THESE INDIANS ARE ALSO CALLED FLATHEADS AND A HAD A CUSTOM DEFORMING THEIR HEADS. NOTHING OF THEIR LANGUAGE HAS BEEN PRESERVED. THEIR CLOSEST CONTACTS WERE WITH THE SUGAREE. THEY WERE POSSIBLY IDENTICAL TO THE WEESOCK, WHOSE CHILDREN WERE BROUGHT UP IN YUCHI FAMILIES (ARTHUR 1918). A BAND OF THEM NUMBERING 25 ACCOMPANIED THE CATAWBA IN FLORIDA IN 1917 AND WERE THERE AT LEAST UNTIL 1720. THEIR NAME IS PRESERVED IN WAXHAW CREEK AS WELL AS IN A TOWN IN UNION COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA.
