So that the eight towns contain in all a hundred and twenty-two men 1 capable of 
bearing arms, having in all of women and children two hundred and ninety-five, 
which added to the hundred and twenty-two make four hundred and seventeen, the 
remains of about thirty thousand which were formerly at the service of Spain within 
the jurisdiction of Florida. 
This was written November 27, 1736, at Habana. The "Pueblo 
de Timucua" probably contained the remnants of the Timucua 
people, the rest the descendants of the Yamasee proper and the old 
people of Guale. Apalachee do not appear to have settled near St. 
Augustine in any number, although two individuals in the above 
list bear the name of that tribe. 
In a letter written at St. Augustine, August 30, 1738, and preserved 
among the Spanish Archives of the Indies, 2 is an interesting relation of 
the adventures of " the Indian Juan Ignacio de los Reyes, of the Yguaja 
Nation, one of the villages which compose the town of Pocotalaca, in 
the neighborhood of this place." This man, under orders from the 
governor of Florida, Don Manuel de Montiano, visited the English 
posts on Cumberland Island and in St. Andrews and St. Simons Sounds 
during the months of July and August, 1738, and brought back val- 
uable information regarding their condition and regarding the English 
projects with reference to St. Augustine. 
Some Yamasee evidently accompanied the Apalachee to Pensacola 
and Mobile. Under date of 1714 Barcia notes that the chief of the 
Yamasee and some of his people, along with the chief of the Apalachee, 
visited the commandant of Pensacola, and we find the legend "Yam- 
ase Land," on the northeast shore of Pensacola Bay, in JefFerys' 
map of Florida which stands opposite the title page of John Bartram's 
Description of East Florida. 3 From the parish registers of Mobile we 
learn of the baptism in 1728 of a "Hiamase" Indian, Francois, and a 
map of 1744 shows, at the mouth of Deer River, near Mobile, a settle- 
ment of "Yamane," the name evidently intended for this tribe. 4 
Under date of July, 1754, the Colonial Records of Georgia speak of 
the Yamasee as still allied with the Spaniards, 5 and about the year 
1761 we hear of "a few Yamasees, about^O men, near St. Augus- 
tine." 6 
Meantime, however, they were being^harrassed continually by the 
Creek Indians in alliance with the English, and presently some 
Creeks began to move into the peninsula and make permanent homes 
there. Bartram, who visited Florida in 1777-78, speaks of the 
Yamasee Nation as entirely destroyed as a distinct body, and he 
i This should be 123 if there is no error in the lists on which it is based.
