17. It is well known to most people living in San Agustin, Spaniards as well as Indians, that on the occasion of this siege all of those living in the provinces of Guale and Timucua, in the settlements of San Simón, Santa Maria, Santa Cruz, and San Mateo, with the soldiers and officers who composed their garrisons, retired to the city. They did so partly because they considered themselves anything but safe from the multitude of enemies who were coming down from Carolina to attack them, and partly to oppose with united forces the capture of the capital, upon whose defence depended the safety of the rest of the province. It was, therefore, in this year of 1702, that the Spaniards voluntarily withdrew from the province of Guale and the other settlements mentioned above.
