Eveleigh joined the Indian board because he sold to traders on credit
Probably no merchant in South Carolina was so long or so extensively engaged in the business as Samuel Eveleigh. Instead of employing factors at wages, like Bee, Eveleigh engaged on a large scale in supplying traders to the Creeks and the Cherokee with trading goods on credit. Consequently, he was more than a little interested in the machinery of Indian regulation, one of the chief functions of which was to secure the merchants against defalcation of the traders or thefts by the Indians. From 1712 to the Yamasee War Eveleigh was a member of the Indian board. 57
