Code entry
In 1607 Governor Ibarra states that during Holy Week he had received visits from the chief of Santa Lucia, Don Luis, the Little Captain of Ais, Don Juan Gega, and others, "who are the principal lords of the mouth of the Miguel Mora." 2 This name was given to the opening between the Florida mainland and the keys on the eastern side. From a letter written the following year it appears that Don Luis, chief of the mouths of Miguel Mora, and the chief of Guega[Jeaga] had been at war, and that the governor had made peace between them.1 (Swanton)
