annotates: Holmes translated a very detailed Spanish census document of the Choctaw in 1795.

It details the "villages" with "great medal chiefs," "small medal chiefs," "captains," and the total population of the towns. Each of these categories is presented in original spelling but with extensive notations and potential alternate spellings and matches.

Based on the notes, it appears that the census was certified at Fort Tombecbe, and one of the signatories was Simon Favre who has deep historical roots in coastal Mississippi and the history of the Choctaw in Mississippi.
