(Worth SGC) During the winter of 1677-78, Captain Antonio de Arguelles made a formal visitation of Guale and Mocama, and the documentation resulting from this visit provides yet another benchmark in the retreat from the Georgia coast. Starting on the northern frontier, all four Guale and both Mocama mission towns were visited, including Santa Catalina/Satuache, San Joseph de Sapala/Tupiqui, Santo Domingo de Asajo, San Buenaventura de Guadalquini, San Phelipe, and San Juan del Puerto. In addition to these missions, however, the Yamassee inhabitants of Amelia Island were also treated to a formal visitation in the old Mocama mission town of Santa Maria. As a former mission occupied by immigrant and unconverted Yamassee Indians (its cacique Finge does not seem to have had a Christian name), Santa Maria does not seem to have been a true mission as such, and had no resident friar. Nevertheless, perhaps due to the substantial participation of the Yamassee in the repartimiento labor system, Santa Maria was included in the visitation. The large Yamassee population of St. Simons Island does not seem to have been left out either, since the caciques attending the visitations of both missions Santo Domingo de Asajo and San Buenaventura de Guadalquini were noted to be "both Christian and heathen," suggesting that these visitations were attended by representatives of the Yamassee towns on the middle of the island. San Joseph de Sapala was also host to unconverted Indians during the visitation, probably Yamassee. Ultimately, no significant group in the region was left out of the visitation process, further reinforcing the increasing integration of the Yamassee into the Guale and Mocama mission provinces.
