Moses Austin(1761-1821) was a pioneer settler of Texas who, in 1808, founded the town of Herculaneum, MO, the first Anglo American town west of the Mississippi River. In 1821, Austin received a grant to bring 300 colonists into Texas, the first permission for Anglo-Americans to settle in Spanish Texas. On his way home he was attacked by highwaymen and died shortly afterward in Missouri. Before he died, he asked his son, Stephen F. Austin, to fulfill his dream of settling Anglo-Americans in Texas.
