In 1656 there was an uprising among the Timucua Indians, which spread to the Apalachee, but it seems to have died out there without necessitating drastic measures, although we learn that a captain and 12 soldiers were placed in San Luis.1 In a letter written just after this war we are told that there were then six monks in the province,3 and by the mission list of two years earlier we find that they had nine missions to serve. In the memorial*of a missionary named Fray Alonso de Moral, dated November 5, 1676, it is said that there had been 16,000 Apalachee Indians in 1638, and that at the date of writing they were reduced to 5,000,' but it may be considered doubtful whether they ever numbered more than the latter figure.
