Muruam. A former Texas tribe, mmier- 

 ous members of which were baptized dur- 

 ing the first half of the 18th century at the 

 San Antonio missions. One individual by 

 this name was baptized in 1707 at Mission 

 San Francisco Solano, on the Rio Grande. 

 At San Antonio their baptism was first 

 recorded under " Baptisms of the Hyer- 

 bipiamos " (Ervipiames)with those of the 

 Ervipiames destined for Mission San 

 Xavier de Naxera, called the "Hyerbipi- 

 amo suburb" (1721-26). The records 

 show that in their gentile state the Mu- 

 ruam intermarried with these Ervipiames, 

 who were Tonkawan, and who came from 

 Rancheria Grande ( q. v. ) . This points to , 

 the conclusion that the Muruam were 

 Tonkawan. A difficulty is raised, how- 

 ever, by the fact that at the Ervipiame 

 suburb were also numerous Ticmamares, 

 some of which tribe had been baptized at 

 San Francisco Solano mission and were 

 apparently natives of that region ( Records 



of Mission San Antonio de Valero, MS.). 

 After 1726 the Muruam neophytes were 

 incorporated underMis8ionValero(ibid.) . 

 Their name is most frequently found in 

 the baptismal books of this mission be- 

 fore the year 1730, but members of the 

 tribe were still living there as late as 1775. 

 Compare Mariames, who may have been 

 identical. (h. e. b. )
