Detailed explanation-1: -The Mission San Sabá was established in 1757 for the Lipan Apache. The Lipan Apache, however, had enemies among the Comanche and other northern Texas Indian groups, who, after learning that their enemies would be at the mission, attacked and burned the mission. San Sabá was abandoned after the attack.
Detailed explanation-2: -Mission Santa Cruz de San Sabá, founded for the eastern Apaches in April 1757, near presentday Menard, Texas, was sacked and burned on March 16, 1758, by an allied Native American force of about 2, 000 Comanches, Tejas, Tonkawas, and others.
