Original grantee
Samuel Augustus Maverick was a lawyer, signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence, San Antonio civic leader, legislator, and one of the best-known land accumulators in Texas. He came to Texas during the Mexican period and began buying land, but his lasting acreage came largely after independence through purchases of headright, bounty, and donation certificates recognized by the Republic of Texas and later the State of Texas. By the 1850s and 1860s his holdings reached into the hundreds of thousands of acres. A Maverick survey on County.Land is therefore less a simple settler story than a window into the certificate market that turned Republic-era claims into surveyed Texas land.
