At this juncture of affairs, before any location for the intended colony was fixed upon, in the midst of diligent preparations to fulfil his engage- ment, Mr. Moses Austin died. His health had suffered greatly by exposure to bad weather, from swimming and rafting rivers, and from want of provisions on his return to Missouri from Bexar; for at that time Texas was an entire wil- derness from Bexar to the Sabine. A severe cold, occasioned by this exposure, terminated in an inflammation of the lung...s, which finally put an end to his mortal life. This gentleman was a native of Durham, in the State of Connecticut, and presents an eminent specimen of the enterprising character of the New England people. At a very early age, im- pelled by a thirst of knowledge, and an ambition to make a speedy fortune, he left his native state, and, at the age of twenty, was married to Miss MariaBrown,inPhiladelphia. Shortly afterwards, in partnership with his brother, Stephen Austin, he purchased the lead mines, called ChessePs Mines, on New river, Wythe county, Virginia, •to which he removed, and established a regular system of mining and smelting, together with the manufacture of shot, sheet-lead, &c.
