Tomochichi

The Yamacraw tribe was formed in the late 1720s under the leadership of Tomochichi from some bands of Yamasee and Lower Creek people who had disagreed with the severing of friendship with the British during the Yamasee War of 1715. By 1728 the Yamacraw had settled along the Savannah River near its mouth.

The small band conformed by Yamacraw Indians existed from the late 1720s to the mid-1740s in the Savannah area

Tomochichi was a Native American head chief of the Yamacraw Indians beginning in 1728. He mediated between the native population and the new English. He died on October 5, 1739.
