Although San Esteban de Tombecbe (modern St. Stephen) began as Spanish fort in 1789, English settlers had previously occupied these lands. A 1781 tabulation of their names is given here. Totals of male children (MC) or female children (FC) may be seen in the Tombecbe listing. Tombecbe lost it’s garrison with the evacuation of the Spanish on the 5th of February 1799. Indian nations held land independently of the European powers. Their inhabitants, particularly those noted in these lists, often included European Settlers who were being governed according to Indian laws. Those nations providing immigrants were the Choctaw (“Chactaâ€), Chickasaw (“Chicachaâ€), and Cherokee (“Chevaquisâ€).

The only breakdown of the region governed from Natchez is by district (Table 14, Natchez Districts). In 1787 there were four: Santa Catalina, Second Creek, Coles Creek, and Bayou Pierre. By 1792 there were seven: Second and Sandy Creek, Buffalo Creek, Homochito, Villa Gayoso (Coles Creek), Bayou Pierre, Rio Black and Bayou Sarah.
In the “Date†column of Table 20 (Natchez Origins), the symbol “a†stands for 1788 and earlier while “b†indicates 1789 or later. Most arrivals (91%) came from Kentucky (54%), Pennsylvania (14%), North Carolina (12%), Cumberland (8%) or Virginia (3%) [note: Cumberland is now eastern TN and the western edge of NC. A few settlers came from Kaskakia, a settlement in what would eventually become the state of Illinois.] North Carolina provided the largest number of emigrants arriving before 1789 (11%)
