Gov. Roja hanged a rebellious cacica and sentenced her supporters to hard labor in Havana
A revolt took further toll when Governor Rojas y Borja hanged the chieftainess of Santa Maria (St. Mary’s Island) and sentenced some of her supporters, ears docked, to hard labor on the fort in Havana. Two who were eventually pardoned found that while they had been in exile their countrymen from St. Augustine to Guale had died out almost completely. [Note 112: Fr. Francisco Pareja 1/17/1617; Agustin and Juan, natives of San Juan del Puerta, el Morro, Havana, 7/2/1636]
