Westward Migration to Spanish Missouri

Moses Austin, a Connecticut-born lead mine operator in Virginia, in 1796, found himself in a failing business situation when his lead mines played out. After hearing of other lead mine prospects to the west, and getting written permission from the Spanish Minister to the United States to investigate these lead mine prospects, he and his party of miners and slaves set out for Missouri. Moses Austin was just past thirty and already a successful businessman when he migrated westward to Missouri at a time when this area was still a Spanish province.

In St. Louis, Missouri, Austin was granted from the Spanish Commandant a square league of land and the lead mines discovered at a place called Mine A Burton near St. Genevieve in January of 1797. He also received the right to settle thirty families there from the United States.
