Page "Bailey's Prairie, Texas" Paragraph 15

Although Bailey and Austin apparently disliked one another, Austin finally recognized Bailey's squatter's claim to the land.

He was given a league and a labor of ground on the east bank of the Brazos River.

Brit Bailey was later commissioned as a captain in the local militia.

At that time, Texans were loyal Mexican citizens and Bailey took the oath to defend the Mexican Constitution of 1824.
