tility on the part of the northern tribes. 

 It seems also true that the docile tribes 

 on which the mission had largely de- 

 pended were becoming exhausted. 

 Moreover the growing villa of San Fer- 

 nando encroached upon the mission 

 lands and injurious quarrels resulted. 

 From 1764 to 1783 only 102 baptisms were 

 recorded for Valero, while a number of 

 these were of Spaniards. In 1775 In- 

 spector Oconor reported fewer than 15 

 families there (quoted by Portillo, op. cit., 

 297-98). In 1793 there were still 43 

 Payaya, Sana, and others, evidently sur- 

 vivors of families brought there long 

 before (Revilla Gigedo, Carta, Dec. 27, 

 1793, MS.). 



In 1793 this mission was secularized, 

 and the lands were divided among the 

 neophytes and some of the citizens (not 

 Indians) who had abandoned Adaes in 

 1773. The walled inclosure and the 

 buildings were later occupied by the com- 

 pany del Alamo de Farras, whence the 

 name Alamo (Revillo-Gigedo, op. cit; 

 Portillo, op. cit., 353-54), and in 1836 

 they became the scene of one of the most 

 heroic events in all history — the famed 

 resistance and annihilation of Travis and 

 his men. Mar. 6, 1836. The chapel is 

 now the property of the State of Texas. 



The baptismal records show the surpris- 

 ing number of about 100 apparently dis- 

 tinct tribes or subtribes represented at this 

 mission during its whole career after the 

 removal to the San Antonio. These are: 

 Apache, Apion, Caguas, Camai, Cantuna
