November 3, 2021 - Stephen F. Austin was born on November 3, 1793, and is remembered as the ‘Father of Texas’ because he brought the first legal and successful group of colonists to Texas. The group consisted of 300 families from the United States. His father, Moses Austin, was the original recipient of the grant after he made a trip to Spanish Texas to request it. He was attacked on his way back to Missouri and became ill and died in 1821, shortly after his return to his home.

January 6, 2021 - The William Carroll Crawford Chapter of the Daughters of the Republic of Texas January meeting has been cancelled. After discussion, it was decided it is best to forego the January meeting. The numbers are climbing in the US, in Texas, in Shelby County and in the schools. Hopefully by February, after people start getting the vaccine, the meetings can resume. Stay safe.
