14. Measures taken by the Governor of Florida in regard to the fixing of the boundaries between his jurisdiction and Carolina:* [Arredondo note * In the archives of San Agustin and Havana.] The foregoing orders [from King 6/22/1725] having reached the hands of Don Antonio Benavides, he proceeded to carry them out, naming Don Francisco Menendez Marques, proprietary Accountant of the Royal Exchequer of San Agustin and the provinces of Florida, and Don Joseph Primo de Rivera, Captain of Cavalry and commander of the fort, as trustworthy and energetic persons, conferring upon them full power as his personal representatives, to go and confer with the English governor in regard to the demolition of the fort and the division of territories ordered made by the two monarchs, Catholic and British. Having instructed them concerning the very ancient right of the Crown of Spain as far as 36° 30', he prescribed for them definite limits only as far as the island of Santa Elena in 32° 30', by which the boundaries of both jurisdictions should be marked on the north, while to the west they should be distinguished and designated by the same parallel of 32° 30', as far as the country of the Talapuzes and Cauetas, nations subject to the rule of the Spaniards and inhabited by them up to the year 1692. 69. [Bolton note: Arredondo's distinction here is correct. Spain had settlements all the way up the coast to Santa Elena, but none beyond that place after 1570, when Father Segura's mission in Virginia was destroyed. I have seen no evidence that Spain had a post among the Talapoosas till 1692. She had a post at Apalachicola which was withdrawn in 1691.] Being charged, likewise, always to bear in mind the Treaty of 1670, in order not to claim a greater extent of territory than was permitted by the good faith with which its stipulations ought to be observed, they presented themselves in Carolina.
