There are a number in instances where, for a variety of reasons, we enter an event with fewer than 10 fatalities. We do not, though, include these in tally.  \n2 Cofitachequi is the name the Spaniards of Hernando de Soto’s expedition gave to these natives. Some speculate they could have been Catawban. (Holleman, Joey.“The lost tribe of South Carolina.” The State, 7-5-2009.)  \n3 No estimate at all is made of the Natives killed, thus we have conjectured the number “more than 20,” as a very conservative, we think, estimate of the number of Natives killed. We know from Duncan’s account (Hernando de Sota, 1995) that the “Chicasa” attacked with a force of over three hundred about seven days earlier. Duncan, pulling from the accounts of the expedition afterwards, notes that there was a rout and a “pent-up rage” slaughter. It was usual for this particular force to kill all they could kill when in battle. There must have been a Native force again of something in the neighborhood of 300. We suspect that dozens, if not many dozens, were killed.  \n4 Refers to those burned at the stake, not to the Natives killed in fighting, or killed after surrender by “lancing.”  \n10. 1554--April, Hurricane, today’s Brownsville, TX --50-100  \n11. 1565--Sep 20, Massacre, Spanish troops kill male French colonists, Fort Caroline FL 5--~140  \n12. 1585, June-June 1586--Disease, Natives visited by English from Roanoke Colony, NC >360 1597--Natives Massacre St. Franciscan Missionaries, Guale (St. Catherine Island), GA-- 5  \n13. 1598--Dec 4, Pueblo Natives kill Juan de Zaldivar & soldiers seeking corn flour, W NM-13  \n14. 1599--Jan 21, Spanish (Oñate) Massacre Acoma Natives, punitive expedition, NM-300-800  \n15. 1609-10 Winter, Starvation, Disease, Attack, Jamestown Colony, VA -- ~400  \n16. 1616--Yellow Fever, Wampanoag btw.
