Besides many Indians killed in battle, or captured and carried away as slaves (325 men, by Moore's report, and a much greater number of women and children) some three hundred men and a thousand women and children whose chiefs had submitted were removed as free Indians to the neighborhood of Savannah Town, to strengthen the immediate frontier of South Carolina. [Note 21: On the settlement of the Apalache at Savannah Town, see JCHA, April 27, 28, 1704. Quary's enthusiastic estimate of the importance of this campaign is in Docs. reI. Col. Hist. N. Y., IV] [Note 22: S.P.G. MSS A, II, no. 156. Of the fidelity of the Apalache to the Spaniards Nairne wrote that 'nothing but downright force brought them over to our side.' See also Nairne memorial, July 10, 1708]
