History
7
Three miles to the east on September 23, 1696, the British barkentine Reformation foundered off Jupiter Island. The 24 survivors included a party of Quakers bound from Jamaica to Pennsylvania. Their leader, Jonathan Dickinson, later recounted the group's trials in his book, God's Protecting Providence, the first account of Indians on the southeast coast. After being attacked by Indians and driven northward, the party arrived at St. Augustine in November, 1696.
