The following site has some information online on censuses before 1800 under the Spanish. Some of the families who intermarry within the Choctaw nation show up on some of the pages. The information is under British/Spanish records. The Washington County page at rootsweb has also added some records. Jen http://www.trackingyourroots.com/

Jen, thanks for providing this information. I wrote the History of Washington County: First County in Alabama in 1982--480 pages on a typewriter! Sure wish these lists had been so easily available at that time. Currently, I am abstracting the records of Old St. Stephens in preparation for writing a narrative history. I have abstracted land records, estate papers, deed records, newspaper (Halcyon & Tombecbe`), post masters, etc. We have many of the Spanish records and someone else is translating them, but it is slow going with the old writing. The records on the website you gave will be a big help. Sure wish I could find more about the Choctaw who lived at Hobuckintoopa (St. Stephens) before the Spanish established Fort San Esteban there in 1789. The 1803 Treaty of Hobuckintoopa was signed by the "chiefs residing on the Tombigbee, near St. Stephens." If you know of any sources on the Internet, please let me know. I have also written a book on the Choctaws in Washington and Mobile Counties --They Say the Wind is Red. It is their oral history, supplemented by documentation. It contains many names and sources that are helpful to for Choctaw research.
