Detailed explanation-1: -Dedicated to converting the American Indians to Christianity, the Spanish Franciscan priest Antonio Margil de Jesús was a missionary in Central America and in what are now Mexico and Texas. In 1720 he founded the most successful of the Spanish missions in Texas: San José y San Miguel de Aguayo, in San Antonio.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1716 he led a band of three fathers and two lay-brothers into Texas, and founded the missions of Guadalupe among the Nacogdoches, Dolores among the Ays, and San Miguel among the Adays. These sites are in modern-day East Texas and northern Louisiana.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Spanish began establishing missions in Texas in the 1600s. Priests and soldiers from Spain’s New Mexico missions set up outposts in San Angelo, El Paso, and Presidio. Like many of the Spanish’s efforts, these early establishments were sporadically populated and difficult to sustain.
Detailed explanation-4: -Antonio Margil de Jesus was a Franciscan monk and priest who was a missionary in New Spain during the 1600s and 1700s. Born in Valencia, Spain, on August 18, 1657, he became a monk at the early age of 15.
Detailed explanation-5: -He is remembered today not as a sailor but as the leader of the expedition that created San Antonio, Texas. Martín de Alarcón began his military career as a sailor for the Spanish royal navy in the mid-1600s.
