Apalachicolas from Coweta and others raided San Carlos de los Chacatos for slaves to trade with Engledit

Instead, a 50-member raiding party of Sabacolas, Chiscas, Tiquipaches, and "Apalachicolas from Coweta," all armed with English muskets, attacked the doctrina of San Carlos de los Chacatos on the borders of Apalache Province. The raiders killed 5 persons and took 42 prisoners, telling them that they would be traded to the English for more firearms, and that then the towns of the interior would "join forces and make an end, once and for all, of espanoles and apalahinos." Captain Jacinto Roque Perez, teniente of Apalache, reported to the governor that prior to the actual raid the Tiquipaches went to "the old lugar of the Chacatos and, finding no people to kill, broke up the crosses, church, and convent saying they did it because the espanoles esteem that kind of thing highly" (Junta de Guerra, 1694).
