He made it possible for the Georgia colony to be established.

When general James Oglethorpe and his fellow settlers came across Tomochichi on the bluffs of the Savannah river Tomochichi gave them permission to establish Savannah.

During the first few years of the new colony Tomochichi also provided much assistance to the colony.
