(Worth SGC) APPENDIX A: LOCATIONAL DATA FOR GUALE AND MOCAMA MISSIONS, 1655-1685 Santa Maria (through ca. 1665) The physical location of the mission town of Santa Maria is known with some degree of certainty based on recent archaeological excavations, and has been found to be on the inland side of Amelia Island (Saunders, 1992). Nevertheless, the occupational record of this site is quite complex, extending from the early mission period until the final removal of the Guale and Mocama missions to St. Augustine. As noted in the Overview, the original Mocama mission of Santa Maria seems to have lasted until at least 1665, when the cacica Juana replaced Clemente Bernal, the dead cacique of the entire Mocama province at San Juan. Although not noted in the 1655 Diez de la Calle list due to the lack of a resident friar, the location seems relatively certain using both earlier and later documentary references. Sometime after 1665, Mission Santa Maria seems to have been abandoned, perhaps when the cacica Juana relocated to San Juan. Nevertheless, the mission site was reoccupied before 1673 by immigrant Yamassee refugees, and thus remained a Yamassee town until their flight after the 1683 Grammont raid. During the Yamassee occupation of Santa Maria (pre-1673-1683), its location was variously described as 6-7 leagues north of San Juan del Puerto, and between 6 and 10 leagues south of mission San Phelipe (Arcos, 1675; Diaz Vara Calderon, 1675; Fuentes, 1681; Barbosa, 1683). The fact that Santa Maria was but one of as many as four Yamassee settlements on Amelia Island during this period seems to have contributed to a considerable degree of confusion in the documentary descriptions of Santa Maria's location. The 1675 Arcos list provides perhaps the best detail regarding the mission's location with respect to these other towns, and from this information it becomes clear, for example, that in 1675 Bishop Diaz probably lumped the four Yamassee towns on the Island of Santa Maria together, noting only the distance from the southernmost town to San Juan and from the northernmost to San Phelipe (Diaz Vara Calderon, 1675). Following the reoccupation of the abandoned Yamassee town at Santa Maria by the Guale towns of Santa Catalina, San Diego de Satuache, and San Joseph de Sapala between 1683 and 1685, its location was described as being approximately half a league south of San Phelipe andjust over 3 leagues south of Tupiqui on the northern end of Amelia Island (Leturiondo, 1685; Menendez Marquez and Florencia, 1697; Dickenson, 1697). The newly reoccupied Santa Maria was also noted by these sources to be approximately 6 leagues north of both San Juan del Puerto and Santa Cruz y San Buenaventura de Guadalquini. This mission was finally abandoned and burned in the 1702 Moore raid.
