 Both black Seminoles and maroons lived with the Seminoles in a feudal-like relationship; the black Seminoles paid the Seminoles with a percentage of their crops in exchange for their freedom.The black Seminoles settled in the Center Hill area in 1813 and named it Peliklakaha.Accompanying them was Seminole chief Micanopy, who made Peliklakaha his residence after the death of Payne.
