Geoffrey Starkie - Place of death

Was he in Georgia of the American continent? Georgia was not settled in 1471. Per https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Georgia_(U.S._state)
"A modest Spanish presence was established in the late 16th century, mostly centered on Catholic mission work. The Spanish were largely gone by the early 18th century, though they remained in nearby Florida, and their presence ultimately left little impact on what would become Georgia. (Most Spanish place names in Georgia date from the 19th century, not from the age of colonization.)

English settlers arrived in the 1730s, led by James Oglethorpe."
