Two months later, the Chiscas caciques were settled in the territory of this people. In January that year, Hurruytiner ordered Ensign Pedro de Florencia to search for the people living in missions San Francisco de Potano and Santa Fé de Teleco, because Hurruytiner had feared those places would be depopulated. 〔Worth, John E.
