SC sponsored Chickasaw capture of 150 Choctaws
But by March [1706] the patched-up peace [between Chickasaw and Choctaw] was definitely broken through the intervention, there is reason to believe, of Thomas Welch. The Chickasaw, so the French learned, made a night attack upon a Choctaw village, carrying off more than one hundred and fifty prisoners,39 many of whom probably found their way to the Charles Town slave-market. [Note 39: La Harpe, Journal historique, March 5, 1706. See JCHA, November 6, 1707, petition of Thomas Welch asking payment 'for the powder and shott he gave to the Checkesaws when the French was for persuading them to come over to their alliance.' The prime costs, £61, were allowed.]
