| Thomas Ash, otherwise unidentified, has long
been ascribed as the author of this tract, but in the absence
of substantial evidence in his favor it seems more likely that
it was written by Thomas Amy, relative of Lord Proprietor Sir
John Colleton. Amy, later a Proprietor in his own right, was
made a Cacique late in 1682. St. Julien Ravenel Childs, Malaria
and Colonization in the Carolina Low Country (Baltimore, Maryland:
The Johns Hopkins Press [The Johns Hopkins Studies in Historical
and Political Science, Series LVII, No. 1], 1940), 189. It is very likely that Thomas Amy became a Landgrave if he was "later a Proprietory in his own right" and already a Cacique in 1682. |
