Each of the nine pueblos had its own small church. For the most part, these were sorry structures of "paja," or palm thatch. The largest pueblo, called "Little" Nombre de Dios, within musket range of the fort, had one of the better churches, with board walls to keep out the driving rain. Some Timucuans lived there, having moved in from a site two leagues farther away to escape the harassment of the "Chicasaes" and "other nations with whom they are at war" (Bullones, 1728; Beteta, 1738).
