Henry Austin came to Texas at the urging
of his cousin, Stephen F. Austin. In 1831 the Mexican government approved
Austin’s application for land and he began a plantation, Boliver, on the Brazos
River. The plantation was never profitable, but Austin remained in Texas as a
faithful supporter of his cousin and as a lawyer.
