Partly-printed DS, in Spanish, signed “Mig. Arciniega,” (a land commissioner for Stephen Austin), one page both sides, 8.25 x 12, April 19, 1831. Austin land grant issued to Elizabeth Campbell for property on the Colorado River, completed in the hand of Austin’s right-hand man Samuel May Williams. In part (translated): “For such Elizabeth Campbell has received as colonist of the undertaking of colonization contracted by the Governor of the State of Coahuila and Texas by the Entrepreneur Stephen F. Austin…I concede, confer and give possession real and personal a site of land to the mentioned Elizabeth Campbell—whose land has been measured by surveyor Thomas H. Borden—named previously under the following situations and boundaries, situated over the left margin of the adjacent Colorado river and below the quarter site number 1…Therefore, using faculties conceded to me by the proper law, and instructions, I expedite the present instrument and mandate that it take testimony to such and to be given to the interested party to possess and enjoy the land, him, his children, inheritors and successors, and from them cause or rights are received.” Signed at the conclusion by Arciniega, and witnessed by Robert Taylor and C. C. Givens. Accompanying the document is a hand-drawn sketch of the property, docketed on the reverse, “Campbell League Map,” with the Colorado river along the bottom of the sketch. In very good condition, with intersecting folds, small areas of paper loss along hinge with second integral page, small area of paper loss to edge of first page, and some mild toning and creasing. Sketch rates fine, with intersecting folds, and scattered light toning and foxing. Elizabeth Campbell came to Texas in 1829 with 3 sons and two daughters as part of Austin's colony. An interesting document with the scarce inclusion of the related survey map. The Robert Davis Collection.
