By a treaty of March 24,
1832, the Creek Indians ceded to the United
States all of their land east of the
Mississippi River. Heads of families were
entitled to tracts of land, which, if
possible, were to include their
improvements. In 1833 Benjamin S. Parsons
and Thomas J. Abbott prepared a census of
Creek Indian heads of families, which gave
their names and the number of males,
females, and slaves in each family. The
entries were arranged by town and numbered;
these numbers were used for identification
in later records.
This census is only a
partial depiction of the 1832 Creek Census.
