The friend of Moses Austin who provided needed assistance in San Antonio went by the name of Felipe Enrique Neri, Baron de Bastrop. In reality he wasn't a Baron or any other type of nobility at all, he was a tax collector named Philip Hendrik Nering Bögel who left his family when he was accused of stealing tax funds and ended up in Spanish Louisiana. Moses Austin had been trying to convince the Spanish governor of Texas to allow Anglo-American settlers to colonize the area. At first the governor refused, but his friend managed to change his mind, ultimately leading to the independence of Texas less than 15 years later.
