Moses Austin became founder and principal stockholder of the Bank of St. Louis, but that failed in the Panic of 1819 and he lost his entire fortune. This most likely is where Zadock Woods ended up losing his money. Them, Moses became involved in the colonization of Texas.
He died in 1821 of pneumonia and is buried in Potosi, Missouri.
