The work was assisted particularly by two native leaders, Dona Maria, chieftainess of a town within two gunshots of St. Augustine, and Don Juan, chief of the island of Tacatacuru or San Pedro, the present Cumberland Island. ...Don Juan is the chief who, although a Timucua, desired to be made mico mayor of the province of Guale.4 This chief was of great assistance in driving back the rebellious inhabitants of Guale in 1597.5 In the eastern Timucua districts alone, including Nombre de Dios, San Pedro, San Antonio, and the Fresh Water district to the south, there were said to be more than 1,500 Christian Indians in 1597. They came from all quarters, however, to be baptized.1 (Swanton)
