notes:
Jonathan Dickinson, a Quaker merchant from Port Royal, Jamaica, was shipwrecked on present-day Jupiter Island, near Hobe sound on the southeast coast of Florida in 1696, along with his family and the other passengers and crew members of the ship. They were held captive by Indians for several days and then forced to travel by boat and on foot the 230 miles up the coast to Saint Augustine. The Indians threatened the castaways, forced them to remove their clothes, and called them Nikkalier or Englishmen.
