Creek raiders besiege San Francisco de Potano …
Years: 1705 - 1705
Creek raiders besiege San Francisco de Potano and attack the La Chua ranch near Abosaya in the spring of 1706; both of these are abandoned, and Timucua is virtually depopulated by May 1706.
According to Apalachee scholar John Hamm, between Moore's raids and these later ones, two thousand natives went into exile, and an unknown number were enslaved.
Bienville wrote that raiding in the Florida area had resulted in the killing of two thousand Apalachees and the capture of thirty-two Spaniards, seventeen of whom were burned alive.
The Spanish presence in Florida by the end of 1706 has been reduced to St. Augustine and Pensacola.
