Montiano found reports that the Scottish gave Yamasee weapons to catch slaves
(Worth SGC)
1739-8-15 Montiano's cover letter and index for his document package to the king
...it is on record that the Scottish who [f.3] had settled it two years before, and the principal leaders who governed them, gave to the Yamase Indians thirty shotguns and cutlasses so that they would take them Indian slaves in price of [the weapons], and they carried 21 Christians from the province of Timucua, church furnishings, and chalices of silver, and that they turned them all over to the said principal leaders in payment for the said weapons, some of which were bought by some Englishmen from San Jorge.
