Years: 1527 - 1527

Ayllón's rough-hewn town withstands only about a total of three months, enduring hunger, disease, scarcity of supplies, and troubles with the local natives.

Of the colony of six hundred people Ayllón had brought with him, only one hundred and fifty survivors make their way back to Hispaniola in the late winter.

Most scholars consider attempts to locate the San Miguel settlement (Tierra de Ayllón) any farther north, even as far north as the Chesapeake Bay, to be unsubstantiated conjecture.
