Zadock Woods was financially ruined in Missouri as a result of a business venture with Moses Austin, he joined Stephen Austin's Texas Colony in 1824. he is listed as one of Stephen F. Austin's Old Three Hundred.
I got interested in this first sentence in the relationship between Moses and Stephen Austin. Was he perhaps a brother. I looked him up, and Moses Austin was the father of Stephen F. Austin.
Zadock Woods settled first in Matagordo County and later moved north on the Colorado River to Fayette County.
There, his home near West Point, was called Woods Fort (or Woods Prairie) where it became a safe haven for settlers against Indian raids.
