 Around or before 1684, one small group of Yamasee-Guale refugees, led by Chief Altamaha, moved north to the mouth of the Savannah River.That year, a Scottish colony called Stuarts Town was founded in South Carolina on Port Royal Sound near the Savannah River.Stuarts Town survived only about two years, but during that time the Scots residents formed a strong bond with the Yamasee-Guale.
