Stephen Fuller Austin was born [[Nov 3]], 1793 in Austinville, Virginia, son of Moses Austin (1767-1821). Stephen was raised on the Missouri frontier, where his father Moses had a lead-mining operation. Stephen served in the Missouri Territorial Legislature, from 1814 to 1819. The [[Economic Panic of 1819]] led his father to embark on a scheme for the colonization of Texas, then part of Mexico. In 1821 Moses obtained a grant from the Mexican government, but died soon thereafter. It was his son Stephen who followed his father's idea and started a colony there in 1822 with several hundred families on the Brazos River. Stephen Austin died [[Dec 27]], 1836 Austin, Texas. ==Secondary sources== *Encyclopaedia Brittanica, 1985, "[[StephenFAustin1|Stephen F Austin]]" *"Early Lawrence County, Arkansas Records 1817-1830" by Desmond Walls Allen, 1995 transcribed [[StephenFAustin2|here]] *"The Descendants of Richard Austin of Charlestown Massachusetts 1638, unpublished manuscript,", Edith Austin Moore, LDS Film#0873972#2.
