By 1675 the Guale mission village of San Diego de Satuache was incorporated with Santa Catalina de Guale. Likewise the mission villages of Santa Clara de Tupiqui and San Joseph de Sapala were merged. After two major slave raiding attacks in 1680, the Santa Catalina de Guale mission was moved south to Sapelo Island . [ 1 ]
