Although perhaps not as prominent toward the close of Apalachee history as San Luis de Talimali Ibitachuco, the San Lorenco de Ybithachucu of the missionaries, has the longest traceable history. It appears as far back as the De Soto narratives in the forms Ivitachuco, Uitachuco, and Vitachuco, although Garcilasso, our authority for the last form, bestows it upon a Timucua chief instead of an Apalachee town.2 In a letter of 1677 it appears as Huistachuco,8 in the mission list above given Ybithachuco, and in the Apalachee letter written to Charles II in 1688 Ybitachuco.4 Finally, Colonel Moore, who destroyed it, writes the name Ibitachka.5 (Swanton)
