 10 R 15 E. Oka Atakala, should be Oka Ahltakala, and was probably between the Yanubbee and Petickfa. Escooba, should be Oskoba, evidently a few miles east or northeast of Petickfa. East Congeeto, should be East Concheeto, should be somewhere near town of Moscow, and was destroyed in Choctaw Civil war of 1764. Lukfa, should be Lukfi, should be somewhere near the head waters of some of the prongs of Sukenatcha Creek. Bogue Toocoolo Chitto, should be Bok Tuklo Chitto, located where the Running Tiger and Sukenatcha meet about 4 miles northwest of Dekalb. Running Tiger is Shakbaktina Baleli. Yagna Shoogawa, should be Yakni Achukma, located about four miles above mouth of Running Tiger, there is a east branch there named Indian Branch. East Abeika, was at the mouth of Straight Creek and included land on the south side of Sukenatcha Creek. He also mentions Bok Apassli is the Choctaw name for Straight Creek, and it empties into the Sukentacha at section 24, TN 11 R 16E. Ebita Poocoolo Chito, should be, Ibetap Boklo Chitto, and he thinks it may be on Straight Creek. Chooco Hoola, should be Chukka Hullo, on north side of Sukenatcha, somewhere between Running Tiger and Straight Creek. May be Oka Hullo, located on and near mouth of Sanootee Creek south of Dekalb. The Creek run�s east and empties into the Petickfa. Olitasha, should be Holitha Asha, located where Dekalb is. The town was sort of a Capital, where annual meeting�s were held. It had 100 cabin�s, and two chiefs. An early 19th century chief was Tapena Hadjo (Mad Warclub) Cuthi Uckehawa�Halbert is not sure if this should be Kati Oka Hikia, located on or near the mouth of Parker Creek which empties into the Petickfa. In the southeast corner of Kemper is Puskus Takali, which seems to be the same as, Kusha Bolukta, written about in Vol III of Publications of the Mississippi Historical Society. Another town, a little northeast is Tali Chuluk, on the creek by that same name. Osuktalaya, should be Osaktalaya Tonicahaw, should be Tonik Hikia West Abeika, not identified West Yaso, should be Yashu, or Yazoo, near the head waters of Okitibbeha Creek in Neshoba County, sections 13 and 24 of TN 10 R13E. Tanampo eshubbee was Chief at time of Dancing Rabbit Creek. This town was prominent, and visited by Tecumseh in 1811. Cabe Hoola, no information Okapoolo, no information West Congeetoo, or Coonchetto, located about 2 miles west of Yazoo, extended west to almost Sand Town. Kaffetalaya, now Coffedelia, should be Kafi Talaia, Halbert disagreed with the author who traced Bernard�s map, stating the town was on Owl Creek, section 21 of TN 11 R 13E. Sekeaha, should be Shinuk Kaha, called Sand Town. Located about 7 miles northeast of Philadelphia. Town was on a flat crescent shaped ridge from which the headwaters of Buck Horn Branch, a tributary of Ocubly Creek is located. Yackni Homma, Red Land, was chief in later part of 18th century. Oka Coopoly, was on Ocubly Creek in Neshoba. Alloon Looanshaw, should be Halunlawasha, is now the town of Philadelphia. About one mile south is a Choctaw burial ground. Lukshapa. Halbert states he can do nothing with the name, but there is a Lussalaka Creek located in about the same place, and this may be the location. Lussalaka creek is a tributary of Kentarky Creek empting into the west side of Kentarky Creek. Conchatikpi, should be Kunsha Tikpi, a tributary Creek of Kentarky in southern Neshoba County. States there is a problem with where Roman�s recorded this information. Oka Chippo, may be Oka Shippa, not located. Cuctachas, should be Kashtasha, also seen as Kushtusha, located on the north side of Cushtusha Creek, about 3 miles southwest of Yazoo. Consha Cosapo, should be Kunchak Osapa, and Halbert could not locate it. He thinks it was east of Mokalusha. (see below) West Imongalasha, should be Imokalasha, located in Neshoba County, on the headwaters of Talasha Creek. This was a large town. Several hamlets were nearby, Yaneki, Chukkilissa, Onaheli, Nanihaba, and Bihi Konlo. There are two names in Neshoba County. One, correctly Okla Falaya, became the entire western district, and the other, correctly Osapo Chitto, was a large settlement. Halbert left Jasper County, towns 48-57 for later.
