Several people showed an interest in finding out what responses I'd get on my question about directions to the subject location. The Shawnees were called the Sewickleys, Asswikelas, Shaweygila, & Hathawekela and in South Carolina they were called the Savannas. According to Sipe, C. Hale. The Indian Chiefs of Pennsylvania. Butler, Pa: Ziegler Printing Co., 1927. On page 35 he talks about our Shawnees as the Sewickleys, Asswikelas, Shaweygila, Hathawekela "come from South Carolina prior to 1730 by way of Old Town Maryland, and Bedford Pa., and principal village called Sewickley Town was at the junction of this (Sewickley) creek and the Youghiogheny River in Westmoreland County. There were probably the first Shawnees to settle in Western Pennsylvania." Then over on page 112 about 3/4 of the way down it talks about the Shawnee town called Asswikales, or Sewickley Town the Youghiogheny River at the mouth of Big Sewickley Creek in Westmoreland County. Page 113 The Asswikales, also called the Hathawekela, before coming to Pennsylvania, were known to the early settlers of South Carolina, as the Savannas. The Asswikales were probably the first Shawnees to settle in Western Pennsylvania within historic times, coming by way of Old town Md, to Bedford pa, then westward. Sewickley Creek in to Westmoreland County, Sewickley Town at the mouth of that Creek and another place called Sewickley Old Town, which some authorities locate on the Allegheny River some miles below Old Chartiers town were named for them. According to Davenport, Jonah. " The examination of Jonah Davenport, Indian trader. Taken before his Hon. Lieut. Gov. of Pensa." Pennsylvania Archives I, Series 1 (1852), 299-300. The number of Shawanese living at Allegheny is reported to be 260 in this 1731 deposition which also details French attempts to gain the alliance of the Shawanese living there by taking several to Montreal and by providing them with a resident gunsmith. A census of the Shawnee towns in Allegheny accompanies the deposition (pp 301-02). This census shows the Shawnees at the town named Asswikales having 50 families lately from S. Carolina to Ptowmack, & from thence thither,. making 100 men; Aqueloma, their chief. It also indicated Achequeloma, Chief of the Asswikales, true to the English. Author: Hanna, Charles A.
