Abstract:
Four documents concerning the efforts of Reuben Ross to establish a colony on the Red River in Texas. The first, dated May 11, 1826, is by Juan Antonio Padilla, Secretary of the government of Coahuila and Texas, and advises the President of the Republic to grant a colony to Colonel Reuben Ross and Brigadier General Arthur G. Wavell on the Red River. The second, also by Padilla, is dated August 21, 1826 and certifies that Ross fought on the side of the Republic against the Spanish, citing his actions in the battle of Rosillo. The third is a letter by Juan Cameron to the Governor of Coahuila and Texas, dated August 18, 1828. Cameron notifies the government that Reuben Ross is dead and petitions to assume Ross's grant to establish 200 families on the Colorado next to Wavell's settlement. The fourth, signed by José María Vicaria, Governor of Coahuila and Texas, is dated September 15, 1828 and reserves the decision on Cameron's request.
