Code entry
Finally, in 1645, "many of those of Guale abandoned their towns to retire among the heathen." The people of Satuache deserted their town altogether. Treasurer Francisco Menendez Marquez I went north and "reduced" the Guales "to their pueblos and doctrinas," bringing the leaders of the uprising down to St. Augustine, because, as he and his colleague Pedro Benedit Horruytiner explained, the "presidio could not be conserved without the service of these naturales" (Menendez Marquez and Horruytiner, 1647a).
