Carolina Indians raided la Chua for three years
The cattle attracted not only pirates and rustlers, but also enemy Creeks. English-allied Indian forces leaving the siege of St. Augustine in 1703 moved into Potano, where they raided San Francisco and drove herds of horses, cattle, and humans up the Alachua-St. Marys Trail and into Carolina. From then until 1706 these slave raiders, armed by the British, continued to return to Florida. (Governor Zuniga y Cerda, March 30, 1704; Ju Pueyo and Joseph Benedit Horruytiner, November 10, 1707. [Note: Vanderhill, in "Alachua Trail," postulates that this trail was in existence by the late seventeenth century.] They did not have to carry their own provisions.
