Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe de los Na- 

 cogdoches. A misi^ioii founded July 9, 

 1716, by the Franciscans of Zacatet'as, at 

 the Nacogdoche village and for the JS^a- 

 cogdoche and Nacao tribes. The site was 

 evidently that of the present city of Na- 

 cogdoches, Tex. It was the head Zaca- 

 tccan niis-siun in e. Texas, being at first 

 in charge of the president, Fray Antonio 

 Margil (le Jesus. After him, the most 

 noted missionary there was Josej^h Cal- 

 ahorra y Haenz (m. 1750-1770). In 1719 

 the mission wasabandoned, like the (it hers 

 of E. Texas, and when in 17L'l Aguayo 

 and Margil de Jesus went to reestablish 

 it, not a sign of church or dwelling re- 

 mained. On Aug. IS the new churcli 

 was dedicated; Fray Josp Rodriguez was 

 put in charge, and ;W0 Indians were given 

 jiresrnts, having promised to settle in a 

 puelilo, a promise which they evidently 

 never fulfilled. When in 1730-31 the 

 Queretaran missions near by were trans- 

 ferred to San Antonio, this with the other 

 Zacatecan missions was retained, but it 

 was never successful. . More than once it 

 was in danger of destruction by the 

 Indians, who were made hostile to the 

 Spaniards by the influence of the French. 

 By 1752 the Nacogdoche Indian village 

 had been removed some 3 leagues north- 

 ward. In 1767 Rubi reported the mission 

 to be without a single neophyte, either 

 baptized or under instruction. The next 

 year Sob's reported that there were an 

 adobe church and several wooden build- 

 ings at the mission, but found in the books 

 the record of only 12 baptisms, 8 burials, 

 and 5 marriages. With the cession of 

 Louisiana to Spain in 1762 one of tlie 

 chief reasons for the mission's existence 

 was removed, and accordingly, on recom- 

 mendation by Rul)i in 1767, its abandon- 

 ment, together with that of the neighbor- 

 ing estal)iishments, was ordered in 1772 

 and effected in 1773. Part of the settlers 

 who had been removed in the latter year 

 from E. Texas settled in 1774 on the 

 Trinity, at a jilace called Pilar de Buca- 

 reli; but. because of a flood and attacks 

 V)y the Comanche, they migrated in 1779 

 to the site of the Nacogdoi'lie mission, 

 apparently occupying some of its build- 

 ings, and became the founders of modern 

 Nacogdoches.

Nuestra Senora de la Candelaria. One 



of three Franciscan missions established 

 about 1747-4S on San Xavier (novv San 

 Gabriel) r., Tex. For the circumstances 

 of its founding, see iSaii FndiciM'o de Ilur- 

 casitas and consult .also Sail Ildefonxo. 

 This was the last of these three missions 

 to be put in operation, but it is not known 

 exactly when the neophytes arrived. 

 The principal tril)e at the mission was 

 the Coco from the lower Colorado (Ar- 

 ricivita, Cronica, ii, 336, 337, 1792). 

 Some time before Mar. 11, 1751, Capt. 

 Joseph de Eca y iMusijuiz inspected the 

 mission and reported at service 102 neo- 

 phytes (ibid., 328; Viceroy's decree, Mar. 

 11, 1751, MS. in Lamar j)apers). This 

 mission had an unfortunate career. About 

 Dec. 1751, Capt. R;ibago y Teran reported 

 the neophytes as alreatly reduced to 25 

 (Bonilla in Tex. Hist. Ass'n Quar., viir, 

 49, 1905). Early in 1752 the Coco took 

 umbrage at the punishment of a slight 

 offense and left in a body for their home 

 on the Colorado (Arricivita, op. cit., 333). 

 A few daA's afterward Father Ganzabal, 

 minister at San Ildefonso, who ha<I quar- 

 reled with the captain of the presidio, 

 was murdered in the door of the Cande- 

 laria mission by an unknown person. 

 Later the Coco promised t< > return to their 

 mission, but apparently they never did so, 

 for the last of the three, San Xavier de 

 Horcasitas, was soon abandcmed (ibid., 

 333, 336). They were taken instead, it 

 seems, to San Antonio de Valero mission, 

 for, beginning in 1755, there were numer- 

 ous burials there of Coco who had been 

 baptized at Candelaria on Rio San Xavier 

 (Valero, MS. Entierros, entries for the 

 years 1755-1765). (h. e. b. )

Nuestra Senora de la Candelaria. A mis- 

 sion founded Feb. 8, 1762, by Capt. 

 Phelipe Rabago y Tenin and Fray Diego 

 Ximinez, on the w. side of San Jo.'^eph r., 

 now the ui)per Nueces ( not the San 

 Antonio, as has been conjectured), near 

 a site called El Canon. This mission and 

 San Lorenzo, which was 4 leagues away, 

 were founded for the Lipan after they 

 had 1)een frightened from the San Saba 

 mission by the attack of the Comanche 

 and others in 1758. The chief who asked 

 for this mission and was made "gover-
