Death of Juan Alonso Cabale and reported extinction of the Timucua
- When
- 14 November 1767 (legacy record only)
- Where
- Guanabacoa, Cuba
The legacy record reports that the last speaker of the Timucuan language died in Guanabacoa, Cuba, ending the Timucua tribe's existence.
The legacy record identifies Juan Alonso Cabale as the last speaker of the Timucuan language and places his death on 14 November 1767 in Guanabacoa, Cuba, marking the extinction of the Timucua tribe. The supplied passages do not corroborate this death event: they confirm only that fewer than 100 Timucua and other natives were taken to Cuba in 1763 when Spain ceded Florida to Great Britain, and that Guanabacoa housed a community of Florida Indians evacuated that year. The date, the name, and the Guanabacoa setting of the death therefore rest solely on the legacy record.
