English expedition of Robert Sandford found an important Indian town at Santa Elena
(Worth SGC)
The 1663 English expedition of William Hilton and the 1666 expedition of Robert Sandford found an important Indian town located at Santa Elena, but the subsequent destruction of the town by Chichimeco raiders seems to have led its cacique to seek refuge in 1667 among the Spanish missions to the south. In 1670, the town of Santa Elena was described by the English as ruined.
