Moses Austin was the father of Stephen F. Austin, who himself is known as the Father of Texas. In 1821 he and his friend managed to convince the Spanish governor of Texas to allow Anglo-Americans to colonize the area, ultimately leading to the secession of Texas from Mexico by English speaking immigrants from the American colonies just 11 years later.
