Stephen Fuller Austin, (1793–1836). known as the “Father of Texas,” was born on November 3, 1793. In August 1821, authorized by Governor Antonio María Martínez to carry on the colonization enterprise in Texas under his father's grant, Austin came to an understanding about certain administrative procedures and was permitted by the governor to explore the coastal plain between the San Antonio and Brazos rivers for the purpose of selecting a site for the proposed colony. Among other details, he arranged with Martínez to offer land to settlers.
